Hello all.
I'm considering creating some software to help people learn how to play on electronic kits. In brief, the software would display a beat which the player would drum along with, and be graded on accuracy, stamina, etc.
The player's drumming ability would be measured by having the kit connected the computer by MIDI, so it would be fully interactive. The speed and complexity of the pieces would increase as the player's skill improved.
This may sound similar to the various Rock Band mods which are discussed elsewhere, but I think there's is a gap in the marketplace for software which focuses on teaching real playing skills rather than the simplified Rock Band / DTXMania approach.
I know that most drum brains have some simple coach modes built-in, but I feel they could be so much better if running on a full PC.
So, my questions:
- Do you know of any software already available which does this kind of thing?
- Would you be interested in buying such a product if it was available?
