Embodiment Construction

[0046] The embodiments presented herein illustrate various reinforced drum mounts that do not impede the resonance of the drum shell, yet provide cushioning to isolate the drum mount hardware from the drum sound producing elements during performance, and provide through-drum energy transfer. By having the drum mount not obstruct the resonance of the drum shell, the drum produces a richer and fuller sound. Furthermore, by isolating the drum mount hardware from the sound producing eardrum and shell, undesired sound or distortion from the drum mount is eliminated or minimized.

[0047] Embodiments of the drum mount utilize different structural features to achieve stage isolation and vibration dampening therein. First, embodiments integrate the bumpers directly into the drum coupling assembly hardware used to couple some embodiments' reinforced drum mounts to the drum, and also into the drum coupling assembly hardware used to couple some embodiments' reinforced drum mounts to Dr...

Abstract

Some embodiments provide a drum mount for mounting the drum to a support stand arm, base or bracket in a manner that does not impede drum shell resonance and shields the drum mount and structure (on which the drum is mounted) such that it No vibrational energy from the drum is absorbed during playing. Drum mounting components include internal mounting plates, external mounting strips, and coupling components. The inner mounting plate and outer mounting strip are each coupled to the drum shell or tab using a coupling assembly. The coupling assembly also couples the interior mounting plate to the exterior mounting strip. The coupling assembly includes a bumper and an end cap with a protrusion to minimize contact points through which energy can be transferred to the drum mount.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to musical instruments, and more particularly to drum mounts. Background technique [0002] A drum is a musical instrument that produces sound through the resonance of the drum shell. The energy transferred from the eardrum to the drum shell during performance creates this resonance and drum sound. In traditional drum designs, drum hoops, struts, and strut retainers couple the eardrum to the drum shell, thereby allowing energy to be transferred from the eardrum to the drum shell. [0003] Existing drum construction compromises or degrades drum sound quality by blocking drum shell resonance. Many factors contribute to this compromised or degraded sound. Some structures locate or attach the strut holder directly to the drum shell, thereby preventing the drum shell from resonating. Some constructions avoid direct impact on the drum shell by coupling the drum hoop at the top and bottom ends of the drum shell, but this causes some...
