Electronic Drum Pedal
US Patent:
7531733, May 12, 2009
Filed:
May 25, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/440022
Inventors:
Mark David Steele - New Smyrna Beach FL, US
International Classification:
G10D 13/02
US Classification:
844221, 84225
Abstract:
A foot pedal for electronic drums includes a lower tab or pedal or other extension for triggering by pressing down, and an upper tab or pedal or other extension for triggering by raising the foot. Also included is the joining of the upper and lower extensions (tab, pedal or other) into a pedal assembly that includes: a hinge or axle or other device which allows the pedal assembly to rotate in an arc; a striking device (stick, rod or other) that is attached to the pedal assembly and hits impact sensitive electronic drum triggering devices (pads, tubes or others); and an elastic device or spring which returns the pedal assembly to the neutral (at-rest) position.
Electronic Bass Drum
US Patent:
7525039, Apr 28, 2009
Filed:
Jul 3, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/824844
Inventors:
Mark David Steele - New Smyrna Beach FL, US
International Classification:
G10H 1/32, G10H 3/00
US Classification:
84746, 84743
Abstract:
An Electronic Bass Drum includes one or more loudspeakers, an internal amplifier system, an optional electronic drum module and control panel, an impact sensitive electronic kick pad, an attachment for a bass drum pedal, mounting hardware for tom toms or other acoustic or electronic instruments, legs for stabilization, one or more headset jacks for silent play, input jacks for other instruments and/or microphones, and an ipod™ cradle for playing along with music. All of which are enclosed in a cylindrical shell which cosmetically matches the dimensions and design characteristics of a conventional acoustic bass drum.
Electronic Drum Pedal
US Patent:
7435888, Oct 14, 2008
Filed:
Oct 30, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/928353
Inventors:
Mark David Steele - New Smyrna Beach FL, US
International Classification:
G10D 13/02
US Classification:
844221, 84426
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for triggering electronic drums having a pedal assembly and a striking assembly spaced therefrom. The pedal assembly includes a base, a first hub body rotatably connected thereto, and an extension extending outwardly from and coupled to the first hub body. The striking assembly includes a base, a second hub body rotatably connected thereto, and a striking device connected to and extending outwardly from the second hub body. The distal end of the striking device is disposed between first and second triggering devices. The first and second hub bodies are coupled together via a connecting rod, which transfers a rotational force therebetween. The striking device contacts the first triggering device when the extension is depressed, and contacts the second triggering device when the extension is raised.

Electronic High-Hat Circuitry System
US Patent:
8344235, Jan 1, 2013
Filed:
Nov 15, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/946385
Inventors:
Mark David Steele - New Smyrna Beach FL, US
International Classification:
G10H 1/00
US Classification:
84615, 84622, 84653, 84659, 844223
Abstract:
An electronic high-hat circuitry system allows the drummer to manually choose the sounds that an electronic high-hat makes when the drummer's foot is off of the pedal and the high-hat instrument is struck. When the pedal is at or near the top of its travel, a primary circuitry switch disables normal foot-controlled positioning circuitry and enables a secondary circuit that sends a selected positioning signal to a drum module. When the pedal is again pressed down, the primary circuitry switch returns control to the primary, pedal controlled circuit. An optional tertiary circuit allows for the choosing of a different sound when the secondary circuit is activated and the high-hat cymbal is tilted. A control panel is used by the drummer to select the desired high-hat sounds of the secondary and tertiary circuits. Also, high-hat instruments are introduced that have removable foot pedals, or no foot pedal.
Universal Drum Pedal Instrument Mounting Stand
US Patent:
8178769, May 15, 2012
Filed:
Jul 8, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/803839
Inventors:
Mark David Steele - New Smyrna Beach FL, US
International Classification:
G10D 13/02
US Classification:
84421
Abstract:
Described herein is a stand for mounting a variety of percussion instruments. These instruments are positioned in a way that allows them to be struck by a drum pedal. The stand has unique adjustment features that allow virtually any mountable percussion instrument to be utilized. The device itself can be mounted in several different ways; on the inside of a bass drum shell or as a free-standing unit. The device can be used as a mount for complete electronic drum pads, or to hold electronic sensors or muffling devices against drum heads.
Electric High-Hat Circuitry System

Appl. No.:
12/321243
Inventors:

When the pedal is at or near the top of its travel, a primary circuitry switch disables normal foot-controlled positioning circuitry and enables a secondary circuit that sends a manually selected positioning signal to a drum module. When the pedal is again pressed down, the primary circuitry switch returns control to the primary, pedal controlled circuit. An optional tertiary circuit allows for the choosing of a different sound when the secondary circuit is activated and the high-hat cymbal is tilted, and is used primarily for accent notes. A control panel is used by the drummer to select the desired high-hat sounds of the secondary and tertiary circuits.
