An object of the present invention is to provide a percussion detecting apparatus, which is excellent in percussion feeling, and the percussion sounds of which are very small, in electronic percussion instrumental system. The percussion detecting apparatus is provided with a head prepared from a net-like raw material composed of a first net and a second net, the net-like raw material being obtained by such a manner that both the nets having been woven in accordance with plane weaving manner wherein the longitudinal and transverse fibers cross at right angles are laminated in such a way that the weave pattern directions thereof intersect obliquely with each other; and a head sensor which is in contact with the center position of the under side in the head and detects percussion with respect to the head as electric signal.
A head for an electronic percussion instrument, the head comprising a frame and a net-like material comprising first and second net members, each supported by said frame, said net-like material having openings through which air may pass.
An electronic percussion instrument, comprising:
A method of making an electronic percussion instrument having a generally hollow body with an opening, the method comprising disposing a net-like material in a tensioned state across the opening in the generally hollow body, wherein the net-like material has a percussion surface for receiving a percussion impact, the net-like material comprising first and second net members, each having a plurality of openings sufficient to allow air to pass therethrough upon receiving a percussion impact on the percussion surface.
A head for connection with a body of an electronic percussion instrument of the type having a generally hollow body interior and an opening in airflow communication with the body interior, said head comprising:
