ABSTRACT:
A rocking footpedal mechanism for driving a tambourine or similar percussion instrument in fore-and-aft oscillation about a pivotal arrangement below the tambourine, the pivotal arrangement and the tambourine-holding shank are so located at one end of the footpedal as to cause the tambourine to strike the leg above a musician's foot operating the footpedal, simulating conventional hand-striking of the tambourine, while leaving the musician's hands free; double action provides positive control of both half-cycles of tambourine oscillation and the pivotal arrangement is preferably spring mounted to provide secondary oscillations when desired.
