Abstract: A harness intended to be worn by a marching drummer, to support the drum in playing position at the front of the marcher. The harness comprises shoulder hooks supporting a center breast plate, from which a hanger structure depends. At the lower portion of the hanger structure there is an upwardly-facing hook means adapted to fit under and into a ledge on the drum wall. A spacer bar extends downward from the hook means, and has a forward-projecting abutment adapted for engagement with the side wall of the drum to maintain the latter in playing position while being supported by the hook means.
