An Electronic Bass Drum includes one or more loudspeakers, an internal
amplifier system, an optional electronic drum module and control panel,
an impact sensitive electronic kick pad, an attachment for a bass drum
pedal, mounting hardware for tom toms or other acoustic or electronic
instruments, legs for stabilization, one or more headset jacks for silent
play, input jacks for other instruments and/or microphones, and an
ipod.TM. cradle for playing along with music. All of which are enclosed
in a cylindrical shell which cosmetically matches the dimensions and
design characteristics of a conventional acoustic bass drum.
