Drum Pedal Systems
Drum Pedal Systems A user-adjustable drum pedal having foot-pedal geometries corresponding to the biomechanical requirements of a user. Preferred embodiments of the system utilize an adjustable foot pedal in combination with a laterally movable drum beater drive assembly functioning to maintain proper mechanical geometries within the operating apparatus. The angular position of the foot pedal is selectable by the user.

Plectrum Receptacle Systems
Plectrum Receptacle Systems This invention relates to providing a plectrum holder device that may be easily attached to a guitar at the desired location of the guitar player. More particularly, this invention relates to providing a system for retaining multiple plectrums close to the surface of a guitar, in a low profile configuration, in a convenient location for easy access by the guitar player. Also, a guitar comprising the plectrum holder may still fit in its guitar case due to the low profile of the plectrum holder. Further, the plectrum holder holds picks of a variety of shapes and sizes.
