DrumsAnywhere will turn ANY surface (e.g. a table) into an 8-Piece Electronic Drum Set. Your Drum Kit will be velocity sensitive and with MIDI output. Ideal for learning drums, capturing drum ideas or just enjoying drumming anywhere without carrying a whole drum set with you.
How it works?
1. Attach a microphone into your surface. A contact (piezo) microphone is recommended.
2. Indicate the position of the virtual drum pads by tapping 3 times on your table
3. That’s all! DrumsAnywhere software will do the rest. Use a drumstick, a pencil or even your fingers to play your percussion.

• Creative uses of Drums...
Features:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Velocity-sensitive and highly responsive
Just like the expensive electronic drum kits, DrumsAnywhere is also velocity sensitive. In simple words, this means that the harder you hit the surface, the louder the drum sound will be. This allows you to play drums very expressively. Capture the nuance and the expressive power of the human drummer.
* Low-latency performance
For drummers, low latency is very important. There must be no audible delay between the time the drum is struck, and when the sound is heard. DrumsAnywhere is optimized for ultra-fast response.
For this reason, ASIO compatibility is provided. DrumsAnywhere will work with ordinary (non-ASIO) sound cards as well.
* High quality digital sounds
DrumsAnywhere comes bundled with quality percussion kits suitable for different styles of music. (Acoustic, Rock, Jazz, Epic, TR-808, Classical, Dubstep, Latin.)
You use your own sounds as well. Your imagination is the limit.
* MIDI output
DrumsAnywhere can be used as a MIDI controller as well. It can send MIDI output to the software of your choice (Cubase, Logic, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, VST/AU plug-ins, etc.). Record your performances as MIDI files.
* Technology
The heart of DrumsAnywhere is a proprietary algorithm called WaveTrack.
As the surface is hit, the acoustic impulse causes multiple reflections in the surface. Those are analyzed by WaveTrack algorithm and the precise location of the impact is pinpointed. Only a single microphone is needed.
If you are interested in using WaveTrack in your application, we would be happy to discuss with you the options.

IMAGINE IF SOMEONE BROUGHT THIS INTO CLASS AND JUST STARTED DRUMMING WHILE EVERYONE LOOKS AT YOU LIKE YOU'RE A WIZARD THAT'D BE SO FUN I HAVE TO GET THIS
This is clever as hell and it's not too expensive. I may just get this if I can ever afford a table LOL
Oh damn U don't have a table?
Drum?
This is pretty cool! Doesn't come close to an actual drum kit, of course, but it looks fun to mess around with.
Pretty incredible. I love that they're velocity sensitive. Only thing, I would need to rig up a kick for my foot.
This has hella potential. Imagine switching out the drum sounds for any sounds you want. you could make hip hop, dubstep, whatever right there on your table

Mom's gonna love that!!!
contact microphone is needed for best results
At first I thought this was a joke, but it actually works! I haven't tried it but it works! Nice job DrumsAnywhere Team!
This is the collest thing I have seen in the last months.
I don't play any instrument of any kind, but this is too cool. I wish the designer gets rich off of this. GOOD LUCK.
+Hankerson Photography Thank you for your kind words!
just tried the demo and it's so awesome. I really wanna buy it but I don't know if my parent will allow me so yeah hahaha
+Zar lising Thank you for your kind words. Let's hope that your parents will have the same opinion with you :)
You guys should make a piano version of this although I think it would be kinda complicated but it would be amazin
Witchcraft!!!!!
+Bam5000000 Haha, Wow
Looks great for practicing chops and dynamics. Wouldn't recommend for playing actual songs/beats as it would likely be a bad habit to start playing the bass with your wrists instead of feet
Thanks for your note. We discovered after the making of this video that you can actually use your feet to play the bass drum. See this video: czcams.com/video/8PRBx5o15-A/video.html
Thinking here .....
so lets say I get a few practice pads(or wooden round surfaces) attach mics to all put through a cheap mixer and send to the PC I am gonna ASSUME there are software setting in the PC to set each point of contact cause you are delivering a LOTTA dynamics info for it to just to KNOW where you hit how you hit. Are we taking the cheapest most portable drum kit ever ?
I love drums
wtf thats so fricken cool!
i got one for Christmas. SO COOL! SO FUN!
Can you beat that/
THAT Is COOL Man! Thanks! I.ll Check It Out!
Very Fresh
AWESOME MAN!!!
Holy shit I am buying this!
