ABSTRACT:
A bass drum pedal assembly consisting of a floor engaging support base adapted for selective operative engagement to an adjacent drum beater assembly. A cradle pedal support frame is pivotally mounted on the support base in substantially movable register with and above thereof. The pedal support frame is adapted at the forward free end thereof to operatively engage an actuator strap of an adjacent drum beater assembly. A foot engaging flexible cradle pedal assembly is transversely freely swivellably mounted on the cradle pedal support frame so as to selectively engage the ball of a drummer's foot in self-adjusting contact therewith. The flexible cradle pedal assembly is selectively longitudinally and vertically adjustable when mounted in its operative use position on the cradle pedal support frame. The cradle support frame is adapted to selectively actuate a drum beater assembly when connected to the actuator strap thereof in response to foot pressure selectively exerted upon the flexible cradle pedal assembly.
