Drum Lug Holders Providing Isolated Resonance

摘要

Some embodiments provide a drum structural framework comprising a top shell mount, bottom shell mount, rod holders, and tension rods. The top shell mount and bottom shell mount are mounted to either ending edge of a drum shell disposed between the two mounts. A first set of the rod holders are coupled to the top shell mount and an aligned second set of the rod holders are coupled to the bottom shell mount. The tension rods link the two sets of rod holders without hindering resonance of the drum shell. Tuning assemblies on the rod holders adjust the distance separating the top shell mount from the bottom shell mount, thereby controlling the force imposed on the drum shell. Each rod holder includes one or more dampeners that isolate energy passing from the drumhead to the shell from also reverberating throughout the structural framework of the tension rods and rod holders.

主权项

1. A energy dampening lug holder for a drum, the lug holder comprising:
an anchor comprising a body with a threaded vertical cavity and a first threaded horizontal cavity vertically separated from a second threaded horizontal cavity about a common side of the anchor; a first bolt with exterior threading coupling said anchor to a first drum structure by passing through an aperture of the first drum structure and screwing into the threaded vertical cavity; and first and second sets of mounting hardware coupling the anchor to a different second drum structure, each of the first and second sets of mounting hardware comprising a pair of energy dampeners and a second bolt with exterior threading securing the pair of dampeners against opposing sides of the second drum structure by screwing into one of the first threaded horizontal cavity and the second threaded horizontal cavity.
