Drum racks.
Some of the old jazzers had racks but, the rack as we see it today was a hardware innovation. Took me a long time to succumb but, I have to admit it took away a lot of frustration dealing with colliding tripods.
Most innovations in drum industry history are hardware related for practical reasons. Cylinders and membranes have been around for ages but, how you carry, mount, and set up and take down seems to bring about the lion's share of innovative thought.
