Abstract
There is provided an electronic percussion instrument. The electronic percussion instrument includes a struck surface and a plurality of strike sensors configured to detect a strike on the struck surface. The plurality of strike sensors include at least one central sensor that is disposed on a back side of the struck surface and disposed at a center side of the struck surface and a plurality of peripheral sensors that are disposed on a peripheral side of the struck surface. The central sensor and the peripheral sensors each have the same structure. The peripheral sensors are configured to transmit a strike signal in a shorter time than the central sensor when the struck surface is struck.
