The plurality of pants has been a problem I've also been considering lately, when explaining why scissors are also "a pair" to my kids. My conclusion was that you have two blades on scissors, hence it's a pair. So if you'd want a singular "pant", that would mean just a single leg (ha!). It also makes more sense if you follow the legs down and arrive at a pair of slippers/socks/shoes. Ok ok, back to the video. Update: Ok, that was cool! Pretty nice stuff, kind of similar to what my work colleague did for his eng. diploma ;) Also, sure you might not be a drummer, but you're sure as hell the first in the world.. *Pantser* (Ba Dum Tsss!) PS. Totally thumbs up for the heat inserts, that is satisfying to watch. A good engineer knows that things are always bound to break. The trick is to know when and how (and to be able to access those places later for troubleshooting ;)
A while ago I did a project for university that also involved MIDI over serial (although in the other direction) so at 8:56 my brain immediately fired a bunch of neurons when I saw the hairlessmidi and loopmidi UIs fly into the PC 😂 Anyway, fun idea and really nice execution! I found you from your last video and will definitely be sticking around
Hey! I know its late because you already have some time playing but, welcome to the musicians world! It was exciting see this video, specially as someone who has the exact opposite path, i started playing guitar and later become so interested in how does the instrument (and other things like amps, pedals, midi keyboards and edrums) work that spend hundreds of hours researching and learning some basic acoustic and electric engineering
I love it! however, you MIGHT not want to go near airports and highly populated areas wearing it as most people aren't going to think midi drum kit and more umm well triggers for some other sort of device..
Given the following animation, I'm pretty sure that wasn't actual cereal but just a word play around getting serial output via the USB to work properly. Still, he might've eaten Cereal with coding the serial output, so who knows...
Hey this is cool but every time I've tried to build a midi drum kit I've been upset because I just drummed too fast for it. How fast can you drum with this system?
I was playing around with different BPMs and couldn’t seem to find a point where it would start messing up for me but at the same time I can’t do super fast rolls or anything. Initially, when I was programming the Arduino, it seemed to give me more triggers the harder I hit the piezos so thats why I added the debounce time stuff to the code. For my setup 150 milliseconds debounce time felt good, which just means it waits 150 milliseconds before it allows the next hit to be registered from the same sensor. This can be easily changed and from setup to setup I’m sure this value would change. Debounce time seems to be a simple solution to a more complex problem so it might not be one size fits all.
It would be nice to have midi shoes for controlling the base drum and high-hat pedals

Everything’s better with MIDI! This is a great idea.

Really cool, might have to make myself a pair of pair of MIDI jeans
Great idea and way to do it bro!! Excellent!
Also, you could try different velocity curves in your DAW to have more natural variation in your instrument

8:48 How was the cereal? (love the accurate time depiction, with corresponding names)

This is awesome! Keep it up!!
lovely keep it up !
banger after banger
0:35 my name is mud
can we somehow add midi control to the pant's zippers? I'd like to hear a poorly made midi fanfare whenever I piss.
God yur genius

almost instant response

@iturnknobs well I'm building a form of this then. Maybe a drum skirt...
Can they be machine washed?
Someone sent this to @the drum thing 😁😁
