ABSTRACT:
A musical instrument having two drum heads of different size and tone quality, with a plurality of tension straps used to vary the drum pitch of one or both of the drum heads during its operation. The instrument is supported on a specially adapted stand with mechanical constricting means which allows the operator to constrict the drum tension straps by means of a foot pedal leaving the operator's hands free to play the two drum heads. The tension straps are connected to a floating suspension ring which allows the drum operator to easily and quickly remove a damaged drum head should the drum head become defective during its operation, without the necessity of removing any of the drum tension straps. The musical instrument may also be used by an operator separate from the drum stand, by means of a shoulder strap. The use of a shoulder strap allows the drum operator to be ambulatory during the drums operation. The operator can play the musical instrument either separately or together and vary their pitch by constricting the drum tension straps by use of the operator's arm pressure instead of the mechanical means provided on the specially adapted drum stand.
