Abstract:
The present invention generally consists of a mechanical device which is placed inside an acoustic musical drum to produce “reverb”, a desired musical effect when the drum is struck on the drum head or rim. A combination of the reverberation springs' mechanical contact with the drum when struck and the resulting pulse of air generated by the strike causes the springs to vibrate, thus causing a reverb effect when the drum is struck in any manner or location.

Claim (Index 16):
The device of  claims 1 - 15  wherein the drum contains an internal tone control muffler which is mounted inside the drum in a way that allows its position to be adjusted from the exterior of the drum. The muffler has a felt pad, which can be positioned to be in contact with or free from the reverberation device springs. When the said muffler is moved into contact with the reverberation device springs, it can exert pressure with felt pad against the springs of the reverberation device in order to reduce or eliminate the reverberation function.
