Drum Master DIY Electronic Drum Brain

Drum Master is a DIY project I designed in which you can create an Electronic drum brain from scratch. This video shows it in action. Apologies for the video / sound quality; I only have a cheap digital camera for taking movies, and the microphone in it doesn't quite do this justice.

For information on how to build this yourself, and for more pictures, schematics, and components, see http://drummaster.thecave.homeunix.org

id like to just use my computer for the drum module, but can you tell me how to connect all the triggers into my computer when i only have one mic jack? would it work to connect the triggers into phone cords then the phone cords into a usb?

This is not possible - that is why I made the Drum Master hardware module in the first place, as a bridge between the sensors and USB.

Can it be used as midi out and cancel the sounds in it an use other sounds,Like using a drum brain with midi out.When you do it this way it helps with latency and double triggering and misfire.

I guess the big board is an analog board and the black box is a microcontroller. Which one are you using? Can you play the rim of the drums?

Nice work but you could used both hands.

is it posible to use my pc as the drum brain, conecting the triggers to the 15pin midi input? if so, do you know how?

That was really cool! I'm surprised nobody commented yet.
