Abstract: A drum stand stabilizing assembly, generally intended for marching percussion instruments such as snare drums. The invention uses a lateral support to hold the weight of the instrument in multiple locations, a post or posts to stabilize the instrument in the proper position, and a mating receiver mounted to the instrument to allow for assembly of the complete support structure. The assembly provides for a stable support structure and maintains the instrument in the proper orientation for practice or performance. The assembly provides for fast and simple mounting of the instrument.

Abstract: A support for musical instruments, especially marching percussion instruments such as multi-tenor sets, which uses a gravitating pivot to align the instrument in the proper orientation. The support simplifies and speeds the mounting of the instrument to a support stand. The support provides for interesting visual effects when desired by allowing the instrument to be easily spun around a vertical axis. The support is adaptable to different combinations of multi-tenor drum sets, such as doubles, triples, tri-toms, and quads.

Abstract: A percussion instrument spinner comprises a mounting structure having an integral swivel allowing the drum or instrument to rotate. The design is especially suited to marching bass drums. The spinner includes a locking mechanism in order to position the instrument's rotated position and fix it from further rotation. The spinner also includes two eyebolt-type mounts to allow it to be easily placed on a carrier, and two support bars which perform dual functions: 1) Holding the instrument at the proper height for the player, and 2) Supporting the instrument in a stable manner when the instrument is placed on the ground, with the edge of the instrument held off the ground to allow the heads to vibrate freely. The drum or percussion instrument with spinner is easily and removably attached to a carrier which the performer wears on their body in order to be able to move about and/or march while playing.

Abstract: A one-piece retainer for a cymbal on a stand. The essence of the invention is a one-piece retainer secured to the cymbal rod. The unit employs a plastic, cylindrical sleeve to mount to a threaded cymbal rod, with spring fingers which are compressed as the cymbal is pushed onto the cymbal support. The spring fingers then release to their original position when the cymbal is fully in place, and act to prevent the cymbal from coming off the cymbal support.
