Abstract
A foot pedal for a drum is basically constituted by a foot board, a depression transmission member, a pedal frame having a pair of support members, a rotation shaft, a rocker, a beater rod, and a beater. Herein, the rocker comprises a rocker body and a rod fixing portion having a fixing member receiving portion for receiving a fixing member. In assembly, the fixing member is attached to the beater rod and is then received by the fixing member receiving portion; thereafter, a bolt is deeply screwed into the rocker to press the beater rod to the interior wall of the rod insertion hole, so that the fixing member is correspondingly moved backwards and is completely engaged with the fixing member receiving portion. Thus, it is possible to reliably avoid unwanted axial rotation of the beater rod during the play of a bass drum with the foot pedal.
