Title:
ELECTRONIC PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/207438
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides an electronic percussion instrument capable of creating a sound by accurately identifying the position hit by a player even when the instrument has an inflexible hitting surface where the entire hitting surface does not deflect when hit or when the player plays the instrument while blocking deflections of the hitting surface. An electronic percussion instrument 100 includes, on a tubular shell 103 that supports a head 101, a hoop 106, a second hitting part 114, and a rim sensor 122. A first hitting part 107 made up of an elastomer material is provided at the upper edge of the hoop 106. The second hitting part 114 is made up of a sheet-like wood material that is bent along the upper edge of the hoop 106. A signal processing device 200 electrically connected to the rim sensor 122 determines whether the first hitting part 107 or the second hitting part 114 was hit by using the difference in frequencies per time unit between the frequency generated by hitting the first hitting part 107 and the frequency generated by hitting the second hitting part 114.
