ABSTRACT:
An electronic percussion instrument with a single cymbal and a displacement detection apparatus that detects the displacement of an electronic cymbal. The electronic percussion instrument is designed to allows users to simulate the performance feel of an acoustic cymbal with two cymbals. The single cymbal of the instrument moves vertically in conformance with the depression of a pedal to simulate the “open” and “closed” positions of an acoustic cymbal. The displacement detection apparatus electronically detects the vertical displacement of the cymbal in the electronic percussion instrument through measuring resistance change of the detector in conformance with the movements of the cymbal.
