Abstract
A drum beating assembly that comprises a frame, including at least one pedestal; an axle carried by the pedestal to rotate relative thereto, the axle having an axis of rotation; a drum beater carried by the axle; a pedal operatively connected to the axle to rotate the axle and beater in response to pedal movement; the frame including a base plate, there being a clamp arm to clamp a drum rim, structure supporting the arm on the plate to pivot relative thereto, and clamp the rim, and a first adjustable member positioning the arm for pivoting; the extent of pivoting of the member being separately adjustable.
Claims11
In a drum beating assembly, the combination comprising:
- a) a frame, including at least one pedestal,
- b) an axle carried by the pedestal to rotate relative thereto, the axle having an axis of rotation,
- c) a drum beater carried by the axle,
- d) a pedal operatively connected to the axle to rotate the axle and beater in response to pedal movement,
- e) the frame including a base plate, there being a clamp arm to clamp a drum rim, means supporting the arm on the plate to pivot relative thereto, and clamp said rim, and a first adjustable member located to pivot said arm as said member is moved.
