Pedal-Controlled Drumstick Device ˜ The Leopold Drumstick

摘要

This musical instrument assembly enables the user to control a percussive mallet with a foot-pedal. It operates by a cable threaded around the circumference of a wheel with attached mallet, the other cable end connects to the pedal. Cable housing and mounted fixtures at the entrance and exit of this housing provide a fixed path for the cable to move back and forth. Springs return the invention to its original position upon pedal's release. Flexible housing enables remote capability, equal function without requiring particular angle or distance between the pedal and beater assemblies. Mounting the mallet off either side of the wheel results in either downward or upward motion.
