Its amazing how many people are evolving the guitar hero style drum kit. It’s like custom drum kits!

Is there a video or something, so I hear how it sounds? I’d very much like to make it – looks like a fairly inexpensive project depending on where you get the rest of the materials…

being a muso myself, I would agree about dampening the skins, wouldn’t wont the additional unwanted sound from wood hitting acrylic

Funny, at first I thought it was a row of oddly shaped toilets…

I agree with audin, would make it much cooler if a computer wasnt involved in the process

As a long time professional drummer (Platinum Record from Duran Duran), this is cool, but would play like crap. Needs to have something with some sort of response, like a layer of rubber, to give it bounce. I’ve got a 18 piece electronic set, that I had custom made, all the heads are rubber. If he made them round, he could use stock off the shelf heads, all of the same size.

I’m bummed the arduino isn’t making the sound itself though.

Hey! very cool!I’m a guitarist who’s been hacking drum-kit-type-contraptions since before it was called hacking- a c_sio or whatever keyboard w/percussion presets,those kinda things- basically anything that I could wire to microswitches or whatever I could scrounge(gomi)and make drum-like sounds. I’m impressed with your kit-as a proof of concept kind of thing,though it’s not quite practical yet. I look forward to seeing what you post when your’e done. It’s gorgeous! Keep it up!

Cool! I love this! Somehow, I think I will get a kit from spikenzielab and make some drums for the band I am in and use my computer as the drum software. (D’Accord anyone?)

That’s pretty cool. He would need to rearrange the drums for it to be more effective playing-wise, though. Otherwise, pretty good. And yeah, noise dampening will probably need to be required, unless he’s somehow already worked that in without being apparent on the picture….
