Abstract:
1. A drum pedal assembly for effecting rapid, multiple drumbeats from an electronic drum, comprising: a base plate; a foot pedal pivotally connected to the base plate, said foot pedal having a top surface and a bottom surface; a first striker extending below lower surface of the foot pedal; a second striker extending above the upper surface of the foot pedal; a first striking surface below the first striker; a second striking surface above the second striker; a first transducer for converting an impact induced vibration into an electrical output signal operatively associated with the first striking surface and operatively connected to the electronic drum and a second transducer for converting an impact induced vibration into an electrical output signal operatively associated with the second striking surface and operatively connected to the electronic drum, each said transducer, wherein depression of the foot pedal by a user causes the first striker to contact the first striking surface to generate an electrical output signal to the drum and release of the foot pedal allows the second striker to contact the second striking surface to generate an electrical output signal to the drum.
