Patent ID: 8431813

Claim:
An electronic drum, the electronic drum comprising: a cylindrical tubular member; a striking surface head stretched across a first end of the tubular member, and having a striking surface extending in a plane; a striking surface hoop configured to hold down an outer peripheral edge of the striking surface head; a rear surface hoop disposed on a second end of the tubular member; a plurality of coupling devices configured to stretch the striking surface head by coupling and clamping to each of the rear surface hoop and the striking surface hoop, each of the coupling devices being separated from the cylindrical tubular member; a striking surface sensor disposed between the rear surface hoop and the striking surface hoop to be in contact with the striking surface head to detect vibrations of the striking surface head; and a leg support member operatively connected to the rear surface hoop to support at least some of the weight of the cylindrical tubular member through the rear surface hoop, the leg support member for supporting the electronic drum on a floor surface, such that the striking surface defines a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the floor surface, the leg support member including a stand having a fixed length and angle relative to the plane of the striking surface, and at least one leg having a length extending in a longitudinal dimension in a direction from the rear surface hoop toward the floor surface when the leg support member supports the electronic drum on the floor surface, the longitudinal dimension of the leg being at an oblique angle relative to the plane of the striking surface, at least one of the length and the oblique angle of the leg being adjustable; wherein the striking surface sensor is operatively connected to the rear surface hoop.
