DIY Drum Machine - Circuit Bending

http://secondhandsynth.wordpress.com/

I have been working on a diy drum machine for a while now. I wanted to post this video to show it's functionality.

The core of this drum machine is from an electronic drum stick. You swing the stick and it makes drum sounds. The stick made 3 sounds; Snare, bass drum, and high hat.

I rigged it up to a 555 timer and a 4017 decade counter and some pots and switches, and away it went. There is still some glitching that happens I think because of some switches which aren't wired to ground to de-bounce them.

Like I said, it's a work in progress.

thanks for watching and check out my blog.
