ABSTRACT:
Various holders are provided to retain a tom-tom drum of the musical type in a playable position on a horizontally oriented surface, such as a floor. A percussion contact surface of the tom-tom drum must be perpendicular, or nearly perpendicular, to the horizontally oriented surface in order to be playable using holders of the instant invention. Various examples are given of transportable units which have a transportable orientation and a deployed orientation. Passive contact with the drum where gravitational retention occurs is explained as is active contact where structural attachment occurs. Adjustment means is provided to allow a specific holder to be employed with tom-tom drums of various diametric dimensions as well as with tom-tom drums having various spacing of the respective tension members.
