ABSTRACT:
A musical percussion instrument foot pedal uses a pair of high gauss rated magnets, one under the foot pedal and one on the base below the foot pedal the magnets aligned for magnetic repulsion. The magnetic repulsion between the magnets return the pedal to its original position after having been depressed. An inclined magnet support on the base may allow stacking magnets, raising and lowering the height of the base magnet, or sliding the base magnet into greater and lesser alignment with the pedal magnet.
