The invention relates to a drum hoop holding device for a drum pedal, and the drum pedal includes a pivotal pedal plate. The holding device includes a hoop clamp body with a front part that supports a jaw that clamps the drum hoop against a support base of the pedal. The support base includes an inclined elastic material surface against which the hoop is clamped. The clamp body is oriented so that the front part is below the pedal while the rear part is laterally out from under the pedal. The clamp body has a hole through it, a spring that pushes the clamp body up, a bolt that passes through the hole with a seat atop the clamp body that receives the tightening nut and the curvature of the seat in the top of the clamp body cooperates with the curvature of the surface of the nut to permit orientation of the clamp body according to the thickness of the drum hoop to the clamp. A tightening bolt at the rear of the clamp body tightens the jaw at the front of the clamp body against the drum hoop.
