Abstract:
A idiophone assembly for attachment to a rim or side of a drum comprising a idiophone, one or more quick release drum rim clamps and one or more fasteners and, as applicable, associated bosses for securing the clamps to the instrument is described. Advantageously, the assembly can be easily secured to the rim of a drum and easily removed from the drum as desired. In some variations, rubber insulating spacers are provided that at least partially acoustically isolate the instrument from the drum. The assembly is often positioned where it can be struck independently or in unison with the drum head to produce a rimshot or cross stick. A flexible drum stick is also described having two striking ends and a movable handle.

Claim (Index 17):
A drumstick comprising:\n a polymeric tubular shaft, the shaft having opposing first and second shaft ends, a shaft length, a shaft outside diameter and a shaft inside diameter, the shaft outside diameter being generally the same along the shaft length; a tubular handle, the tubular handle having a handle length and a handle inside diameter, the handle inside diameter being similar to the shaft outside diameter, the handle length being less than half the shaft length; and at least one striking tip, the at least one striking tip with a striking tip portion being received in tubular shaft at one or both first and second shaft ends, the striking tip being comprised of a different material than a material comprising the tubular shaft.
