ABSTRACT:
An outrigger holder assembly for a plurality of percussion type musical instruments including at least one bass drum and one other percussion musical instrument such as a smaller drum or a cymbal, wherein a stable and multi-purpose holder includes an adjustable positioning means for the bass drum which is to be placed on a suitable supporting surface such as a floor and also includes a plurality of slidable and pivotally connected shafts, rods or extension, the lower of which also is supported on the floor. One or more smaller drums than the bass drum or a cymbal may be utilized with the upper extension. Numerous pivoted connections are provided to position parts of the assembly at various desired angles from each other and one adjustable assembly is provided for raising or lowering the height of the drums or cymbal. Preferably, the tightening of some of the pivoted and slidable members to prevent movement thereof after they are set to the desired position is accomplished by use of a single turning key, which is preferably also the drum head tensioning key. The larger drum is also adapted to be supported on the floor by standard supporting spurs, so that with the holder assembly completed, movement of the entire assembly including the larger drum relative to the floor is inhibited to a great degree.