Cool!
Very cool concept guys! Would love to learn more about who is behind it and why it was created?
+The Songwriting Team
Drop us an email. You will find our contact information in our website.
if this really works,,,,I want it!!
osakaben10 It definitely works! Try the free demo found in DrumsAnywhere website.
Are you attaching triggers underneath the table?
+Rim Shot No. The innovation of DrumsAnywhere is that you need only just one (1) piezo microphone in order to have 8 virtual drum pads. The software can tell position you hit just by analyzing the audio. No need for separate triggers for each pad.
That literally does not make sense.
How doesnt it? Or are you logically disabled? Sound is a wave. Waves bounce off of surfaces. You dont need to actually mark anything, its just so you can remember where each pad would be. I can only assume that set up would be required each time you hook it up. "select pad one. Hit pad one location" you hit the spot where you want it to be, and the microphone can pic up that specific wave, and the angle that it comes into the microphone. And by setting each pad in the system, each time you hit it, the analysis software can then acknowledge the differences in the wave structure of each spot on the table, and produce the sound from that, "pad" in accordance with.
If you dont believe me, go find a table, take a pencil or something of the like, and with the same amount of force hit the table in a bunch of different spots. The sound produced from each spot will be different. You can hear it with the right ear.
This works I tried the demo blew my mind wow!! But too expensive
Good news. 50% off until end of the month. See: www.drumsanywhere.com/buy.asp
cool drum beat
Oh SCREW the cure for cancer man .. THIS IS IT .
Nobel prize is in the mail ... FED-EX actually.
Awesome man
I can finally table drum?!? I need this as a plug in...
It would be awesome to set up as a control surface too so you could not only play instruments other than drums, but also control the DAW by tapping the table. Would 2 of these put together be able to achieve such a thing?
Eric McKinney DrumsAnywhere provides a virtual MIDI port, so you can use it as a control surface.
I would buy this if you could some how draw some "X"'s on the ground for your feet as well. Cool idea hope this progresses.
+Nick Nasca You can! See our 2nd video here: czcams.com/video/8PRBx5o15-A/video.html
You've sold me on it then. I went your website does the pro pack come with a microphone?
No, we do not sell a microphone. You can find many inexpensive ones (under $5) by doing a search for "Acoustic Pickup Clip Contact Microphone" on ebay. Alternatively you can find one at your local music shop: ask for a contact microphone for acoustic guitar.
COOL STUFF...
I need BIGGER drums than just those tiny little Xs . Can you make BIGGER Xs?
Del McTarsney The X marks are for your own reference only.
its work. thank you so much
5 octave marimba? That would be the shiznabble!
This is great. :) All I need is to find money to buy a Computer.
how do i get one NOW?
+RezzDawg Nation
Just visit www.drumsanywhere.com/buy.asp
Cool
Ha that's so cool.
What happens if somebody near you is playing another instrument, or just making noise, and the microphone picks it up? Does that confuse the program?
Liz R DrumsAnywhere is not effected by external sounds. It will continue to function properly even if there is are loud sounds nearby.
DrumsAnywhere Team god that's so great
Well no. Actually nothing is projected in the surface. The system is entirely acoustic and not optical. However, the external sounds do not interfere with your playing.
As the surface is hit, the acoustic impulse causes multiple reflections in the medium. Those are analyzed by WaveTrack algorithm and the precise location of the impact is pinpointed. For the first time, only a single sensor (microphone) is needed.
It is a regular contact microphone. It picks up the vibrations of the table.
*****
Thanks
I think this is a really cool idea! I just have a couple of questions: 1.) Is there a certain radius that you hit or do you have to hit exactly on your marking?
2.) Can you do more complicated beats like a drum roll and that sort of thing? And 3.) Is there a way to calibrate it to where you can have a drum sees ion with your friends on the same table? Like, for example, three snare drums on the same table? Thanks! 👍😁
Elijah Masterson 1. The active radius depends on type the surface you use. In most cases, there is no need to be very exact with your hits.
2. Yes! DrumsAnywhere responds very rapidly. You can play complicated, very fast drum patterns without a problem.
3. Yes you can place any instrument at any position you wish. So three snares at different locations is perfectly possible.
Thanks! I'm definitely going to have to save my money for this!
Thank you! If you have any further questions, we will be happy to answer.
