ABSTRACT:
A connection between a pivotable pedal plate of a foot pedal for operating a drum, cymbal, or the like instrument and a relatively stationary heel plate. The pivot connection includes an axle that extends through flanges projecting rearwardly from the pedal plate and through a projection forwardly of the heel plate that extends into the recess between the flanges of the pedal plate. Screws hold the axle firmly to either the pedal plate or the heel plate and bearings in the other of the heel plate and the pedal plate receive the axle and permit relative motion between the other plate and the axle without any gap between the axle and either of the plates as would be usual in the prior art.
