Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a percussion instrument such as a drum or a koto, and more particularly to a percussion body suitable for practicing a percussion instrument having a high silencing effect and a good percussion sensation.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in the practice of percussion instruments such as drums, if a real percussion instrument is used, it is practiced in a room with a soundproofing facility or in an isolated place because of the loud sound.
[0003]
However, when practicing at home, etc., since soundproofing is not possible, it is often practiced using pseudo substitutes that are devised by themselves without using the real thing. For example, magazines, board materials, cushions, and the like are used as substitutes for percussion instruments. Dedicated pseudo substitutes are not commercially available.
[0004]
Numerous devices have been devised for the practice of drums. For example, the drum fan is fixed to a support stand and the angle can be adjusted to make a pseudo drum (Japanese Utility Model No. 6-8994) or In addition, there are disclosed ones in which an elastic sheet such as a rubber sheet is used for the drum's striking surface and a sponge sheet or the like is laminated on the inside thereof to exert a silencing effect (registered utility model No. 30000233, registered utility model number 3041434). No. JP-A-8-202353).
[0005]
In addition, there is a striking portion made of an elastic material in the shape of a crest and a pressure-sensitive sensor inside it, which is displayed with light or sound according to the striking pressure so that it can be practiced while checking the striking state ( JP-A-8-95561, JP-A-8-106247, JP-A-8-137467).
[0006]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-212566 is a combination of a head made of a net-like sheet and a cushioning material such as sponge on the striking surface of the bass drum of the drum set. It is what I did.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Originally, a substitute for a percussion instrument is basically a practice of striking, so if there is a bee to strike, it can be anything that is hit.
[0008]
However, in practice, it is important to acquire not only the techniques such as the accuracy of the hitting rhythm and the accuracy of the hitting position, but also the feeling of hitting such as the strength and timing of the hitting practice so as to produce a good hitting sound.
[0009]
Especially in the case of drum instruments such as drums, it is said that the sound and tone of the percussion sound are different between the expert and the beginner because the performance and timing of the impact greatly influence the performance. It is.
[0010]
It is best to practice with the real thing to practice this feeling of striking, but it is often difficult in practice, such as when practicing at home, and practice using the simulated striking surface. Will be.
[0011]
In the case of percussion instruments such as xylophone and dora, the percussion surface is hard, so the substitute of the pseudo percussion surface is relatively easy. Since it is a striking surface with a strong skin or the like, it is difficult to substitute a simulated striking surface.
[0012]
It is necessary to construct a pseudo striking surface having the same tension sensation as a film surface such as a skin, and a material having both a silencing effect and a tension sensation is required.
[0013]
In the above-mentioned actual application No. 6-8994, since a fan fan is used, there is a sense of tension, but there is no silencing effect. Also, it should not be used as a substitute for a large drum.
[0014]
In addition, in a configuration using a combination of a rubber sheet and a sponge, such as registered utility model No. 30032333, registered utility model No. 3041434, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-202353, a certain degree of tension can be reproduced, but the surface is a rubber sheet. Therefore, if you hit it too hard, the sound of hitting the rubber surface will be quite loud and you will not be able to mute it sufficiently.
[0015]
Further, in the case of JP-A-8-95561, JP-A-8-106247, JP-A-8-137467 and the like, the strength of the hit can be detected, but the shape of the hitting surface is different from that of an actual drum. This is very different from the actual feeling of hitting.
[0016]
In the case of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-212566, the combination of the mesh sheet and the cushioning material has a considerably high sound deadening effect, but it is reproducible in a drum with little bounce like a bass drum. In the case of a taiko drum with a strong tension, the sense of sound is considerably different.
[0017]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides a percussion body suitable for practicing a percussion instrument that can obtain a sufficient silencing effect and can acquire a percussion feel. Is an issue.
[0018]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention forms a hitting surface by stretching a high-strength wire rod in a net shape on a rigid frame. The strike surface of a simulated percussion instrument for practice is composed of the above-mentioned percussion body, or by using the percussion body fixedly supported on the percussion surface of a real percussion instrument, the sound deadening effect is high and The hitting body is suitable for good practice.
[0019]
The high tension wire may be any wire as long as it has a high tension. The tension varies depending on the type of percussion instrument used, but may be any tension that can withstand about 5 to 30 kg. A metal wire, a resin wire, etc. can be used for a material. In addition, natural gut using the intestines of livestock such as tennis gut may be used.
