  • Drum apparatus and method of use
    Patent number: 9972291
    Abstract: A drum apparatus comprising at least a front wall, a snare bar rotatably installed substantially parallel to and offset from the front wall inner surface and having at least one snare wire extending substantially vertically therefrom so as to be adjacent to and selectively in contact with the front wall inner surface, and a rocker assembly comprising a lever mechanically coupled to the snare bar at a first end of the lever and further comprising an actuator leg pivotally coupled to and extending downwardly from an opposite second end of the lever pivotally installed within the drum apparatus on a support post coupled to the lever intermediate the first and second ends thereof, whereby the drum apparatus is shifted between first and second operational modes by selectively positioning the drum apparatus either substantially flat or tipped back so as to raise or lower the actuator leg.
