An electronic percussion instrument pedal device uses a spring structure
in a space between a bottom structure and a foot pedal board structure to
regulate the movement of the foot pedal board structure. Even when the
foot pedal board structure is not being moved, it is regulated by the
above mentioned spring structure into a proper near horizontal position.
If the foot board is stepped on, the coil spring will stretch and a load
(stability) will become strong. As a result, when the foot board is in a
position near the position in which it is not stepped on, the load is
initially relatively light and then becomes heavier as the user continues
to further step on the foot board. This is approximated to the action of
an acoustic bass drum, and a good actuation feeling.
