<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for damping resonating sounds generated from a beaten drum head membrane. <P>SOLUTION: In combination with a musical drum with a hollow shell having at least one opening and a drumhead 30 with a tensioned membrane 34 with a top head 42 covering the opening, an annular fixture 44 is mounted on the top head. The fixture 44 has an outer concentric edge adjacent to a flange member having an inner surface facing the top head, an inner concentric edge spaced apart from the top head and an area adjacent to the inner concentric edge which defines an annular groove with the drum head for receiving a damping member in a relation fixed to and held by the annular fixture. The annular fixture, including the damping member, is mounted to the top head by a series of incrementally spaced-apart non-adhesive means or non-adhesive means disposed in a continuous array provided for attaching the flange member to the top head. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
