Homemade Electronic Drumkit
In the winter of 2006, it was more fun to play drums than write my thesis. Due to the frustration of not having a drum kit at home, and no money to buy an electronic kit, I started playing around with building my own. This abomination is the result of that project.
Built out of old equipment, a handful of of "earbud" headphones, a sizable quantity of duct tape, and a cinder block, it is a serviceable practice kit. The only expensive components are the layla soundcard (there are cheaper alternatives now) and the kick pedal: no getting around the need for a real one of these. The major limitation is that the highhat is permanently "closed"
at the moment - there have been some great suggestions of how to work around this, but unfortunately I don't have the time I used to and this improvement will have to wait.
In this clip, I start with the ambient noise: ie, what the neighbours hear. Then bring in the kit - what is heard in the headphones. Finally, mix in the clip I'm *trying* to play to.
Neither the drumming nor the samples for this clip are very good, but it works!
Components:
Snare: practice snare with sensor -lucky find at Long&McQuade
Kick: kick pedal against cinder block wrapped in foam with embedded ear-bud
Highhat/tom: practice pads with attached ear-buds
Crash & Ride cymbals: dollar store frisbees with attached ear buds
Hardware: old mic stands and, well, a cinder block
Setup:
- earbuds run from various "drums" into a layla soundcard
- layla into PC running cubase
- drumagog plugin on each channel individually
- via drumagog, signal from earbud triggers selected sample
- drumagog is velocity sensitive: the harder you hit, the harder the sample plays
- although samples for a standard kit are chosen here, *any* samples could be triggered...