I stand corrected.
cool
awesome
This was the first thing that came up when I put in drums. Not saying it isn’t cool but maybe it shouldn’t be the first thing that pops up when you put in drums
we need to thank our dear French mathematician Fourier for inventing the math that is making this possible
Fourier is one of the geniuses we have to thank indeed.
not sure if i like the bass drum being assigned to something you have to hit with the drum stick.,
STILL COOL THOUGH!
+Manny Phoenix Thanks for your comment! You can use your foot to trigger the bass drum. Watch this video: czcams.com/video/8PRBx5o15-A/video.html
realy clever. Your T-shirt with ΦΟΥΓΑΡΟ rocks dude!!!!hahahahahahaha
Thank you Thanos!
WTF!!! Unbelievable. Great technology. Does the program cost as much as a kit?
***** Thanks! It costs only a fraction of a drum kit's price.
I have a professional kit. But, this is something you can put in a suitcase and take anywhere you go... Vacation will never be the same again! Thanks.
Exactly that is the point. Besides, add the fun factor of playing drums on any crazy surface you wish!
Wow
How would the computer recognize each sound based on a written word and letter x using a dry erase marker?
This is a new technology developed by us during the past two years.
As the surface is hit, the acoustic impulse causes multiple reflections in the table. Those are analyzed by a complicated algorithm and the precise location of the impact is pinpointed. Only a single microphone is needed!
Need an OS X version.
Wait but how does it know what you're trying to hit? If you can say, mark a "snare" anywhere on the table, would that mean that no matter where you hit the table it will always be a snare?
BeenieBomb No. The software detects EXACTLY the position you hit on the table. Each point triggers a unique sound. See our website for more details.
DrumsAnywhere Team Ooooh okay so you assign different instruments to different hits on different points on the table. That makes sense now :)
you dont get the same feel without a bass and highhat pedal if that was added i woul dbe intersted
Yah and what's the thing u have to download called huh?
www.DrumsAnywhere.com/
OHMERGERD.so cool
Still have to resolve the pedal kick drum tho
You can simulate a kick drum pedal! We discovered this after the making of this video. See how here: czcams.com/video/8PRBx5o15-A/video.html
whaaaaat. and its so simple.
For a second there I thought you were crazy.
24$ for the cheap one 60$ for the pro one
Will it work with marching percussion?
cooooooooooooool. if I hit it very quickly, can the software response ?
+吴炜 We know that fast drum audio response is very important for you and every drummer. There must be no audible delay between the time the drum is struck and when the sound is heard. DrumsAnywhere is optimized for ultra-low latency, so you can enjoy natural playing without annoying delays.
If you need even faster response, ASIO compatibility is also provided. Of course, DrumsAnywhere will work with standard (non-ASIO) sound cards as well.
Can you guys make a setup video on how to use this item?
There are full on-screen instructions which are simple to follow. However if you need any help, feel free to contact us. Visit www.drumsanywhere.com/
how can i connect this little mic into my pc?
please reply.
How can you put the kick on the floor while the other drums are on the table ?
Yes you can! We will release a video next week demonstrating this.
Mike Thompson Any updates how to put the kick on the floor while the others are up in the table?
Wow thats amazing
I want one but can't see where the accommodation for the foot bass drum and the high hat pedal are. Does anyone know where the accommodation for the foot bass drum and the high hat pedal are set up for this?

How does the app know which areas correspond to which sound?
As the surface is hit, the acoustic impulse causes multiple reflections in the medium. Those are analyzed by the DrumsAnywhere algorithm and the precise location of the impact is pinpointed. For the first time, only a single sensor (microphone) is needed.
how
Mac PLEASE
Having not tried your format,I would suggest a tie in to the classic Akai MPC's ability to sample and sequence.Why the limitation to just 8 trigger points?
MrJGRUDGE Thanks for your suggestions. More than 8 pads would be very CPU-intensive. This would induce a big latency in most systems.
Seems easy enough
The only thing that I am wondering is where he got that table mic. It seems very useful since the mic is right on the table, and not hovering above like a condenser on a stand. Or do they work too?
+Firemarioghost
First, any regular microphone will work just fine. However for better results we recommend a contact microphone.
You can find many inexpensive ones (under $5) by doing a search for "Acoustic Pickup Clip Contact Microphone" on ebay. Alternatively you can find one at your local music shop: ask for a contact microphone for acoustic guitar.

how can you accurately trigger those separate sounds with one contact mic?
