- Tapdrum MIDI Controller (16 triggers).
- WHAT IS TAPDRUM ?
- Imagine that we are able to use our fingers to play drum like guitarist.Playing and moving on the stage or small space or playing at home wearing headphone set without bothering our neighbours.We might use it with our favourite drum machines, PCs which have MIDI input/game/joystick capability or triggering any Samplers,Sound modules with MIDI input port.
- This playing style has not been developed well today .If you ever heard a group named Bela Fleck and Flecktones Band ,big chance that you probably recognized Futureman who plays Synthaxe Drumitar.
- Ok, If we have fingers on both our hand we should not have any problem to start it.But where we get the instruments ?. That's good question. If we have a piece of board and we are able to tap on it will be a good start.There is another easy way to learn these things. Sit down in the front of table or desk (any table or desk in our room )and try to figure out which part of our fingers will become main roles on this instrument. We might practice some drum or percussion patterns utilizing our fingers and some part of the hand.We will discuss the Techniques, fingers arrangement and building instruments.You might build instrument by yourself or we can build for you.
