Dual Action Pedal Device
20170358282 · 2017-12-14 ·

A dual action pedal device utilizing the forward section of a musical bass drum pedal foot board to strike a musical bass drum and an attached heel controlled piston to open/close musical hi-hat cymbals. By pressing in a downward motion the heel of a human foot closes musical hi-hat cymbals under spring pressure. Upon raising a human foots heel from the aforementioned piston the hi-hat cymbals open under spring pressure thus making this device a dual action pedal.

FOOT PEDAL APPARATUS FOR DRUM
20170278491 · 2017-09-28 ·

A drum foot pedal apparatus includes: a coil spring imparting resilient self-returning force to a foot board; a rod member (or an adjusting bolt) supported by a support section provided on a support post member; and a tension adjustment mechanism provided between the coil spring and the rod member. The tension adjustment mechanism includes a connection position adjustment section that interconnects the lower end of the coil spring and the rod member above the support post member, and that is constructed to permit adjustment of a connection position between the lower end of the coil spring and the rod member or the adjusting bolt at a position above the support section. Thus, it is possible to effectively prevent frictional wear of component parts and generation of noise and achieve an enhanced operability in the tension adjustment, with a simple construction having a minimized number of component parts.

Kick drum pedal
11244664 · 2022-02-08 ·

A kick drum pedal assembly includes a footboard, a beater, and a travel limiter. The beater is connected to the footboard and is configured to rotate in response to depressing the footboard. The travel limiter is configured to limit rotation of the beater. The travel limiter has an arm connected to the drum beater and a stop connected to the footboard. The arm and drum beater are confined to rotate in unison. The arm is configured to engage the stop to limit rotation of the beater to a desired forward position in response depressing the footboard.
