One end of the cylindrical body comprises protruding socket slots designed to engage wing nuts of various sizes for rapid but sensitive adjustments. The other end of the cylinder tapers down in diameter to a socket style wrench. The socket style wrench end can be used for tuning heads on standard percussion instruments such as congas, bongos, timbales, etc, and for tightening and loosening various nuts and bolts through out the musical industry world. A slidable coupled cross center rod, can be round, oval, hexagon, octagon and others forms, is guided thru the cylinder body midsection, at an angle adjustable for maximum leverage in confined spaces. The cross center rod also has a counter sunk square hole at one end that can be fitted on any standard musical drum lug nut so one can tune drum heads, as well as, tighten and loosen any and all same size, square headed nuts and bolts through out the drum and percussion world. | ||||||
| 184 | Drum-mounted striker-type percussion attachment | US10794970 | 2004-03-05 | US07148412B2 | 2006-12-12 | Peter Crane |
| A percussion attachment mounts onto the rim of an African hand drum, e.g., Jembe, so that the percussionist can play both the drum and the percussion device without having to pick up a drumstick or striker. The percussion attachment has a brace and a striker. The brace has transverse curved bar that rests rest atop the annular flange formed by the crown ring of the drum. Uprights, i.e., vertical legs affixed to the curved bar extend downward so a foot portion rests against the drum. A transverse pivot member is supported on the uprights above the curved bar at a position above the rim of the drum. A cowbell or other percussion device is supported on the brace. An elongated striker pivots on pivot member, with a handle and a striker tip. The tip moves in a vertical arc so that it can hit the cowbell when the percussionist slaps the striker handle. A spring can bias the striker to a neutral position. There can be more than one striker, and more than one percussion device. | ||||||

| 192 | Drumhead and tensioning apparatus | US10307854 | 2002-12-03 | US06765139B2 | 2004-07-20 | Remo D. Belli |
| An improved drumhead and tensioning apparatus comprising a flat annular hoop having a generally flat upper member and a generally flat lower member parallel to and spaced apart from the flat upper member. Disposed and secured between the flat upper and lower members is a material for constituting a drumming surface which is entirely planar and when joined with the annular hoop, forms a generally uniformly flat drumhead. Around the periphery of the drumhead are a plurality of openings for receiving tensioning bolts with threaded ends. Also provided are a generally flat annular counterhoop and a suspension ring with each having a plurality of spaced apart openings for receiving and engaging the tensioning bolts. The suspension ring includes a vertically projecting collar member with an upper edge portion, which is integrally formed with the suspension ring as a single, unitary component. The collar member may also be provided as a separate and independent element supported at its base by the separate suspension ring. The drumhead is disposed between the annular counterhoop and the suspension ring to enable the drumming surface material to uniformly engage and press against the upper edge portion of the collar member. Upon the insertion of the tensioning bolts into and through the aligned openings in the annular counterhoop, the drumhead and the suspension ring, and the rotation of the threaded end of each bolt into the corresponding threaded opening in the suspension ring, the annular counterhoop and the suspension ring compress and engage to gradually stretch and increase the tension of the drumming surface material. | ||||||
