Abstract: An apparatus (10) for supporting a microphone (12) and a pedal switch (14) comprises a case (16) comprising first and second shells (18,20), a pedal support (22) secured within the first shell (18), and a reconfigurable microphone stand (24) that may alternatively be configured to extend from the pedal support (22) or be stored within the second shell (20). The pedal support (22) is mounted within the first shell (18) and includes a pedal board (58) substantially covered by a fastening material, such as a loop material (68) found in Velcro® fasteners. Likewise, a hook material (70) preferably covers a bottom surface (72) of the pedal switch (14). Thus, the pedal switch (14) may be gently pressed into the pedal board (58), thereby causing the hook material (70) to mate with the loop material (68) and hold the pedal switch (14) in position.

Abstract: A musical device (10) adapted for cooperative use with a drum (11) or similar percussion instrument such that striking or otherwise sounding the percussion instrument also sounds the musical device (10). In a preferred embodiment, the musical device (10) comprises a ring (12) and a plurality of jingles (14). The ring (12) being adapted to support the jingles (14) and to removably lay upon a drumhead (15) portion of the drum (11). The plurality of jingles (14) are coupled with the ring (12) and are movable so as to affect a desired sound in response to a striking of the drum (11). No jingles (14) are coupled with a reserved portion (22) of the ring (12) so as to facilitate substantially unimpeded access to the drumhead (15) via the reserved portion (22).