[0020]
The diameter of the wire varies depending on the tensile strength and durability of the material, but is preferably about 0.1 mmφ to 10 mmφ. The mesh size varies depending on the diameter of the bee and the like, but is preferably about 5 mm to 20 mm. The larger the mesh, the more air is released when the striking body vibrates, and the silencing effect is enhanced. If the mesh is too small, the hitting sound will be loud, and if the mesh is too large, the bees will be caught in the mesh and will be difficult to hit.
[0021]
The high-strength wire rod may have a multilayer structure of a core material and a covering material. In order to ensure strength, the core material may be a resin material or a metal material, and the covering material may be an elastic material such as silicon rubber.
[0022]
If the wire is stretched strongly, the noise reduction effect is also reduced due to the striking sound between the wire and the bee. In particular, when a metal wire is used as a high-tensile wire, it is difficult to mute. However, when a two-layer structure is used, a metal wire is used for the core material and an elastic material is used for the covering material, the impact sound caused by the beating of the bee becomes very small, and the sound deadening effect is enhanced as well as the strength.
[0023]
In particular, in the silencing of large percussion instruments such as large drums, it is effective to use a multilayer structure with a metal wire or the like as a core material and a silicon rubber coating to ensure strength.
[0024]
The rigid frame body may be any material as long as a striking surface can be formed by stretching a high-tensile wire, and a metal or a hard resin material can be used.
[0025]
In addition, a fixing means may be provided on the striking surface of a real percussion instrument to fix and support the hitting surface body as a training tool. The fixing means may be any means as long as the hitting surface can be fixed with a predetermined distance from the hitting surface of a real percussion instrument.
[0026]
For example, the frame of the percussion body is made slightly larger according to the shape of the percussion instrument's percussion surface, and an elastic material layer is provided on the inner surface of the perimeter, so that the percussion instrument's percussion surface is covered, fitted and fixed. What you did is fine.
[0027]
Also, the striking body frame has a double structure, the outer frame is fixed to the striking surface of a real percussion instrument, the striking body is formed on the inner frame, and the inner frame with respect to the outer frame. A slide adjusting bracket may be provided so that the slide can be slid and fixed freely.
[0028]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, as a result of intensive research on the problem of how to reduce the striking sound in the practice of striking strongly in the research of drums, the wire rod is crossed in a net-like manner on the frame. Thus, the present inventors have found a structure that can reproduce the percussion sensation similar to that of a real drum, can be effectively silenced, and can be applied to all percussion instruments, and has completed the invention.
[0029]
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0030]
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing an embodiment of a percussion surface for a percussion instrument according to the present invention. The present embodiment is a striking body suitable for practicing a Japanese drum called a taiko drum, and is a practice tool used on a striking surface of a real taiko drum.
[0031]
This practice tool is composed of a circular steel frame 1 and a mesh surface 2 in which a high-strength wire rod is stretched around the frame 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the striking surface 3 is attached to the striking surface of a real drum 4 and the height adjustment knobs 5 provided at four locations on the outer periphery of the frame 1 are loosened to reduce the height of the striking surface. The height can be fixed by tightening the knob 4 again. 7 is a drum stand.
[0032]
The mesh surface 2 which is the striking surface of the hitting body is made of a high-strength wire 6 made of a resin material having a multi-layer structure, and like a tennis racket, the mesh surface 2 has a mesh shape. It is crossed and stretched.
[0033]
As shown in FIG. 3, the wire 6 is formed by winding a large number of small-diameter resin wires 6b in a spiral shape around the outer periphery of a core material 6a made of a hard resin material, like a tennis gut. In addition, the outer peripheral surface is covered with an elastic layer made of a silicon rubber layer 6c.
[0034]
The core material 6a may be a metal wire or a wire, and the outer layer 6c may be any elastic material layer. Moreover, it is good also as a wire formed in the several layer which combined the metal wire, the resin wire, etc., and should just coat | cover the outermost layer 6c with an elastic material.
[0035]
As shown in FIG. 4 (1), the steel frame body 1 has a double structure with a steel ring body, and the outer frame 1 a can be covered with the striking surface of a real drum 4. The outer diameter of the striking surface of the real drum 4 is made larger. The inner frame 1b is smaller than the diameter of the outer periphery of the striking surface of the real drum 4.
