Claim:
1. A pedal device for an electronic percussion instrument, the pedal device comprising: a base placed on a floor; a pedal rotatably and pivotally supported by the base at one longitudinal end side; and a force applying member applying a force in a direction to separate the pedal from the base, wherein a first detection device for detecting a rotation of the pedal and a second detection device for detecting the rotation of the pedal by a method different from the first detection device are configured to be disposed in the base, wherein the pedal comprises a pressing part at the other longitudinal end side of the pedal, and the pressing part is disposed on a lower surface side of the pedal, the pressing part displaces with the rotation of the pedal to have a displacement trajectory, wherein the base comprises a first portion located under the pressing part for supporting the first detection device, and a second portion located around the first portion for supporting the second detection device, wherein the first detection device comprises a first pressed part configured to be disposed on the first portion and a first sensor for detecting whether the first pressed part is pressed by the pressing part, wherein the second detection device comprises a second pressed part configured to be disposed to bridge the second portion and a second sensor for detecting whether the second pressed part is pressed by the pressing part, when the first detection device is disposed, the first portion supports the first pressed part of the first detection device on the displacement trajectory of the pressing part, and when the second detection device is disposed, the second portion supports the second pressed part of the second detection device on the displacement trajectory of the pressing part.