+Dustin Smith That is exactly what DrumsAnywhere software does. As the surface is hit, the acoustic impulse causes multiple reflections in the medium. Those are analyzed by our software and the precise location of the impact is pinpointed.
+DrumsAnywhere Team that's crazy! I will keep following you folks! thanks

DrumsAnywhere DrumsAnywhere shouldnt you need really sensitive microphones and at least 3 mics to triangulate the position where the sticks are hitting? Also you would need information about the material ... i dunno... i looks and sounds kinda fishy to me.... EDIT: It seems thay I was wrong, it really works...u just need a good mic...
Toni Blackbird I keep seeing the word "microphone." is it a microphone or a trigger DrumsAnywhere DrumsAnywhere
It is just a ONE piezo microphone. DrumsAnywhere does the magic and gives you EIGHT (8) pads.
See our website for an explanation on how this works.
Well i can explain it in simple terms, because the surface cannot be perfectly even and homogenous, it makes slightly different sounds in different spots. When you run the program you tune each drum for the spot and when the program hears that specific sound it plays the sound.
Cool👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
sound like a movie scene
i dont understand how this works..unless u place pads in the spot u wish each drum/symbol to be at?like there has to be some way for the app to know what spot your hitting on the table besides just a mic being clipped to it
Before using any surface, you have to "train" the software in order to learn the position of your drum pads.
This is done simply by tapping a few times at the position you with to place your virtual drum pad. This is all DrumsAnywhere needs to know in order to detect your hits later.
Wrong. "Time of flight". Unless your material is perfectly homogenous you'll find that any two spots can, with the initial 'tuning' (training of the electronics) it will have the distances recorded and you've already determined where a given location so it plays the proper sample for it. Presumably, when you hit it harder, you get a higher impulse response and the microphone just passes that on to the device. Actually, I was expecting there would have to be two mikes for spatial orientation, but apparently they've solved that problem. As noted by the actual & professional drummers by this time, there wouldn't be the same aesthetic feed-back to your hands because EVERYWHERE is just is as hard as anyone else and hitting a cymbal feels a lot different than hitting a tom...
Zoz the Freep - lots of rhythm but absolutely NO sense of timing (as my dum and bungle corps fiend used to say.)
Also, will the sounds still work if you mark the positions a bit larger than what was shown in the video?
+DeathMachineJoe Yes, it will work!
Is drums anywhere able to be used for recording with our favorite audio editor?
Yes, you can use it with your audio editor software. Since it provides MIDI output, you can use it with your sequencer too.
Can I make mine all cowbell
Yes, you can assign the virtual pads any sound you wish!
This would be worth it if it had a virtual MIDI out to use with something like FL Studio or Pro Tools. Does it?
artixsoftware Yes it provides virtual MIDI output.
How do I get that extra hand to come in and help
This is cool and all, the only thing that annoys me is that you have to HIT the kick.
+Toastroasters Now you can use your foot as well! See our next video about the kick: czcams.com/video/8PRBx5o15-A/video.html
how does it work?
+clay Burk See the explanation in our website www.drumsanywhere.com/
What makes this better/different than Makey Makey?
john ewell
DrumsAnywhere is better because of:
-No extra hardware
-You can use anything (e.g. drumsticks) to hit the surface (not only conductive items)
-Velocity-Sensitive Drum Pads: Play Naturally and Expressively.
In simple words, this means that the harder you hit the surface, the louder the drum sound will be.
-MIDI output
...and the list goes on! see www.drumsanywere.com/
trippie
can you use a regular mic
Yes, you can.
Why do I need to attach the microphone to the surface that I am using?
This is how our software works. As the surface is hit, the acoustic impulse causes multiple reflections in the medium. Those are analyzed by WaveTrack algorithm and the precise location of the impact is pinpointed. For the first time, only a single sensor (microphone) is needed.
Wow..
you tell us about this cool thing and u dont tell us how much the mic is, how it works or anything wtf
+Exotic Gamer You can buy a contact mic for under $2. As for how it works, you should visit our website www.drumsanywhere.com/
Where would i get the contact mic
You can find many inexpensive mics by doing a search for "Acoustic Pickup Clip Contact Microphone" on ebay. Alternatively you can find one at your local music shop: ask for a contact microphone for acoustic guitar.
+Exotic Gamer Just visit our website to get your answers: www.drumsanywhere.com/
+Exotic Gamer I'm guessing it knows what sound to play based on what frequency is picked up by the microphone. Like if you knock on a table in different spots it will make different pitched sounds.
