Real robot drummer (Drumbot)

[Swaledale]

Credit to Manos in a previous post for pointing out the Drumbot this guy has invented.. see link below.... I felt it deserved it's own thread for discussion.

Surely Michael Render will develop this concept ???

See the DRUMBOT here

As I mentioned in the other thread... geeky but cool
In the words of Johnny Five: "Need more input"! (as in more information on this project)

Very cool! Bigger motions (real pounding) would be even better!

[Michael Render]

Great, just what I need. A robot putting me out of a job!

But there has already been an invention for automating V-Drums. I call it "MIDI." Heh.

But if I were to invent something like this, I would make an automaton that would respond to MIDI. Every time I hit a drum, the automaton would make the same motion. Then I would set it up next to my kit and do weird things with it.

That's because you're sick

What Render does with his inflatable dolls...errr...sorry...I mean "automatons" is his own business.

cool.. i don't think that system can do dynamics though..
ever seen the spooky drum&bass monkey by chris cunningham ?
