Abstract: An electronic percussion instrument comprising a pair of drum assemblies of each of different tone. Each drum assembly is mounted on a housing and comprises a drum head having a sensor responsive to touch and/or pressure and an analog-to-digital converter to generate an electronic signal indicative of said touch and/or pressure. The electronic signal is transmitted to a processing unit which analyses it and generates an output signal. The output signal is transmitted to a sound card which reproduces a sound representative of a drumbeat based on the output signal.

Abstract: An electronic percussion instrument includes a base and a drumhead mounted resiliently on the base so as to be movable relative to the base. A plurality of sensors to detect movement of the drumhead relative to the base are spaced about the drumhead at selected positions to measure displacement of the drumhead relative to the base at said selected positions. At least some of said sensors are adjacent the rim of the drumhead and are responsive to movement of the rim of the drumhead towards and away from the base. The individual sensors respond to the movement at their location and the individual responses of the plurality of sensors are simultaneously measured and compared to determine the location of a hit on the drumhead, the force of the hit, and/or the duration of the hit.
