ABSTRACT:
A foot-operable striking apparatus for actuating a beater to strike a percussion instrument. The apparatus includes a pivotally mounted pedal having a toe-retaining clip overlying its toe portion. The pedal is pivotally mounted at its heel portion, so that it can be moved upwardly and downwardly by an ankle-flexing motion of the operator's foot. Linkage means are provided which will move a beater used with the apparatus into striking position when the pedal is elevated or depressed. The linkage means are arranged to provide a natural feel so the apparatus can be readily operated to produce a series of beats of equal amplitude, and so the apparatus can be operated at a high speed.
