Patent ID: 7435888

Claim:
An apparatus for triggering electronic drums, comprising: a pedal assembly base; a first hub body rotatably connected to said pedal assembly base; a first extension extending outwardly from and coupled to said first hub body, wherein said first hub body rotates in a first direction when said first extension is depressed, and said first hub body rotates in an opposite second direction when said first extension is raised; a striking assembly base spaced from said pedal base; a second hub body rotatably connected to said striking assembly base; a connecting rod having a first end coupled to said first hub body and an opposite second end coupled to said second hub body, said connecting rod transferring a rotational force to said second hub body when said first hub body rotates; a first impact sensitive electronic triggering device; a second impact sensitive electronic triggering device; a striking device having a first end connected to said second hub body and a distal second end extending outwardly therefrom and disposed between said first and second triggering devices, said striking device contacting said first triggering device when said first extension is depressed, and said striking device contacting said second triggering device when said first extension is raised; a third hub body rotatably disposed adjacent said second hub body, said second and third hub bodies independently rotatable; a second extension connected to said third hub body, wherein said third hub body rotates in a first direction when said second extension is depressed, and said third hub body rotates in an opposite second direction when said second extension is raised; a second striking device having a first end connected to said third hub body and a distal second end extending outwardly therefrom and disposed between said first and second triggering devices, said second striking device contacting said first triggering device when said second extension is depressed, and said second striking device contacting said second triggering device when said second extension is raised.
