Abstract
A bass drum mute and a muted drum comprise a pad having a first face including a resilient first surface for bearing on the drumhead membrane and an opposite, second face including a second surface for receiving impacts from a beater. A mounting assembly is simultaneously engagable with the pad and the drum hoop or shell, for holding the first surface of the pad in fixed position bearing against the membrane while the second surface is exposed to the beater. The pad preferably comprises a block of self-supporting resilient material such as foam rubber with a striking region of firmer material. A channel spans the pad, with a cross bar insertable in the channel and having free ends extendable beyond the channel. A mounting end effector such as a clamp or suction cup is located on each free end of the cross bar, for attachment to the hoop or shell.
