ABSTRACT:
A novel percussion instrument that may be adjusted to selectively provide well-known cymbal tones and snare drum tones, as well as many other tones which may be a combination or variation of cymbal and snare drum tones. The instrument comprises a tubular casing of rigid material, such as thin metal or plastic, having one end supported on a base and its opposite end open. A thin metal diaphragm overlies the open end of the casing with its peripheral portion in overhanging relation. Means are provided to support the diaphragm intermediate its peripheral portion, and further means are provided to hold the diaphragm against the rim of the casing to provide snare drum tones, or to hold the diaphragm spaced from the rim casing to provide cymbal tones.
