Abstract
A spring formed of an elastomeric body suitable to isolate vibrations transmitted from a support structure. A recess is formed in one end of the body to retain a portion of the supporting structure. A second end is adapted to be placed on an underlying surface such that the spring is disposed between the underlying surface and the support structure. A channel or hollow portion extends through the body to allow the second end to deform and thereby isolate vibrations from the underlying surface. The spring is particularly useful in isolating vibrations generated from a musical drum.
