Pounder bar 310 is couple to pounder head 312, and pounder bar bracket 126 can be inserted in pounder bar 310 In.Nut 314 is attached to pounder bar bracket 126, and the height 326 on pounder head 312 is adjusted relative to bracket 120 Section.The rotation axis of pounder bar bracket 126 and cam 308 is positioned to have low rotation axis (herein also referred to as " fulcrum "), Typical rotation axis/fulcrum of this and the drum pedal for bass drum is slightly different.

Such as, but not limited to, the rotation axis of pounder bar bracket 126 can be apart from floor at about 0.5 inch to 6 inches Between, and/or apart from floor between about 0.5 inch to 4 inches, and/or apart from floor between about 1 inch to 3 inches, And/or apart from about 2 inches of floor, and/or apart from floor less than 4 inches, and/or apart from floor less than 3 inches (its can be with The identical plane in the bottom of system 100, and/or plane identical with the bottom surface of bracket 120 or be pounder part 106 Bottom plane), and the rotation axis of pounder bar bracket can be 7 inches apart from floor in bass drum pedal.Because of system 100 can be used together with different types of drum (for example, case drum), and there is this drum different positions to be generated with striking Desired sound, so the desired locations of the rotation axis of pounder bar bracket can be lower than floor, as shown in Fig. 3 and institute It states.However, rotation axis measurement still can be adjusted in system 100, such as by changing between main body 316 and bar 122 Height is attached.

In addition, in one aspect of the present disclosure, low fulcrum is also possible to the rotation axis of drive shaft 124, the hand with drummer Or the natural contact point of typical case of other pounders is compared, and is allowed and the different contact points on drum surface.For example, but without limitation, Pounder head 312 configured with system 100 can be arranged to the surface of the knock box drum at specified point, and the hand of drummer is being hit Beat the surface of knock box drum at the height above the contact point on device head 312.Therefore, pounder head 312 will not interfere drum The hand of hand, and therefore drummer can generate specific beat, sound and tone from case drum, and do not have to the specific drummer of change and use Specific preferred playing style.

Nut 314 can also adjust the attachment point between pounder bar bracket 126 and pounder bar 310, adjust height 326 and/or pounder head 312 relative to the position to striking face.By changing the distance between axis 302 and cam 308, The bigger arm of force is produced, that it changes pounder heads 312 relative to the relative velocity to striking face.In this way, institute as above State, for the pedal 108 with 312 striking face of pounder head amount of exercise can by change spring 306 on tension and/ Or the angle of the attachment point and/or pounder bar bracket 126 between pounder bar 310 and pounder bar bracket 126 customizes.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, Rotation Controllers 318 controls the angle that main body 316 is couple to bar 122.Pass through release Rotation Controllers 318 can be the screw thread coupling between main body 316 and bar 122, and entire pounder part 106 can be opposite Angle 320 is rotated in bracket 120.The controller allows pounder bar bracket 126 to rotate, and therefore allows pounder head 312 Relative to the surface rotation to be struck by pounder head 312.This Rotation Controllers is on pounder head 312 relative to drummer Hand or other pounders position striking face that may strike same surface position between additional gap or adjusting are provided. In addition, the minor change of the rotation of Rotation Controllers 318 can be mentioned by changing the position of 312 knock box of pounder head drum For the tuning of drum (such as case drum).It can unclamp and/or tighten Rotation Controllers 318 to fix pounder part 106 and specific Special angle between drum, and the different angle then relocated to fix between pounder part 106 and another drum, from And further expand the customizable features of the system 100 of the disclosure.Rotation Controllers 318 can also control pounder head 312 With to the distance between striking face because Rotation Controllers 318 can also move the tie point between main body 316 and bar 122. This movement between main body 316 (and therefore pounder head 312) can change 312 beating drum surface of pounder head Angle, to further change the tone of generation.

Such as, but not limited to, when the first position being placed on bar 122, when pounder bar 310 is in relative to floor When an angle of 90 degrees of measurement, pounder head 312 can be with the surface of beating drum.When release Rotation Controllers 318 and main body 316 is remote From drum when striking face is mobile, pounder head can be with angle (all angles as shown in Figure 3 more than 90 degree 322) striking face.Because coupling part 104 can be couple to pounder part 106 at or near arm 324 and (be couple to driving Another point of axis 124), the rotation of main body 316 and the movement of direction and/or separate bracket 120 can only minimally not Drummer is influenced to " feeling " of pedal 108, and/or can only minimally influence the percussion impact on pounder head 312 Tone quality, rather than what is selected when for given drum setting system 100 those of changes characteristic by specific drummer.
