Abstract: A percussion instrument mounting apparatus for mounting a second pair of cymbals or the like to a stand used for supporting and actuating a first pair of cymbals. Frame means connectible to the upper end portion of an upstanding tube assembly of the stand includes a lower spider element slidably encircling and fixedly connectable to the tube assembly, and also a three arm upper spider element superposed in coaxial alignment with the lower spider element. Each arm means includes (a) a lower arm pivotally connected at one end to the lower spider element and with a free end extending upwardly and radially outwardly from the lower spider element, and (b) an upper arm pivotally connected at one end to the upper spider element and with a free end extending downwardly and radially outwardly from said upper spider element. The upper and lower arms are pivotally connected together at a location intermediate the ends of both arms.
