And there goes my belief that drums are allways fun…
nice idea, bad demo

Dude take me to you dealer, I want same mushrooms

It’s an interesting idea. Personally I love seeing new musical instruments of any kind. I’d like to see a more traditional, non-electronic new instrument but even still this is pretty cool, ESPECIALLY considering the wild analysis techniques described. You could choose to vary those or add a second camera and get some really, really interesting sounds.

Look at the first part of Octavarium made by Dream Theater. I think this kind of device is called a continuum or something.

A piezo would’ve been better, lol.

I don’t know why this is called a drum. It’s more like a silhouette driven sound distorter. There is nothing purcussion about this. Call things what they are. It almost sounds like that kick-ass digeridoo, but isn’t nearly as cool.

Not really, it looks like this because only best leave traces in history, no one will remember any rap artist in 25 years or this guy and in 100 years no one will remember what rap is

You know what would really add to the sci-fi theremin aspect? Recess the drum head a little inches and fill it with a few inches of some viscous gel.

Then it’d look like some alien vehicle interface (a la District 9) and would have the creepy music to match!
