ABSTRACT:
This invention is a new percussion instrument that is used for striking other percussion instruments. It consists of a handle and a fan like set of fingers attached to one end of a traverse control rod. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the fan like set of fingers are made of metal and have protrusions on them and can have tips to make a more brilliant sound. The fan like set of fingers can be varied from a single finger to a planar or fan like spread. By varying the fan like spread of the fingers, one changes the sound of the brushes striking the percussion instrument. The fan like spread is locked into place so that the spread does not change while the individual is playing the drums. This single percussion instrument produces increases in both the swish sound and the striking sound. Balanced, it plays like a drumstick opening a totally new and broad range of percussive colors, textures and tonalities.
