ABSTRACT:
A double action pedal-activated beater assembly is provided for a percussion instrument. The beater mechanism provides multiple beats of the percussion instrument for each completed cycle of a foot operated pedal. One beat is provided by rotational movement of the rotatable beater assembly through a linkage between the beater assembly and one end of the foot operated pedal. Another beat is provided by the interaction of a cam surface located on the foot operated pedal with a cam contacting surface on the rotatable beater assembly. This construction provides a durable and simple beater mechanism which yields two beater strokes per cycle of a foot pedal, each at any desired power level.
