Abstract: The real drum trigger monitor and amplified tone module is an electronic percussion instrument, satisfying the desire of drummers to have realistic electronic drums with the audible drum sound coming directly from the instrument triggering the sound being heard. The monitor has a speaker subsystem and patch capability mounted within an actual acoustic drum shell having a mesh drumhead and electronic trigger. The output of the electronic trigger is fed into an industry recognized tone processor before being fed back to the integrated speaker sub-system mounted in the drum, thereby producing sound coming directly from the drum activating the electronic signal. Alternatively, a traditional electronic percussion instrument may be mounted to the real drum trigger monitor and amplified tone module to provide an integrated drum trigger and speaker monitor.

Abstract: The drum pedal stabilizer is designed to eliminate the problems of beater dropout, pedal and beater oscillation, drum head retrigger, tempo influence and jitter feel on drum pedals and beaters. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a stabilizer having a mounting plate and a gas spring adapted for attachment to a drum pedal to counteract oscillation of the conventional helical spring. The stabilizer may be an aftermarket attachment to conventional drum pedals, or may be incorporated as original equipment in new drum pedal assemblies.
