Air Drum Machine - "DrumAnimal"

It's time to start the music, it's time to light the lights....  Dedicated to Animal.

A while ago I responded to a call on the 'b3ta' mailing list which asked to able to play the air drums.  So, I created a Flash application that does movement detection using a webcam and plays drum kit sounds when certain parts of the screen/camera detect movement. You have in your kit: a snare, bass, kick,  symbols and a hi-hat.

I originally envisaged people just using their hands to tap a rhythm, but I discovered some people posted about using their tongues! Which is up close and personal!

You could also stand at a distance and dance to the beat of your own drum.

SWF

put your alternate content here to show if Flash does not load.



Note:

On Mac OS X the default webcam selected by Flash may not be appropriate, so you may have to open the Flash settings to change it to the built-in iSight.  For example:

Right Click on the Flash App:  Settings->[WebCam Icon]->[Camera DropDown]-> [ Select: USB Video Class Video]

I have a small $2 payment pending since the month of March and it doesn't look like I will be paid. Many members have lost out on their investments. I was lucky enough not to invest anything (love bracelet cartier replica) on this site. Totally useless site, just a waste of your time.
