ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (32) for modifying the percussive sound emanating from a drum (10) includes a hollow skirt (34) having a first end (36) and a second end (38) that define openings (40) and (42) that are in opposition and communication with each other. The skirt (34) is generally configured to be conical or quasi-conical in shape, the first end (36) forming the base of the conical shape and the second end (38) forming the vertex. The opening (42) is large enough for a stand (24) upon which the drum (10) is mounted to pass through. The material or materials selected for the skirt (34) depends upon the desired tonal results of the apparatus.
