ABSTRACT:
Alternating Cymbals utilize two pairs or sets of cymbals, a first pair and a second pair of cymbals, which play alternately with a single actuation usually by a foot pedal. Both sets of cymbals are supported by a support means which includes a tripod, column with a bracket extending from the column. The first pair of cymbals are mounted at the upper end of the column. A shaft in the column pulls the top cymbal of the first pair of cymbals down against the bottom cymbal of the first pair of cymbals. The second pair of cymbals are mounted on the bracket. A rod is connected to the shaft and the bottom cymbal of the second set of cymbals which is mounted on the rod strikes the top cymbal of the second pair of cymbals when the foot pedal is released. A spring about the shaft moves the shaft and rod upwardly when the foot pedal is released.
