Abstract
A spur and stabilizer assembly for a bass drum. The assembly comprises a pair of tubular stabilizer elements with their upper ends mounted substantially adjacent each other to the inside surface of the bass drum shell. The tubular stabilizer elements extend downwardly, laterally and forwardly with respect to and within the bass drum shell. A pair of spur brackets are affixed to the outside of the shell and have portions extending through perforations in the shell. The lower end of each of the tubular stabilizer elements is operatively and adjustably connected to the adjacent one of the spur brackets. A pair of spurs is provided. Each of the spur brackets has a bore therethrough, coaxial with its respective tubular stabilizer element. Each spur is telescopically received in one of the spur bracket bores and the connected one of the tubular stabilizing elements. A set screw is mounted in each spur bracket to retain the spur therein in adjusted axial position.
