ABSTRACT:
A device for deadening drumheads, to reduce the ringing phenomenon associated principally with synthetic membranes, in which a plurality of bodies of porous, pliable material are disposed around the preferred attack area of the drum membrane. Each of the bodies has an adhesive layer on one surface, and the adhesive layer is used to attach the body to a drumhead membrane. When the device is secured to the membrane, the bodies do not interfere substantially with the initial vibrations induced when the drum membrane is struck by the drummer; however, the bodies absorb the reflected vibrations which return toward the center of the drum and cause the ringing phenomenon. The bodies may be circular, square, rectangular, or of other shapes, and may be in a variety of colors.
