Electronic percussion instrument and percussion sound reduction method

Abstract

An elastic body 3 includes through holes 32 connecting upper and lower surfaces thereof. Therefore, compared with a case where the through holes 32 are not formed, a sound produced due to vibration of the elastic body 3 at a time of a percussion to the head 1 can be reduced effectively. Meanwhile, in regions where the through holes 32 are not formed, the vibration at the time of the percussion to the head 1 is propagated to the support part 20 via the elastic body 3 itself. Accordingly, the vibration at the time of the percussion to the head 1 can be propagated to the head sensor S1 via the support part 20. Accordingly, the percussion to the head 1 can be accurately detected, while the percussion sound at the time of the percussion to the head 1 can be reduced.
