If the virtual drumkit could be synchronized with a Daw’s virtual instruments or triggers, it could be an amazing home studio tool. It would allow people to make more realistic sounding drums without needing to have a drumkit at home (i live in a loft, it would be impossible for me to have a drumkit here; so something like this would be amazing).

It can, but if you want to make more than backing tracks, it's going to be difficult. A lot of drumming techniques depend on the natural bounce of the sticks, which wouldn't happen if you're drumming on air..

@dirgmario 2 жыл бұрын

@@lzbgenna well, I don’t know the device enough or if it or the vst would be sensitive enough for it, but to do stuff like that that requires the natural bounce, you could hit the sticks into a flat wooden surface to simulate those effects of hitting an actual snare.

@TheWolverine7 2 жыл бұрын

@@lzbgenna i think it's moreso for laying down the initial groove in a more natural way than dragging/dropping in your DAW. for more intricate stuff like ghost notes or whatever, yeah you'll probably still need to do that manually. but it definitely still has a benefit for getting the basic stuff down.

I was expecting really bad drum samples for the air drums gadget, and how my expectations were blown. I used to have toy drums as a kid similar to the air drum gadget but the samples were terrible with no variance in tone when playing. The kick drums were a really neat addition too, I'm genuinely impressed.

@danieljensen2626 2 жыл бұрын

It can function as a midi controller, so the samples aren't really important, just needs to trigger correctly. But yeah, if those are the built in set, they're better than most electronic kits even at 2x or 3x the price. (Probably because it runs a computer instead of the 16 bit garbage microcontrollers they seem to put in drum modules.)

Is the webcam included with Aerodrums now? I've had these in my wishlist for a number of years now but when I first heard about them you had to buy some PS4 motion camera of some sort to get it to work as it wasn't included. If they've changed that, that might make it more attractive as I'd quite like an electronic drum kit but my space is very small so this would be the best compromise to playing and recording drums without just using the drum setting on my keyboards...

Cool! Put a piece of paper on one side of the comb, hold it to your lips and hum. With just a little practice You’ll be surprised at the groovy sound that comes out. It makes any note in any key you can vocalize. If you know the guitar part to No Time Left For You by The Guess Who, it sounds a lot like that.

As someone who owns an Aerodrums kit, it's really great to see another review. They are exactly what they say they are, they can be triggered by any drum software, they have excellent dynamics and musicality and the many included samples are extremely high quality. Add to that the people that own the company seem incredibly cool and they have great customer service. I recommend them all the time. The only real issue I have is you have to play them in a non-reflective area. The camera tracks the reflectors and if you have anything behind you that is two bright the software will get confused. With that said, I still highly recommend the product. Hope this helps!

Have you ever tried a Korg Kaoscillator? It's a wacky little device with a recorder and looper in it. You can select the MIDI patch for the track you want to lay down, then play the sounds by tapping, touching, or sliding you finger on the touch pad on the front. I guess they have an app that does the same thing in a smartphone, but I got the hardware version back when flip phones were a thing. Also, I love my Roland AE-01 Mini Aerophone. It's a MIDI wind controller, but it'll also play standalone with 6 different patches, and a bunch more when paired to a phone or tablet with their app in it. But you can connect it to a DAW and use it for MIDI input. A little limited when compared to the AE-10 or the AE-30, but for a first wind controller, it's pretty sweet.
