Abstract
Percussion assemblies, such as mini hi-hat percussion assemblies, are disclosed. The mini hi-hat assemblies can include a first connecting portion between a pedal and a drive shaft. A roller can be included between the first connecting portion and an underside of the pedal. Non-flexible members and/or flexible members such as a chain can be included between the drive shaft and a cymbal rod. Actuation of the pedal can cause rotation of the drive shaft and downward movement of the cymbal rod, which can have a top cymbal mounted thereon. This downward movement can cause the top cymbal to contact a bottom cymbal and produce a desired sound. A compression spring can then cause the system to rebound toward its equilibrium or resting position.
