ABSTRACT:
The disclosure concerns apparatus for maintaining continuous tension on the snare bed of a snare drum and for moving the snare bed toward and away from the drum head surface while the snare bed remains tensioned and while the orientation of the snare bed strands remains generally parallel to the drum head surface. The snare bed is held under tension by band presses at opposite sides of the drum shell. Pivoting links at both sides of the drum shell are normally spring biased against the tension of the band presses to move the snare bed away from the drum head surface. Upon a release in the tension of the tensioning means, the spring biased levers, pivot to move the snare bed away from the drum head. Upon an increase in tension of the tensioning means, the biasing force on the links is overcome and the snare bed moves back to the drum head surface.
