Abstract
The disclosed electronic percussion instrument includes a plate-like pad that has a front surface to be struck, a sheet-like pressure sensor that is provided on a back surface of an outer circumferential end portion of the pad and that detects a pressure change, and a weight portion that contacts a front surface of the pressure sensor, wherein, due to striking on the front surface of the pad, an inertial force from the front surface of the pressure sensor toward a back surface of the pad acts on the weight portion, and the weight portion presses the pressure sensor.
