VIRTUAL DRUM KIT DEVICE
The present disclosure relates to a virtual drum kit device. The virtual drum kit device includes a motion capture device and a drum sound processing device separated from each other; where, the motion capture device includes at least two drumsticks, the drumstick including a first cover body, as well as a first battery, a first control printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) board and a vibration motor which are arranged in the first cover body, the first control PCBA board being connected to the battery and the vibration motor separately, and being capable of transmitting an RF signal to the drum sound processing device according to a motion instruction captured by the drumstick, the drum sound processing device includes a second cover body, as well as a second battery and a second control PCBA board which are arranged in the second cover body.

Drum practice pad
According to an aspect of the present disclosure there is provided a practice pad for practising the use of a snare drum. The practice pad includes: an upper drum surface; and a sound generating device arranged below the drum surface. The sound generating device includes: a chamber having a first surface and an opposing second surface; and a plurality of elongate rods retained inside the chamber, between the first and second surfaces, so that the plurality of elongate rods vibrate against the first and second surfaces in response to a strike of the drum surface.

Musical instruments configured to help refine playing technique, and method of making same
A practice musical instrument configured to mimic implement rebound produced when playing a conventional version of the musical instrument can include a plurality of spaced-apart, rectangular keys. At least two of the keys can have a different length. A strike pad can be attached to a top surface of each key. Each strike pad can be formed of rubber. Each strike pad can be sized to the key to which it is attached. Hitting one of the strike pads with an implement can produce a rebound of the implement that mimics a rebound of the implement when hitting a corresponding key of the conventional version of the instrument. Hitting one of the strike pads with the implement produces a sound that is quieter than when the implement hits a corresponding key of the conventional version of the instrument.

Musical instrument mallet and method of use
A musical instrument mallet includes a head extending from a first end to a second end, the head having a steel core; and a foam shell surrounding the steel core; a handle attached to the head at the second end; the head is used to inflict force upon an instrument; and the steel core and foam shell create a low volume sound with the instrument.
Insertable percussion system
A percussion system comprising a pedal and an inserting/retracting mechanism operably connected to a percussion instrument and the pedal from moving the percussion instrument horizontally from a first position to a second position and from the second position to the first position by operation of the pedal.
