ABSTRACT:
An improved bass drum pedal that is power assisted for the playing performance on the bass drum of a drum set. The fundamental construction mounts a motor driven wheel (1) to a prior art, manual bass drum foot pedal (12). In response to operation of the foot pedal (12) by the player, player effort is assisted with action generated from the motor driven wheel (1). Wheel (1) acts as a lever action mechanism and rotating coupling from motor (6) to pedal (12). When played a differential lever action force to affect and assist the player's effort is generated across the diameter of wheel (1). Wheel (1) is driven with belt (8) along the base tangent point of wheel (1). At the opposite diameter of the wheel (1) is a drag or friction belt (9). Belt (9) is along the crest tangent point of the wheel (1). A differential force between belt 8 and belt 9 is created across wheel (1) diameter when the pedal is played. Interaction of the two forces create lever action effect across wheel (1) diameter to effect and assist the player's effort to play the pedal, providing smooth continuous power assisted action to the player's performance on the drums.
