Abstract: Various implementations of an electronic cowbell are provided. In one aspect, an electronic cowbell may include a main holder, a first sensor, a second sensor, an elastic pad, and a back cover. The first sensor may be disposed on a first portion of the main holder. The second sensor may be disposed on a second portion of the main holder. The elastic pad may be disposed on the main holder. The first sensor and the second sensor may be configured to detect percussions of multiple percussion zones of the main holder. The back cover and the main holder may be coupled together to form an enclosure that contains either or both of the first sensor and the second sensor therein.

Abstract: Embodiments of a digital cymbal displacement control device for an electronic hi-hat are provided. A digital cymbal displacement detection unit in accordance with the present disclosure is configured to be directly mounted on the tube above the stand of an electronic hi-hat, as with any conventional hi-hat, without any need of changing the way how the electronic hi-hat is operated. The digital cymbal displacement detection unit includes at least one displacement detection unit and a plurality of sliding elastic elements that slide along a contact surface of the at least one displacement detection unit. Variation in an electrical parameter of at least one of the at least one displacement detection unit is utilized to determine the displacement of an electronic cymbal set of the electronic hi-hat.

Abstract: Embodiments of a digital bass drum kick for a bass drum are provided. A digital bass drum kick includes an acoustic unit, a connection unit, and a support member. The acoustic unit has a first primary side and a second primary side. The first primary side is configured to receive impacts by a bass drum beater of a bass drum pedal. The second primary side is configured to conformably contact a drumhead of a bass drum, the acoustic unit configured to output a digital bass drum signal representative of a sound of the bass drum in response to the first primary side receiving an impact. The connection unit is configured to couple to a hoop of a bass drum. The support member is coupled between the acoustic unit and the connection unit, and is configured to elevate the acoustic unit a predefined distance from the connection unit.

Abstract: An electronic percussion instrument may include a percussion member that generates vibrations when percussed, a vibration resonance member, and a vibration damping member. The vibration resonance member may include a hub portion centrally located in the vibration resonance member, a plurality of radial portions extending radially from the hub portion, and a plurality of ring portions. Each of the radial portions may traverse through and connect at least some of the plurality of ring portions. Ring portions of the plurality of ring portions may be concentrically arranged with each ring portion adjacent to one another. The vibration damping member, disposed between and in direct contact with the percussion member and the vibration resonance member, may propagate the vibrations generated by the percussion member to the vibration resonance member.
