Electronic cymbal and striking detection method

A striking detection method for an electronic cymbal, wherein

• the electronic cymbal comprises:
• a plate-like frame;
• a sensor installed to an upper surface on an outer edge side of the frame;
• and
• a cover covering upper surfaces of the sensor and the frame,
• the cover comprises:
• an upper cover part covering the upper surface of the frame in a state in which a space is formed between the upper cover part and the sensor;
• a lateral cover part extending from an outer edge of the upper cover part and covering an outer peripheral surface of the frame in a state in which a space is formed between the lateral cover part and an outer peripheral surface of the frame;
• and
• a lower cover part, extending from a lower end of the lateral cover part to an inner peripheral side and covering a lower surface of the frame,
• the upper cover part or the frame comprises a stopper facing the space between the upper cover part and the sensor,
• the upper cover part comprises a protrusion which protrudes toward the sensor,
• the frame comprises:
• a covered part covered in a state of being contacted by the upper cover part;
• and
• a bent part bent downward from an outer edge of the covered part,
• wherein the stopper is disposed next to the bent part, so that a sidewall of the stopper is in contact with a sidewall of the bent part in response to a striking, and
• the striking detection method comprises:
• at the time of striking an outer edge of the cover, limiting deformation of the upper cover part toward the inner peripheral side by the stopper, and detecting striking to the cover by pressing the sensor by the upper cover part deformed with the stopper as a fulcrum.
