ABSTRACT:
A resonance eliminator for a drum head. The resonance eliminator includes a body having a first and second pivotally connected sections. A clamp is provided for detachably mounting the first section of the body on the rim of a drum. The resilient pad is attached to the second section of the body and engages the surface of the drum to eliminate resonance of the drum head caused by vibrations from the drum set itself or external sources. The second section is pivotal with respect to the first section to enable normal sounds to be exhibited by the drum head during play of the drum. Counterweight means are provided in one embodiment to insure that the second section of the body remains in a predetermined positional relationship with respect to the first section of the body. The latter embodiment is suitable for use on the bottom drum head.
