ABSTRACT:
Cymbal drum (10) includes a drum (12) having a plurality of openings (22) for receiving portions of a pair of cymbals (24) of cymbal assemblies (14), which cymbals (24) are adapted to clash together in response to the beating of the drum (12). The cymbals (24) are slidably mounted on a spindle (26) and separated by a compression spring (52). The level of the force used to beat the drum which is required to cause the cymbals to clash together may be selectively altered by varying the engagement of wing nut (48) with spindle (26). The nominal relative face-to-face alignment of the cymbals (24) may be selectively changed and the nominal relative tilting orientation of the two cymbals (24) may be selectively altered to vary the tones produced by the cymbal drum (10) of the present invention.
