Variable tack drumstick handle
A drumstick has a conventional tip and tapered shank, but the handle portion on the shaft has a wavy profile, with a nominal diameter and with the peaks rising above the nominal diameter and the valleys recessed below the nominal diameter. Whether or not the drumstick has a wavy handle, the outer surface of the drumstick has a tack which increases with increasing moisture of the drumstick outer surface, e.g., the tack increases between an initial condition of a drummer's dry skin against a dry drumstick surface and a play condition of a drummer's moist skin against a moist drumstick.
Pedal apparatus for percussion instrument
Pivot shaft support members, formed as component parts separate from support posts of a frame of a pedal apparatus, are mounted on respective upper ends of the support posts, and the pivot shaft support members pivotably support the opposite ends of a pivot shaft for a beater rod. A heel section is provided on a rear end portion of an under plate of the pedal apparatus, and a pair of left and right hinge support members, formed as component parts separate from the heel section, are mounted to the heel section. The hinge support members pivotably support the opposite ends of a pivot shaft of a hinge section of a foot board. Because the pivot shaft support members and the hinge support members are separate component parts from the frame, mounted positions of these support members can be adjusted finely during mounting, to the frame, of the support members.
Multi-purpose drum
A multi-purpose drum that can be assembled into a floor-tom, a bass drum, or a gong bass drum through different mating parts according to the performance requirements. This multi-purpose drum is lightweight, easy to carry, and quick to assemble.
Musical instrument support bar capable of adjusting bending direction and bending angle freely
The present invention relates to a musical instrument support bar disposed between a musical instrument bottom pole and a musical instrument vertical pole. The musical instrument support bar comprises a holder, a ball head bar and an extension bar, wherein the holder comprises a bottom pole clamp for clamping the musical instrument bottom pole, and a ball type clamp. Two ends of the ball head bar are respectively a ball head end clamped by the ball type clamp, and a columnar end. Two ends of the extension bar are respectively a first end engaging the columnar end and a second end engaging the musical instrument vertical pole. Accordingly, as the universal rotation ability is formed by the ball head end clamped by the ball type clamp, the musical instrument support bar is bent freely so that a bending direction and a bending angle thereof can meet the needs in use.
Motorcycle with rear controls
A motorcycle having rear-steering controls, including a rear handle bar for steering, for allowing a rear rider to control the motorcycle from a rearward position.
Eccentrically-arranged automatic restoring striking structure
The invention comprises a striking rod, a rotating shaft, a stand and an elastic element, wherein the rotating shaft comprises a shaft body where the striking rod is disposed, two side ends on two sides of the shaft body, and a protrusion arranged on the shaft body and opposite to the striking rod. The stand comprises a base and two columns arranged on two sides of the base. The two columns are respectively provided with a socket tube pivotally connected to the side end, and a locking hole. The locking hole is located below the socket tube and is offset towards a musical instrument. Two ends of the elastic element are respectively fixed to the locking hole and an engaging element. Since the socket tube is not on the same vertical line as the locking hole, an initial position of the striking rod is offset away from the musical instrument.
CAJON PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT
A cajn percussion instrument includes a mallet mechanism and a pedal mechanism. The mallet mechanism has a first upright frame disposed on a first bottom plate. A first rotating member is insertedly connected to the first upright frame. The first rotating member is provided with a mallet. The pedal mechanism has a second upright frame disposed on a second bottom plate. A second rotating shaft is insertedly connected to the second upright frame. Two ends of a pedal are pivotally connected to the second bottom plate and the second rotating member, respectively. A fixing seat is provided on each of the first bottom plate and the second bottom plate. A sleeve is connected to the second fixing seat. The sleeve is configured to receive a cable therein. Two ends of the cable are connected to the first rotating member and the second rotating member, respectively.
Apparatus and method for upright drumming and exercising
Aerobic and strength training percussion apparatus incorporating a specially designed bass drum with internal striking mechanism which is activated by such actions, but not limited to, the user jumping, walking, running, bouncing, dancing, or leaning atop it while simultaneously striking a plurality of smaller drums, mounted vertically on a frame, with specially weighted mallets. Apparatus can be utilized individually or in groups, either as an exercise device or a dedicated percussion instrument. Additionally, the base of the apparatus can be utilized as a percussion instrument, a percussion toy, and, when a multitude are place adjacent to one another, as a musical floor.
Beat recording pen
A beat recording pen for the recording and editing music and while serving as writing instrument. The device includes a retractable writing instrument disposed in an elongated shaft designed to house a power supply designed to provide electrical power to a transceiver that can transmit and receive digital signals to and from a connected mobile device or computer. The beat recording pen further includes an impact sensor that can detect an audio input signal of an impact event and convert the audio input signal into a digital signal. A micro-controller is disposed within the pen and can record the converted audio input signals detected by the impact sensor and interface with a software application installed on a connected mobile device or computer.
VISITOR CENTER AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING MUSIC APPRECIATION
A music visitor center comprising an interactive string instrument exhibition comprising at least one resonance chamber and at least one string that may be mounted to the at least one resonance chamber and excited to vibrate and generate an amplified musical sound, an interactive percussion instrument exhibition comprising at least one drum shell and at least one drumhead that may be mounted to the at least one drum shell and excited to vibrate and generate an amplified percussive sound, an interactive wind instrument exhibition comprising at least one air tube and at least one mouthpiece having a reed that may be mounted to the at least one air tube and excited to vibrate and generate an amplified wind instrument sound, and a path along which the exhibitions are located that constrains a visitor moving along the path to encounter in order, the string, percussion and wind instrument exhibitions.
