A drumhead tuning rim system and method for securing and tuning a drumhead on a drum shell of a drum, comprising a drumhead tuning rim apparatus comprising a cable tension dial assembly configured for operably engaging a rim of the drum so as to increase or decrease tension on the rim, the rim being configured for seating over the drumhead on the drum shell, and an apparatus controller configured for operably interfacing with the drumhead tuning rim apparatus so as to selectively control the cable tension dial assembly and thereby adjust the overall pitch of the drumhead as by adjusting the tension on the rim.

Drum hardware tools are described. Some implementations may include a tension rod hardware tool designed for assembling/installing/setting up and/or disassembling/uninstalling tension rods. Some implementations may include a drum wing nut hardware tool designed for assembling/installing/setting up and/or disassembling/uninstalling drum hardware wing nuts.

A drum dampening device includes a base positionable adjacent the drum wires on the drum and an elongate, rigid bar operatively coupled to the base. An actuator is operatively coupled to the elongate, rigid bar and selectively transitional relative to the base between a first position and a second position. The transition of the actuator from the first position toward the second position causes at least a portion of the elongate, rigid bar to move away from the base and into contact with at least one of the drum wires, and the transition of the actuator from the second position toward the first position causes at least a portion of the elongate, rigid bar to move toward the base out of contact with the at least one of the drum wires.

An electronic percussion instrument capable of simulating a rendition of an acoustic percussion instrument is provided. The electronic percussion instrument includes a housing, a percussion surface attached to the housing, a pressure sensor disposed on a central section of the percussion surface on a side of the back surface and configured to detect pressing against the central section, a head vibration sensor disposed on a peripheral section of the percussion surface on the side of the back surface and configured to detect vibrations of the peripheral section, and a rim vibration sensor disposed at a position overlapping the head vibration sensor when seen in a plan view of the percussion surface and configured to detect vibrations of the housing.

The present invention provides a drum snare including a fixed seat, an actuation column, an actuation handle, a pull-down seat, an adjustment bolt, and a packing assembly. The actuation handle passes through a lateral hole to connect and fix to the actuation column. The lateral hole includes two snap-in slots pressing against the actuation handle. The pull-down seat includes a clamping seat and a non-circular rod body passing through the fixed seat in a non-rotation manner. The non-circular rod body includes an internal thread hole. The adjustment bolt is rotatably fixed on the actuation column. The adjustment bolt includes a thread section penetrating in the internal thread hole. The packing assembly is provided between the adjustment bolt and the actuation column. Therefore, a friction force between the adjustment bolt and the actuation column is increased through the packing assembly, and looseness of the adjustment bolt can be avoided.

Particular embodiments described herein provide for a cocktail drum basket. The cocktail drum basket can include a lower cocktail basket portion, where the lower cocktail basket portion is supported by a rim of a first drum and an upper cocktail basket portion, where the upper cocktail basket portion supports a second drum over the first drum. The cocktail drum basket can be used to position a second drum over a first drum in a three-dimensional (3D) plane using the cocktail drum basket to position the second drum along an X-axis, a Y-axis, and a Z-axis relative to the first drum.
