A bass drum support hoop for supporting one or more percussive instruments, and a method of supporting one or more percussive instruments, above a bass drum. The hoop comprising: an inward face, an outward face, a front edge, and a drum head edge adapted to engage a drum head; the hoop adapted to receive a plurality of tensioners opposite the drum head edge and at least one percussive instrument support for mounting at least one percussive instrument; the hoop capable of supporting the at least one percussion instrument above the outward face; whereby when the hoop is tensioned by the tensioners attached to a bass drum shell to apply pressure to the drum head positioned across the bass drum shell and in contact with the drum head edge, the hoop is capable of supporting the at least one percussive instrument support, and the at least one percussive instrument mounted on the support and positioned above the outward face of the hoop, while maintaining substantially uniform axial pressure against the drum head and not applying substantial radial pressure against the drum shell.
