Abstract
A support leg for a musical instrument bass drum including a base on the drum body having an annular gear surface, a leg pivotally supported to the base at the center of the gear surface, and gearing on the leg for meshing with the gear surface on the base for preventing swinging of the leg with respect to the base. A spring urges the base and leg apart to permit the leg to pivot. A bolt is tightened to move the gear surface and gearing into meshing. Cooperating stoppers on the base and the leg establish the use and nonuse swing positions of the leg with reference to the base. The support leg includes a main body and a leg that expands or contracts with reference to the body and a clamp for clamping the leg at a selected expanded position. A display on the main body displays the expanded position of the leg with respect to the body.
