Abstract
Provided are an electronic percussion instrument and a control device thereof. The electronic percussion instrument includes central and peripheral sensors, first and second waiting devices, and a sound production instruction device. When the central sensor detects a strike earlier than the peripheral sensor, the first waiting device performs a first waiting process for a first predetermined time after the central sensor detects the strike. When the peripheral sensor detects a strike earlier than the central sensor, the second waiting device performs a second waiting process for a second predetermined time after the peripheral sensor detects the strike. The sound production instruction device instructs production of a striking sound after the first waiting process of the first waiting device ends, or after the second waiting process of the second waiting device ends if the central sensor has not detected a strike within the second waiting process of the second waiting device.
