发明名称 Drum slip
摘要 An interchangeable drum slip that may be quickly installed to change the appearance of a drum and to provide protection to the drum shell. The drum slip is a rectangular piece of material that is pre-cut to precisely fit specific models of drums. Openings are cut into the material that correspond with hardware that is attached to the drum shell. A user installs the drum slip by placing the drum slip around the drum shell and securing the ends of the drum slip together. The openings in the drum slip fit over and around any hardware that is attached to the drum shell and any apertures formed in the drum shell. The ends of the drum slip are pulled together and secured with an adhesive. For some drums, the drum slip may be installed without disassembling any parts of the drum. For other drums, one or more drum heads and retaining hoops must be removed to install the drum slip. The drum slip may be transparent, and the drum slip may be made in any color and messages, designs, or information may be printed on or molded into the drum slip. Anyone can quickly and easily change drum slips to change the appearance of a drum.

主权项 1. A method for changing the appearance of a drum shell comprising the steps of: removing one or more drum heads and one or more retaining hoops; applying a piece of flexible material having pre-cut openings and having two or more ends onto the drum shell surface allowing any circumferentially spaced hardware attached to the drum shell to protrude through said pre-cut openings in the flexible material; and; attaching one end of the flexible material to another end of the flexible material, so the material is tightly secured to the drum shell; and reattaching the one or more drum heads and the one or more retaining hoops.
