Snare drum modulator

摘要

A device for adjusting the tension of snares which are disposed diametrically across the outer face of a drum head includes a support bracket for securing the device to the exterior surface of a drum shell, an operating handle pivotally connected to the support bracket comprising a lever and an extension arm for movement relative to the drum shell, and tensioning means comprising a biased roller assembly connecting the operating handle to the drum shell and to the snares whereby the tension of the snares and their position relative to the drum head can be changed by movement of the operating handle so that the frequency of vibration or pitch at the drum head and, therefore, the sound of the drum can be controlled while the drum is being played.