[0036]
In addition, vertically long screw holes 1c are provided at four locations on the side surface of the outer frame 1a. On the other hand, female screws 1d are cut in the outer peripheral portion of the inner frame 1b corresponding to the vertically long screw holes 1c. Yes. The inner frame 1b is fixed to the outer frame 1a by inserting the knob 5 into the screw hole 1c of the outer frame 1a and tightening to the female screw 1d of the corresponding inner frame 1b. Will be determined.
[0037]
With the outer frame 1a and the inner frame 1b fixed, the net-like hitting surface 2 and the real taiko hitting surface are spaced apart from each other by covering the hitting surface of the real drum. Will be held.
[0038]
Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (2), the screw hole 1c of the knob 5 provided in the outer frame 1a is made into a plurality of hook-shaped fastening holes, and the knob 5 is tightened and fixed at each hook portion, so that The height can be easily adjusted.
[0039]
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4 (3), a female screw 1e for receiving the knob 5 to which a rubber cover 1f is attached may be provided instead of the inner frame 1b. 5a is a flat washer, and 5b is a spring washer.
[0040]
The knob 5 is tightened to adjust the height of the receiving female screw 1e with the rubber cover 1f and fixed to the outer frame 1a. When the outer drum 1a is put on the striking surface of a real drum, the rubber cover 1f hits the outer periphery of the striking surface of the real drum, and the distance between the net-like striking surface 2 and the real striking surface is maintained.
[0041]
As described above, when the batting practice is performed in a state where the distance between the striking surface of the real drum and the net-like striking surface 2 of the present invention is kept constant, the bee hits the striking surface 2, but the real hitting surface It does not hit the drum's striking surface. For this reason, the practitioner can practice with almost the same posture and feeling as if he was hitting a real drum, and the tapping feel also had a sufficient rebound, a feeling close to the real, and a strong strike But almost no sound.
[0042]
Further, the height of the striking surface 2 is adjusted with the adjustment knob 4 so that it comes close to the striking surface of a real drum and hits it with a striking surface of a real drum slightly when hit with a bee. It is possible to practice so that the sound can be heard only when you strike strongly, and the strength of the blow can be understood.
[0043]
In the present embodiment, an example of using a small drum that is relatively small among the Japanese drums and sitting and hitting was shown. However, by increasing the rigid frame and thickening the high-tensile wire rod, as shown in FIG. The present invention can also be applied to such a large drum 8, and can also be used for a hand-held drum 9 as shown in FIG. 5 (2) by reducing the rigid frame and thinning the high-tensile wire. Further, for example, if only one striking surface of this hand-held drum is used as a striking surface according to the present invention, the striking surface of the present invention is struck during practice, and the striking surface covered with a real skin is struck during performance. It can be a hand-held drum that can be used properly.
[0044]
In Japan, local cultural events are traditionally thriving in various places. For this reason, the practice of percussion instruments, especially drums, is a large scale of tens to hundreds of people. There is no facility with soundproofing facilities, and the practice is mainly outdoors. In such cases, there are many cases where complaints are received from residents in neighboring areas when practiced every day.
[0045]
In such a case, the hitting surface of the present invention can be easily attached to the drum, can be easily silenced, and can be practiced drastically. In recent years, there have been many cases where percussion instruments such as drums are learned as hobbies. The percussion body of the present invention can be applied to all percussion instruments by manufacturing the rigid frame body in accordance with the shape of the percussion instrument.
[0046]
For example, it can be used for silencing, such as xylophone and Indonesian iron koto gangbangansa and dora, which are body instruments.
[0047]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention described in detail has the following effects.
[0048]
1) Since the striking surface is formed by stretching a high-tensile wire rod in a net shape, there is a rebound, it is possible to practice with a striking sensation close to the real thing, and the sound deadening effect is high.
[0049]
2) By providing the fixing means, it can be easily attached to a real percussion instrument, etc., and a practice using a real percussion instrument can be performed without soundproofing equipment.
[0050]
3) It can be manufactured at low cost by using tennis or badminton gut as a wire.
[0051]
4) By making the wire material into a multilayer structure, making the core material a high-strength metal material, and making the coating layer an elastic material, the resilience and durability of the striking body can be enhanced, and the sound deadening effect can be sufficiently exhibited.
[0052]
5) By providing the position adjusting means in the fixing means, it is possible to practice the strength of striking, play the mute, etc.
[0053]
Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a percussion surface for a percussion instrument that exhibits a sufficient silencing effect and can reproduce a percussion sensation similar to a real percussion instrument.
