Abstract
An accessory for a drum pedal assembly is disclosed which adjusts the distribution of weight acting on the rotatory element whereby the balance point of the stroke of the beater element as well as rotational forces influencing the character of the beater stroke may be altered. The means for adjustment comprise a cylindrical weight with a rod extending axially which is rotatively carried by a beater stem mount to which it is adjustably secured. By adjusting the extention and orientation of the cylindrical weight, the attack, response and swing of the beater is affected thereby overcoming inherent problems found in the prior art.
