ABSTRACT:
Two pedal assemblies, for drum and cymbals, mounted together or usable separately.
Both pedals use tension cable in a triangular drive coupling, have an invertible treadle, symmetrical frame and drive parts, non-slip base, portable modular construction, treadle detent, heel stop and footrest, and provide for adjustment of treadle angle and escapement means, and also provide inherent escapement by suspension.
The drum pedal assembly facilitates supplementary escapements, provides a drum stand and adjustment means for mechanical advantage, effective beater length and angle, and uses static axle and single beater cantalever bearing portion with centering and lubrication spacers, and perforated strap beater clamp.
The cymbals pedal assembly facilitates supplementary escapement, includes means to operate more than one pair of cymbals without support obstruction and function upwardly or downwardly to close the cymbal pairs together, provides adjustment means for cymbal height, spacing, and tilt, and uses roller-drive, locking movable cymbal clamp, adjustable stationary cymbal clamps and stops, drive rod detent, drive rod guide, drive rod with tab catches, triangular drive guide, and perforated strap drive guide clamp.
