ABSTRACT:
A carrier worn by a person to support a percussion instrument includes an abdominal plate having a load transferring surface swept with a curvature to extend along a part of the waist-line of such a person. A unitary frame is formed with a front portion continued by an elevating side portion to an upstanding rear portion. The front portion is rigidly joined to the abdominal plate and a back pressure plate is pivotally supported by a clevis assembly on the upstanding rear portion for imparting to the thoracic back region of the person some of the weight of a percussion instrument. Some of the forces are also imparted to the shoulders of a person by shoulder bars pivotally connected by clevis assemblies to the back pressure plate.
