A mounting and optionally resonance adjusting bracket for use with drums of the type comprises a hollow drum shell, a plurality of lugs, a drum head fitted over at least one end of the shell, and a counterhoop fitted over the drum head and adjustably secured to the lugs. The bracket comprises a steel band to be secured in a position substantially surrounding a drum shell and having a split portion with bent ends movable between an opened position and a closed position and operated by a threaded screw member. The steel band has a soft elastomeric covering along its upper edge and notches along its lower edge sized and spaced to fit over the drum lugs. A substantially U-shaped plate member is adjustably secured on the steel band having elongated slots on opposite ends thereof and threaded members in the slots securing the plate member to the band. A rod shaped bumper member is secured on the plate member for engaging the drum shell. An adjustable mounting block is secured on the plate member for attachment to a drum stand. The band may be installed around the drum shell loosely with the drum head ring resting thereon or may be tightened against the drum shell to modify the resonance of the drum. The band may also be installed around the drum shell outside the tension rods with the counterhoop resting on the band. If the bracket is used with a drum having split lugs, the counterhoop of drum may rest on the band, or the band may be tightened around the lugs, or the band may be positioned loosely below the lugs or tightened against the drum shell to modify resonance of the drum.
