Drum mount providing isolated resonance

摘要

Some embodiments provide drum mounts for mounting a drum to supporting bracket arms, stands, or racks in a manner that does not impede drum shell resonance and that shields the drum mount and structure upon which the drum is mounted from absorbing the drum's vibrational energy during play. The drum mount is comprised of an inner mount plate, outer mount bar, and coupling assemblies. Each of the inner mount plate and outer mount bar couple to a drum shell or tension ring using the coupling assemblies. The coupling assemblies also couple the inner mount plate to the outer mount bar. The coupling assemblies include dampeners and endcaps with protrusions for minimizing surface area contact points from which energy can be transferred to the drum mount.

主权项

1. A drum mount for mounting a drum to any of a supporting bracket, stand, or rack, the drum mount comprising:
a curved outer mount bar with a plurality of openings and an offset section; a curved inner mount plate fitting within the offset section of the curved outer mount bar, the inner mount plate comprising a plurality of openings; and a plurality of coupling assemblies providing isolated and dampened coupling of the inner mount plate to a drum hoop and further providing isolated and dampened coupling of the outer mount bar offset section to the inner mount plate.
