[0007] In further embodiments, the bottom of the foot pedal is connected with a horizontal plate, the upper ends of two horizontal plates are commonly connected with a cylinder, the cylinder is located in the hollow bottom of the drum stand, two supports are fixed in the hollow bottom and are distributed on the two sides of the cylinder, the cylinder is provided with clamping grooves at equal intervals from top to bottom, the supports are provided with clamping blocks, and the clamping blocks are movably connected with the clamping grooves.

[0008] In further embodiments, the clamping grooves are circular ring structure, the outer part of the cylinder is further provided with two symmetrical communication grooves, and the communication grooves communicate all the clamping grooves.

[0009] In further embodiments, the drum face is fixed on the drum stand.

[0010] In further embodiments, the outer part of the drum stand is provided with a decorative layer.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the drum stand of the utility model has the advantages of

[0012] The bottom of the African drum is additionally provided with a foot pedal, which can be stepped on by two feet when the drum body is vertically placed for playing, and the contact area with the ground can be increased when the drum body is placed obliquely to ensure the stability of the whole drum body during playing.
