Patent ID: 7115805

Claim:
An apparatus for playing multiple percussion instruments by foot comprising: a multiplicity of percussion instrument manipulation devices, a horizontally-disposed rigid sheet base member incorporating a multiplicity of motion transfer systems, at least two of said systems respectively corresponding with at least two of said percussion instrument manipulation devices, each of said two systems comprising: a master rotor and a slave rotor, each rotor pivotally attached to said base member on a substantially horizontal rotational axis, and each rotor including a drive contact point and a line contact point, a line including a master end and a slave end, each end anchored to its corresponding rotor and extending substantially horizontally away from its corresponding rotor's line contact point, whereby master rotor rotation resulting from downward force applied to said master rotor drive contact point results in horizontal movement of said line, rotation of said slave rotor and upward movement of said slave rotor drive contact point, and said corresponding percussion instrument manipulation device is driven by said upward movement of said slave rotor drive contact point.
