Digital Drum Kit
View Drum Demo
The purpose of this project was to make a quasi digital drum kit. I was able to find audio samples of five different drums instruments to make a 5-piece drum set. For the hardware I used an Arduino Uno with a breadboard, resistors, jumper wires, Piezo amplifiers, five plastic containers and some tape. I taped the Piezo amplifiers to the inside of my plastic lids. Using a USB cable, I connected the Arduino to my computer and configured it. Once it was configured, I used Max (a visual programming language) to program each drum. Once that was completed I was able to tap on the lids of the plastic containers to create my drum sounds.
