Abstract
A drum pedal assembly has a base plate adapted to sit on the floor and having an outer end adapted to be juxtaposed with a drum and an opposite inner end and a pedal pivoted on the base-plate inner end. A pair of posts having upper and lower ends are releasably fixed at the base-plate outer end with the posts generally parallel and vertical. Respective bearings on the post upper ends support a shaft carrying a beater mount. Mechanism links the pedal to the shaft for rotation of the shaft on depression of the pedal.
