drumbeam is an expressive, slim and flexible instrument for playing with drum sticks. Unlike static trigger pads, its drumming surface can be divided variably. Within each subdivision, the position can be detected to modify sound parameters. This allows precise and expressive sound control, e.g. of percussive synthesizers or samplers.
The instrument is equipped with a flexibly configurable optical LED interface for visual feedback. The surface material is designed to provide intuitive haptic feedback. Due to its space-saving design and low weight, the drumbeam is easy to transport and integrates better into a drum set than any currently available solution. However, it can also be used as a standalone controller or easily integrated into a DJ or producer setup.
