| A resilient isolation ring member is provided for reducing a transfer of energy from a percussion instrument to a support surface supporting a percussion instrument. The isolation ring member comprises a donut-shaped main body having a top surface and a bottom surface; and a central aperture provided in the donut-shaped main body, wherein the central aperture provided in the donut-shaped main body defines an hour-glass opening in the main body. The hour-glass opening is preferably tapered to have a smallest diameter at a central portion of the main body and larger diameters at a top and a bottom of the body. The combination of a support foot for a percussion instrument and a resilient isolation ring member reduces a transfer of energy from the percussion instrument to a support surface supporting the percussion instrument. | ||||||

At least one of a lug casing of the drum shell and a rim portion of the drum hoop has a threaded hole configured to receive the threaded lug screw shaft for rotation. A lug screw lock is threaded on the lug screw shaft adjacent the threaded hole of the lug casing and the rim portion of the drum hoop and can be rotated to tighten the lug screw lock against a surface adjacent to the threaded hole of the lug casing and the rim portion of the drum hoop to provide an interference fit to lock the threaded lug screw shaft to the surface adjacent the lug casing and the rim portion of the drum hoop having the threaded hole therein. | ||||||
| 245 | Instrument Tuner for Drums | US13184009 | 2011-07-15 | US20120240749A1 | 2012-09-27 | John Eric Bjornson |
| An instrument tuner for drums that has a sensing means for sensing the combined fundamental resonance and pitch from inside the drum; a measurement means for measuring a frequency of said combined fundamental resonance and pitch; and a selection means to then compare the frequency measured to a corresponding musical note of the instrument tuner. Eventhough the sensing means will be internal to the drum, the tuner or display could be external to the drum and/or separate from the sensing means; a wireless device or system is specified also that could be used with this method. A single-note tuner is specified, as well as a tuner designed to recognize more than a single-note, if a wireless device or system is used, as one example, for a complete drumset. | ||||||

| A resonance tuner receives and digitizes an analog signal in response to a resonance of a structure thereby creating a plurality of time samples. A series of the time samples are buffered upon burst detection. A power spectrum is estimated by computing a Time-To-Frequency-Transform of the series of time samples and a magnitude of each of the resulting frequency samples is squared. At least one subset associated with at least one spectral peak is selected from the frequency samples. Each spectral peak has at least one sample with a sufficient magnitude and being spectrally adjacent to any other sample in another spectral peak by less than a threshold. A fundamental spectral peak is determined in a fundamental subset including a spectral peak with a sample at the lowest frequency greater than zero. The fundamental spectral peak has the sample with the largest magnitude within the fundamental subset. | ||||||

| 254 | Drum rim gap or space dimension gauge | US12006725 | 2008-01-07 | US07511210B2 | 2009-03-31 | Randall L. May |
| A drum gauge is disclosed that provides a measurement of the length of the tension rods. In operation the gauge is compressed, placed around each tension rod and released. A display on the gauge provides a numerical value for the relative exposed length of the tension rod(s). The gauge is then moved to each tension rod to determine the length of each rod or the gap or space between the hoops or between the hoop and the lug casings. A nut on the end of each tension rod is adjusted until all the tension rods are adjusted to the same length. The gauge allows the head to be evenly adjusted so the same pitch exists in all locations on the drum head. The gauge has a lip to ensure it is placed consistently on each tension rod and further includes posts to allow the gauge to be used with drums made with different tension rods, counter hoops, claws and lug casings. | ||||||
| 255 | Instrument Support Apparatus Having Non-Horizontal Tiers and Vertical Axis Pivot Capability | US10586115 | 2005-01-14 | US20080247810A1 | 2008-10-09 | Donald H. Eason |
| The inventive technology may relate to a retention apparatus (1) that in at least one embodiment comprises a compression sleeve element (2) established at least partially 5 around portions of a first elongated member (6) that telescopes from a larger elongated member (8) in which it may nest. A relative motion obstruction element (4) may disallow only certain types of motion, e.g., rotational and axial, of the compression sleeve element relative to the elongated members around which it may be at least partially established. As it instead may be the compression enhancement element (3)—which may be used to generate a retaining compression force element—that prevents perpendicular displacement of the compression sleeve element, deactivation and effective disengagement of the compression enhancement element may allow for a quick removal of the compression sleeve element without requiring that it be slid off an end of either elongated member. | ||||||

| An electronic percussion instrument stand includes a center pipe structure. The center pipe structure has at least one center pipe having a longitudinal axis. A center pipe structure with at least two center pipes provides increased stability. A crescent-shaped base structure supports the center pipe structure in an upright orientation. At least one first arm supports at least one electronic percussion instrument. At least one first joint connects first arm to the center pipe structure. Each joint is adjustable in a direction of the longitudinal axis of the center pipe and in a direction around the longitudinal axis of the center pipe, for adjusting the position of the first arm. Each joint is adjustable between a position for playing electronic percussion instruments supported on the at least one arm, to a retracted position for transportation. | ||||||

| 260 | Method and apparatus for counter-weighting a bass drum | US11382244 | 2006-05-08 | US20070256538A1 | 2007-11-08 | Michael Parra |
| This invention is a new and useful method and apparatus for counter-weighting a bass drum to prevent slippage while in use on hard, slick floors in a traditional rock or jazz-style percussion arrangement. This method and apparatus utilizes the weight of a percussion player sitting on his or her percussion stool or chair as a counter-weight to keep the bass drum from slipping forward as it is played by connecting the forward spurs on the front of the bass drum to the leg or center pole of a drum stool via an adjustable guy-strap system radiating from the center pole or leg of the stool in an arrangement designed with adjustments and hardware for ease of use. | ||||||
