Electronic percussion
To provide an electronic percussion that ensures reproducing further faithful musical sound relative to a hitting operation by a player. An electronic percussion 100 includes a thin plate-shaped head 101 at an opening formed into a shape of a cylinder with a closed bottom and respective pressure sensor 106 and signal processing device 110 on a bottom 102 a . A surface of the head 101 constitutes a struck surface 101 a . The head 101 includes a vibration sensor 103 on the back surface. The vibration sensor 103 includes a pressure sensor pressing body 105 on the pressure sensor 106 side. The pressure sensor pressing body 105 is formed to have a tapered shape whose outer diameter gradually thins from the vibration sensor 103 side to the pressure sensor 106 side. The signal processing device 110 outputs a musical sound signal representing a musical sound using respective detection signals of the vibration sensor 103 and the pressure sensor 106.
1. An electronic percussion comprising:
a head constituting a struck surface beaten by a player;
a vibration sensor disposed at a back surface side opposite to the struck surface at the head, the vibration sensor being configured to detect a vibration of the head;
a pressure sensor disposed opposed to the vibration sensor at a side opposite to the head, the pressure sensor being configured to detect a pressure received by the head;
a pressure sensor supporting body disposed at a side opposite to the vibration sensor with respect to the pressure sensor, the pressure sensor supporting body supporting the pressure sensor; and
a pressure sensor pressing body disposed between the vibration sensor and the pressure sensor or between the pressure sensor and the pressure sensor supporting body, the pressure sensor pressing body pressing the pressure sensor.
2. The electronic percussion according to claim 1 , wherein
the pressure sensor pressing body is constituted of an elastic body that elastically deforms according to a pressure.
3. The electronic percussion according to claim 1 , wherein
the pressure sensor pressing body has an area of a part pressing the pressure sensor smaller than an area of the pressure sensor.
4. The electronic percussion according to claim 1 , wherein
the pressure sensor pressing body has an area of one end at a side pressing the pressure sensor smaller than an area of an end at another side, the other side being the vibration sensor side or the pressure sensor supporting body side.
5. The electronic percussion according to claim 1 , wherein
the vibration sensor and the pressure sensor are disposed at a center of the head.
6. The electronic percussion according to claim 1 , wherein
the pressure sensor pressing body is not fixedly secured to but in contact with a surface of the pressure sensor.
7. The electronic percussion according to claim 1 , wherein:
the pressure sensor pressing body is disposed between the vibration sensor and the pressure sensor, and
between the pressure sensor and the pressure sensor supporting body, a pressure sensor receiving body is provided, the pressure sensor receiving body being constituted of an elastic body that elastically deforms according to a pressure.
8. The electronic percussion according to claim 1 , wherein
the vibration sensor is supported by a vibration sensor supporting body, the vibration sensor being separated from the head.
9. The electronic percussion according to claim 1 , wherein
the pressure sensor supporting body includes a displacement mechanism that changes a distance between the pressure sensor pressing body and the pressure sensor.
