Abstract
An electronic cymbal and a bell part sensor installation method are provided. The electronic cymbal includes: a disk-shaped frame; a frame bell part which is configured at a center of the frame in a top view; a bell part sensor which is attached onto the frame bell part in a circumferential direction and detects a hit on the frame bell part; and a cover which covers the frame and the bell part sensor and has a surface formed as a hit surface, wherein the bell part sensor is separated in at least a radial direction of the frame bell part.
Claims19
An electronic cymbal comprising:
- a disk-shaped frame;
- a frame bell part which is configured at a center of the frame in a top view;
- a bell part sensor which is attached onto the frame bell part in a circumferential direction and detects a hit on the frame bell part, the bell part sensor comprises a first part and a second part;
- and
- a cover which covers the frame and the bell part sensor and has a surface formed as a hit surface,
- wherein the first part has a first C shape and the second part has a second C shape,
- wherein the first part and the second part of the bell part sensor are separated with a separation in at least a radial direction of the frame bell part, and the separation is arc-shaped,
- wherein the first part includes a first divided portion forming an opening of the first C shape, and the second part includes a second divided portion forming an opening of the second C shape,
- wherein the first divided portion and the second divided portion are configured to suppress an erroneous detection of a hit on the frame bell part.
A bell part sensor installation method, which is a method of providing a bell part sensor in a frame bell part in an electronic cymbal comprising a disk-shaped frame, a frame bell part which is formed at a center of the frame in a top view, and a bell part sensor which is attached onto the frame bell part in a circumferential direction and detects a hit on the frame bell part, the bell part sensor installation method comprising:
- separating the bell part sensor with a separation in at least a radial direction of the frame bell part, and the separation is arc-shaped, and
- providing a first part sensor and a second part sensor of the bell part sensor with the separation,
- wherein the first part sensor has a first C shape and the second part sensor has a second C shape,
- wherein the first part sensor includes a first divided portion forming an opening of the first C shape, and the second part sensor includes a second divided portion forming an opening of the second C shape,
- wherein the first divided portion and the second divided portion are configured to suppress an erroneous detection of a hit on the frame bell part.
