Patent ID: 8841527

Claim:
An electronic percussion instrument, comprising: a percussion member that generates vibrations when percussed; a vibration resonance member that resonates with the vibrations, the vibration resonance member comprising a hub portion, a plurality of radial portions extending radially from the hub portion, and a plurality of spiral portions, wherein: each of the spiral portions is disposed between and connects respective two of the radial portions, and each of the radial portions is connected to a respective adjacent one of the radial portions by one or more of the spiral portions; a vibration damping member, disposed between and in direct contact with the percussion member and the vibration resonance member, that propagates the vibrations generated by the percussion member to the vibration resonance member; and an electronic sound generation unit, connected to the vibration resonance member, that senses the vibrations of the percussion member through the vibration damping member and the vibration resonance member and outputs a signal used in generation of an electronic percussion sound.
