Abstract
Drum pedal systems are disclosed which can include separate pedal and beater portions connected by a connecting portion. The connecting portion can be flexible such that the location of the beater portion can be adjusted relative to the location of the pedal portion. The pedal and beater portions can be disconnected from one another for improved transportability. The pedal portion may include a roller beneath the pedal so as to increase the smoothness of play. The angle of the beater can be laterally adjusted, thus causing the contact point on a drum to be lower or higher as desired. The beater portion can include a beater axis that is relatively low to the ground, which can aid in preventing a user's hands and the beater striking a percussion instrument at the same height.
