Who invented the cymbal stand?

Question

Different people contributed to the invention of the drum kit, but I can not figure out who invented the cymbal stand.

Answer 1

Previously the drum sets were called traps. This term has become obsolete now. In the early stage, drum rims used to be made of woods. There were no drum stands at that time. Instead of drum stands, there was a metal rack. All the drums were put together on that rack.

The drums were then made of calfskin. But they faced a lot of tuning problems. The cymbals were very small and they were not at all of good quality. They were hung up with curtain cords. But the curtain cords were not able to hold the bid cymbals properly. Finally Gene Krupa invented a cymbal stand.

Answer 2

Gene Krupa. I have a website at the bottom. I think I put it in right. Is that correct?
