An electronic drum includes a pad to be beaten with sticks, a circular piezoelectric converter for converting stress to an electric signal and a semi-circular filter element adhered at one surface to the pad and at the other surface to the circular piezoelectric converter; the circular piezoelectric converter is partially held in contact with the semi-circular filter element and partially overhung under the pad; when the vibrations reach the filter element, the filter element eliminates high frequency vibration components from the vibrations, and transmits them to the half of the circular piezoelectric converter; the vibrations give rise to bending stress in the half of the piezoelectric converter held in contact with the filter element, and shake the other half of the piezoelectric converter; this results in enlargement of the bending stress, and the electric signal with a wide amplitude is taken out from the piezoelectric converter.
