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.

Cymbal mounting systems, devices, components, accessories and related methods are provided. The mounting systems mount a cymbal on a mounting post. The systems include a cymbal mount comprising a sleeve portion elongated along a length configured to extend through a mounting aperture of the cymbal, and comprising a top portion, a bottom portion, and an inner cavity extending from the bottom end along at least a portion of the length configured to mount on the mounting post of the cymbal stand. An outer surface of the sleeve portion varies in maximum cross-sectional size along the length thereof. The systems also include at least one resilient support ring comprising an inner through hole of a cross-sectional size that is smaller than at least a portion of that of the outer surface of the sleeve portion such that the support ring applies a compressive force thereto when mounted thereon.

A percussion instrument stand includes an instrument support structure that supports the percussion instrument; a main body that supports the instrument support structure on a support base resting on a surface. The instrument support stand also includes a dampening system that absorbs impact energy transferred to the stand by a user playing the instrument via displacement off of an equilibrium orientation. The dampening system also provides a restoring force that returns the dampening system to the equilibrium orientation.

An adjustable drum mount composed of a fixed component and at least one mounting component, wherein the relative position of the mounting component with respect to the fixed component is adjustable. The fixed component is durably attached to the drum shell with fasteners. The fixed component has a planar, extending member, which connects with the mounting component(s). The planar, extending member has one end, attached continuously to the bulk of the fixed component, called the fixed end. The planar, extending member has another end, disposed distal to the fixed end, called the free end, which can vibrate. The mounting components can be mounted substantially anywhere between the fixed end and the free end. The adjustment changes the stiffness with which the drum mount connects the drum leg or support to the drum.

Provided is a stand for a musical instrument, the stand including a pole in the shape of a stick extending in one direction, and a plurality of legs extending from the pole and arranged in a circumferential direction of the pole. At least one of the plurality of legs is a rotatable leg attached to the pole so as to be capable of rotating about a central axis of the pole. At least one of the plurality of legs is an offset leg held by the pole such that a longitudinal axis of the offset leg is apart from the central axis of the pole without crossing the central axis when viewed in an axial direction of the pole.

A drum cart for supporting and transporting a drum set between locations. The drum cart includes support arms, a handle, wheels and a support bracket adapted to releasably couple a bass drum to the drum cart and place the bass drum into a performance position by lying the drum cart on the ground horizontally.

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.

A percussion system comprising a pedal and an inserting/retracting mechanism operably connected to a percussion instrument and the pedal from moving the percussion instrument horizontally from a first position to a second position and from the second position to the first position by operation of the pedal.

Percussion accessories for reversible and interchangeable attachment to the head of a drum tension rod are disclosed.

Provided is a stand for a musical instrument, the stand including a pole in the shape of a stick extending in one direction, and a plurality of legs extending from the pole and arranged in a circumferential direction of the pole. At least one of the plurality of legs is a rotatable leg attached to the pole so as to be capable of rotating about a central axis of the pole. At least one of the plurality of legs is an offset leg held by the pole such that a longitudinal axis of the offset leg is apart from the central axis of the pole without crossing the central axis when viewed in an axial direction of the pole.
