  • Description

    OmniDrum is an all new concept on electrical drum kits. This idea is a ground-up creation of our vision for an electric drum kit. We seek to capture the feeling of a traditional acoustic drum while giving the user greater control over the instruments they wish to have. Modularity is a forefront objective. We wish to have as many instruments installed at once as a fully featured accoustic kit may have. It would also allow granularity to each instrument for the user to assign a sound. Precussion instruments can become very large and very expensive. Our users should not need to worry whether they have an available space to practice and neither should they have to worry about damaging such expencive property. This kit would offer a smaller package size and greater durability to traditional drum kits. Practice to your hearts content with no fear of noise complaints! Our OmniDrum can be 'reasonably' loud or it can be quiet to reduce noise pollution. Play with a headset to really jam out! Audio passthrough to a headset can help isolate noise for when you wish to focus. If you wish to record your session you can! Not only will you be able to record the sound of the instrument, it can be saved to MIDI data. If you wanted to change an instrument from a past recording you can load the MIDI into your sound software and change the assigned sound for that sensor. The OmniDrum has all the power aspiring musicians desire!
