Abstract: A portable system for drumming is provided that simulates a full drum kit. In one implementation, a system is provided that can digitally simulate a full drum kit without the need for actual drums. The system can include electronic drumsticks that can transmit digitally sampled drum sounds (e.g., snare, kick drum, high-tom, low-tom, cymbal) wirelessly to a receiver. The receiver can connect to one or more outputs, such as headphones or a stereo system. The receiver may also be configured to mix audio signals produced by the drumsticks with other audio inputs such as an MP3 player to permit a user to drum along with prerecorded music.

Abstract: Beating sounds and attenuation sounds generated by first original sound generators (100) corresponding to elements of a conventional drum set are received by augmented microphones. A sound modulator (26) is used for modulating tones of the electronic sounds from the augmented microphones without any digital conversion. A reproducer (34) is used for reproducing the output sounds from the sound modulator (26). Because the processes of digitally converting, transferring signals by optical couplers, and selecting recorded sounds for reproducing are eliminated, the reproduced sounds can represent subtle techniques of the performer by directly using the original sounds generated when the first original sound generators (100) are beaten.

Abstract translation: 通过增加的麦克风接收对应于常规鼓组的元件的第一原始声音发生器（100）产生的打击声音和衰减声音。 声音调制器（26）用于从增强麦克风中调制电子声音的音调，而无需任何数字转换。 再现器（34）用于再现来自声音调制器（26）的输出声音。 由于消除了通过光耦合器进行数字转换，传输信号以及选择用于再现的记录声音的处理，所以再现的声音可以通过直接使用当第一原始声音发生器（100）被殴打时产生的原始声音来代表表演者的微妙技术 。

Abstract: An interactive electronic drum system and training techniques suitable for use in a coin-operated environment such as an arcade are described. Electronic drum pads, audio speakers, a visual display, training lights and an overall control system are combined to simulate the excitement of a live drum or inactive musical jam session for a user. Positive feedback and, as necessary, instructive aid are provided to make the experience a positive one for both the novice and the expert player. Learning and playing a musical instrument becomes an intuitive, exciting experience and not a boring chore to be endured. Players can simulate the experience of playing in a rock band before a live and appreciative audience. In short, this interactive electronic drum system makes drums and the jamming experience widely accessible to the public.

Abstract: An electronic percussion synthesizer is disclosed which includes a plurality of pressure transducers, each representing a different percussive musical instrument. Each transducer is responsive to an external striking force for generating analog pulses, each pulse representing one beat of the respective musical instrument. The transducers are mounted to a synthesizer housing in a manner which mechanically isolates the transducers from each other. Each transducer is supported within a pair of housing portions by a resilient coupler maintained in compression between the interior surfaces of the housing portions.
