Abstract
An adjustable drum mount composed of a fixed component and at least one mounting component, wherein the relative position of the mounting component with respect to the fixed component is adjustable. The fixed component is durably attached to the drum shell with fasteners. The fixed component has a planar, extending member, which connects with the mounting component(s). The planar, extending member has one end, attached continuously to the bulk of the fixed component, called the fixed end. The planar, extending member has another end, disposed distal to the fixed end, called the free end, which can vibrate. The mounting components can be mounted substantially anywhere between the fixed end and the free end. The adjustment changes the stiffness with which the drum mount connects the drum leg or support to the drum.
Claims11
A drum mount comprising a fixed component and at least one mounting component, wherein
- the fixed component is attached to a drum shell with at least one threaded fastener;
- the fixed component has a planar extending member with at least two ends, one a fixed end and one a free end;
- at the fixed end, the extending member is fixed relative to the drum shell;
- and at the free end, the extending member is free to vibrate, orthogonally, relative to the drum shell;
- wherein the mounting component can be fastened to the planar extending member;
- and
- wherein the mounting component can be fastened to the planar extending member of the fixed component substantially anywhere along the length of the planar extending member from the fixed end to the free end.
