ELECTRONIC PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT

摘要

An electronic percussion instrument includes a stand, a support member (e.g. a stay), a pad member with a head, and an impact sensor. The support member has an L-shape including a stand-attaching portion and a pad-attaching portion. The stand-attaching portion is fixed to the stand while the pad-attaching portion is extended vertically from the front end of the stand-attaching portion at an inflection point. Owing to the elasticity of the support member, the pad-attaching portion is deflected about the inflection point in the rearward direction in comparison with the stand-attaching portion due to a striking force applied to the head being struck with a beater. Upon detecting an impact applied to the head, the impact sensor generates an electric signal so as to generate a musical sound. Thus, it is possible to suppress floor reverberation by absorbing an impact between the head and the beater via the support member.

主权项

1. An electronic percussion instrument comprising:
a stand which is placed on a floor; a support member including a stand-attaching portion which is fixed to the stand and a pad-attaching portion which is extended vertically from the stand-attaching portion at an inflection point, wherein the stand-attaching portion and the pad-attaching portion are unified together to form a bent shape in a side view; a pad member, including a head which is struck with a beater, which is attached to the pad-attaching portion; and an impact sensor which converts a vibration occurring on the head subjected to a striking operation into an electric signal, wherein the support member is formed such that the pad-attaching portion is deflected about the inflection point in a rearward direction relative to the stand-attaching portion due to a striking operation applied to the head.
