Abstract
An electronic pad generates a sound imitating a tone generated during a musical performance by an acoustic percussion instrument. In some examples, an electronic hi-hat cymbal imitates the sound created by an acoustic hi-hat cymbal without having to correct for uneven detection of striking sensitivity. The electronic pad includes a striking sensor, a striking surface, and a bowl-shaped frame that is curved such that the sensor detects vibration waveform data according to the striking force of a strike against the striking surface.
