Abstract: In a drum foot pedal comprising a base having two upwardly extending arms provided two sleeves at the upper ends thereof, a pedal having an end pivotally mounted on the pedal, a hexagonal axle, two bearings fitted in the sleeves, a stick having an end fixedly mounted on the hexagonal axle, a block member provided with a chain which extends downwardly to engage with another end of the pedal, and a stretching mechanism mounted between an end of the hexagonal axle and a flange of one of the arms, the improvement wherein the stretching mechanism comprises a connector fixedly mounted on the hexagonal axle by a pin, a spring having an upper end connected with the connector, a screw rod having an upper end connected with a lower end of the spring, a nut threadedly engaged with an intermediate portion of the screw rod, and a locking nut threadedly engaged with a lower portion of the screw rod, the flange being formed at the bottom with two cross inclined surfaces and a slot in which is fitted a positioning plate havi

Abstract: A musical instrument stand such as a hi-hat stand equipped with hi-hat cymbals is basically constructed by legs (or tripod), a stand member, a pedal frame, an operation rod and a return spring. Herein, the operation rod is inserted into an internal space of the stand member, which is a pipe being vertically supported by the legs, such that the operation rod is capable of moving up and down inside of the stand member. The pedal frame is placed horizontally in connection with the stand member and is equipped with a pedal having a prescribed angle against a horizontal plane. The operation rod is normally pressed upwardly by the return spring by means of a connection member. When a performer depresses a front end of the pedal with his or her foot, the operation rod which is interlocked with the pedal by means of a transmission member is forced to move downwardly against spring force of the return spring.

Abstract: A device with pedal (2), and a method for using a device with pedal, for at least two percussion instruments such as a base drum and “Charleston” cymbal, includes a support base of at least two mobile parts, for the percussion of each of the two instruments respectively. The device also includes a single pedal (2) for actuating the mobile parts. The pedal has a first end (11), for resting the user's heel on the ground, which first end is mounted doubly pivoting about a horizontal axis (13) and a vertical axis (15), and a second end (20) provided to co-operate with a device (22) arranged to enable the user to acuate alternately the mobile parts.

Abstract: A percussion instrument pedal with an adjustable weight has a pedal assembly including a pedal (30) with one end pivotally mounted on one end of the base (60), a weight adjustment device (20) mounted on the bottom of the pedal (30) and having a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pedal (50), the weight (10) being slidably mounted on the weight adjustment device (20) and used to adjust the center of mass of the pedal (10) by shifting the position of the weight (10) on the weight adjustment device (20).

Abstract: A folding collapsible foot pedal mechanism installed in a hi-hat cymbal, the foot pedal mechanism including a pedal holder assembly, a foot pedal fixedly fastened to the pedal holder assembly, and a linking mechanism coupled between the foot pedal and the bottom end of the center rod in the center shaft of the hi-hat cymbal, wherein the pedal holder assembly includes a U-shaped holder base, the holder base having two parallel posts; a transverse rod connected between the posts; two clamping plates respectively fastened to the posts to fix the transverse rod in position; and an angled coupling head turned about the transverse rod, the coupling head having a transverse through hole, which receives the transverse rod, and a vertical through hole, which receives the center shaft of the hi-hat cymbal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved structure of a drum beater, and in particular, the beating element of the drum beater can be optionally replaced. The drum beater has a body with a plurality of sides, and each of the sides is provided with an insertion slot. An engaging plate with a protruded rail at one of the surface of the plate is insertable into the insertion slot. The other surface of the plate is adhered with the beating element made of an appropriate material and/or various arch-shaped surface. The drum beater is connected by a rod pivotally connected to a drum pedal.

Abstract: An installation structure for a high hat cymbal having upper and lower cymbals which are held compressed against each other. A respective elastic member is disposed above the upper cymbal and below the lower cymbal. A pressure applying device applies differential pressure on the elastic member of the upper cymbal for adjusting the compression of the cymbals together. The pressure applying device includes a pivotable plate having edge regions at different radii from the transverse pivot axis of the plate, and a functional member that is pressed upon by the selected edge region of the pivotable plate selectively adjusts the force applied to the elastic members. The various members holding the cymbals, the elastic members and the pressure applying device on the installation rod are disclosed.

Abstract: A foot-operated, bass drum pedal assembly is provided with a series of interchangeable cam members selectively disposed on a sprocket hub mounted on the rotating axle disposed between the two upright posts. The interchangeable cam system permits a user to alter the performance characteristics or playing response of the drum pedal system by changing the cam profile for that pedal. The user need not disassemble the entire sprocket and hub assembly; rather, the cam profile is changed by selectively changing a detachable cam member with one of a series of cam members.
