  • Publication number: 20080148921
    Abstract: An article of manufacture for bass drum damping with variable physical and acoustical damping characteristics for the purpose of altering bass drum tonal qualities, with two different double-bevel end-shapes, different end-to-end lengths (accommodating standard manufactured bass drum depths) to allow complete end-shape contact with both drumheads simultaneously, dense processed recycled cotton acoustically absorbent main-body material for broadband frequency absorption, durable acoustically transparent open-weave poly mesh main-body covering material allowing maximum acoustical absorption, and rubber-like acoustically transparent end-shape covering material enabling increased contact point friction for reduced displacement while allowing maximum acoustical absorption.
