ABSTRACT:
A drum damper for reducing drum overtones comprises a soft cushion (11) attached to a dense foam body (10). Anchors (16) attached to the inside of a drum by existing screws (23) allow a fastening strap (15) to hold the foam body, which has a sloped rear portion (12), securely inside the drum. The body urges the cushion in compression against the drum heat (22). The strap can be adjusted to control the amount of force it exerts against the sloped rear portion so as to control the force the body exerts against the cushion, and hence the cushion against the drum head. The tighter the cushion is compressed against the drum head, the greater the overtone reduction.
