Aerodrums Portable Electronic Drum Set - Air Drum Sticks & Pedals - Practice Drum Accessory more Quiet than Pads - Full Midi Electric Drum Kit that fits a Small Tabletop or Bag - Drummer Gift

I'll make this a bit longer since it's such a new idea (relatively new, I guess I'm somewhat late to the party). Been playing with this for about a month so I have a good idea of what I like/don't like about it. It is a little bit tricky to start using, but once you get the hang of it, it's very good. The idea behind it is that it tracks height of the drum sticks when it stops falling (i.e., lowest point of the drum stroke) and the horizontal position of the drumstick across the screen to map a 3d drum set onto a 2-d video image. Interesting, and seemingly gimmicky, but it works, and it works pretty darn well. Of course, the biggest selling point is how portable it is. I used to march percussion and know how important it is to practice on-the-go. Some things I don't have a ton of experience with, but can talk about are the accuracy and latency. I can't say I've had the most experience with a real drum set, but I knew very quickly that my time literally air-drumming had caused me to develop some bad habits (i.e., I knew the motions of drumming, but had no accuracy when starting out). This would result in a lot of unintended cross-talk, as well as hitting the wrong drums because I wasn't used to hitting a drum in one spot consistently. This is something I learned fairly quickly, and the program did well to recreate a real, static drum set in this case. I'm a musician and play the bass (rhythm-intensive) so I can feel when something has even the slightest bit of latency. When this program says 2.5ms latency, they mean it. It's amazing. However, in order to reach these levels of latency, you do have to set this program as the only one using the audio output, meaning you can't also playback music from your default music player. Of course, Aerodrums includes a built-in music player (which is a bit clunky, but that may change with a later software update), and I've decided to output my Aerodrums and phone (as the music source) to a mini mixer (Behringer Xenyx 502 is perfect for this). Aerodrums also lets you record audio, both as an inclusive .wav file and as a multi-track output (a .wav file for each drum/instrument). Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised. I was expecting something that would only work half the time and I would probably end up selling or returning due to it being too gimmicky, but once you understand how exactly it works and what you have to do to get the most accurate drumming experience (which doesn't take much, just a bit of patience and willingness to reconfigure the drum layout) it can become a great way to create realistic sounding drum tracks. Looking for maybe an updated UI in later releases, as well as an ability to simulate brushes and cymbal choking (two things I thought I heard the guys behind Aerodrums were hoping to implement in the future).

I’ve been learning drumming for just under a year. I wanted something quiet, highly portable and compact that I could take with me when away in our caravan, and that I could play later at night or early morning at home. At first I was attracted to the Bluetooth drumsticks option as it looked so simple. But they were very poor (see my review of AeroBands). The camera/light/computer requirements of AeroDrums initially put me off, but after watching many excellent user videos, I gave them a go. And they are amazing!! It took me a few sessions to get used to the technique and drum positioning, and I still have a way to go with them, but they are great fun to play. The samples are high quality, and the user interface is fairly intuitive. There’s a User Forum with loads of advice, which is reassuring given there are many other happy AeroDrummers out there. So don’t be put off, they really work!

Avantages: - La sensibilité de la batterie est impressionnante. Comme en réalité !! des sonorités de très bonne qualité - Logiciel compatible Mac et Windows - Avoir un Aérodrum est très pratique pour les déplacements si on a un pc portable/macbook. prend très peu de place, rentre dans un sac à dos. - on peut créer autant de sets de jeu qu'on le souhaite. Inconvénients: - Tout est écrit en anglais vu qu'il s'agit d'une première version - Paramétrages un peu difficiles à comprendre au début (si vous n'êtes pas très bons en Anglais comme moi) mais on s'y fait rapidement. (entre 1 et 2h me concernant) une fois compris c'est simple à utiliser. -Lorsque l'on place les différents éléments dans l'espace pour composer sa batterie, ce n'est pas facile de les placer parfaitement au début vu qu'on les place dans le vide), mais à force d'essayer, on arrive à trouver le bon placement. Possédant déjà une batterie éléctronique, je pense que chaque type de batterie a ses avantages et ses inconvénients. Il est donc selon moi intéréssant d'avoir les 3 types de batteries si on en a les moyens et l'utilité. Ma batterie éléctronique me permet de jouer sur une batterie matérielle sans déranger tout le monde autour, (on a les sensations, mais ca fait un peu de bruit quand même en tapant dessus) L'aérodrum (vu qu'on tape dans le vide) ne fait vraiment aucun bruit (juste le bruit des pieds qui tapotent sur le sol), c'est facilement transportable, mais n'est pas conseillé aux débutants qui n'ont pas une maitrise parfaite des gestes de bases (prise en main des baguettes, le rebond) par risque d'attraper une tendinite. La batterie acoustique, la vraie, l'unique, est parfaite pour le sons, le touché, les vibrations, mais prend de la place, fait du bruit et est difficilement transportable. En un mot, je vous recommande d'acheter l'aérodrum,parce que pour son prix, c'est génial et toujours pratique d'avoir ca dans sa poche.

Dear Seller, Aw man. I was so looking forward to this as an alternative to going to the practice space. I cannot set up my drums because I live in an apartment. It’s not that the product was of lower quality, or something was missing, it’s just when I went to set it up. I don’t know what happened. I’m not sure if the room that I was in was too small or perhaps I had the camera too close to where I was sitting, or maybe the fact that I am 6’5”, and I did not fit into the allotted space that was provided by the shadow outline. But I could not get this going to save my life. So I just abandoned it and it’s been sitting since the day it arrived. This should come with more than a few words , set up guide. Could not troubleshoot this item out of its coma. Sad drummer Thomas Clarke

Produto cumpre 100% o que promete , obviamente que não é um coisa pra quem tá iniciando na bateria , e não , não é um brinquedo como tem muitos aí no mercado 😅 Valeu apena cada centavo 👏🏽👏🏽
