About this item 【 Real musical instrument 】 Aerodrums uses a high-speed camera so you can reliably hit the drum you want. Everyone, including us, has failed to make reliable air drums with electronic drumsticks instead of a camera. 【 Takes no space | Really quiet 】 Aerodrums is a serious alternative to top brand, full-size electronic drums several times the price. And it is much quieter and much more compact. 【 Encourages good drumming 】 It is a myth that you need to hit things to drum. Many drum teachers recommend air drumming with drumsticks. It is natural and feels great. 【 7,000+ samples 】 We use that many professionally recorded drum samples. Like on an acoustic drum set, you can play soft, hard, and anywhere in between. And your hihat has many degrees of openness. 【 For every drummer 】 Perfect as a first home drum kit and complement to a practice pad. Or as a tool to play more often and longer. Or to record MIDI. › See more product details

I've been a big fan of the NAMM show for years, so I get the latest product release information. That is how I heard about Aerodrums. I bought the system (Aerodrums and Sony Playstation Eye Camera) from Amazon for a total of $178US. It came in 2 days (Am Prime) and I set it up on a desktop Window7 64 bit with i7 and NVidia graphics card. Works great. I've ordered a laptop with graphics card so I can gig with this as I improve my chops. It is both alike and unlike physical drums to play. Mostly, since it appears to have been designed by a drummer, is it like physical drums. Where it differs is that the precise height at which the drumstick reverses direction is not critical - it's as if the height of the drum skin can be where you want it. Similarly, the pedals 'move with me' left-to-right within a limited range. The sound is great, the samples are realistic enough, and I detect NO latency or delay issues.I play in 3 bands every week. I will introduce Aerodrums at one of my gigs soon, when I feel sufficiently confident and I have my laptop based system functional and I'm sufficiently familiar with it. I think that is the ultimate test - can you gig professionally with it?I hope to provide a further 'performance-honed' review in the future. Naturally, I'm imagining how the audience will respond - I've had a few neighbors and friends drop by to watch me drum and of course they are blown away. It really looks quite cool to see the apparent consistency and presence of the invisible drums. Now that I'm familiar with the system, I've tried turning off the computer monitor and just playing my Aerodrums 'in the air' only, which has helped my technique - similar in a way to turning off the lights while playing traps or piano or guitar - a good practice to hone one's technique.For recording, a MIDI output will be great, and this is promised by the developer. But I think this system will work as it is for performance. Of course, as a 'game' or a 'play-around-at-home' kind of thing, it is fine. However, I really DO think it is up to the rigors of public performance! And in case you were wondering, I have no connection at all to the developers, programmers or inventors or the company, and I paid full price for my system.In a jazz band I used to play in, the leader used to say 'everyone in the band laughs at the drummer' because the drummer is the first to arrive, takes a long time to set up, and is the last to leave because take-down takes so long. Not so with this system, as the 'teaser' video from Aerodrums shows so well.
