Well, first I want to thank Yann & Lee for this wonderful tool. If there was a drumming science Nobel price, you would have won it! I am 73 years old. Due to severe health conditions, I had to give up drumming 15 years ago (jazz, blues, funk...). Guess what? I started again thank "Aerodrums ". There ist nearly no mechanical overloading of the joints, and of course, no noise emission in my flat. I have a small studio and, thank you again (can't say it often enough), I started to work on a small recording project. 50 years ago (GB was not yet in the EU!), I worked two years at Ronnie Scott's in London (starting 1968 at the new opening in Frith street, with the Buddy Rich big band). I had drum lessons with Tony Oxley, who was Ronnie's big Band drummer. Today, I feel like being back in my twenties! Greetings, Guy, alias "Old funky hand"
Would you recommend someone who's getting into drumming to try this out ? An acoustic drum set is not ideal at all and a decent electronic drum set cost allot.
How cool that the 10y old tech is still relevant today... There is like nothing better than this, with all the bluetooth air drums, im stunned how can you get such accuracy by slowly lifting the leg and hi-hat will actually register it. Big kudos to aerodrums staff for making these vids
Can I encourage you to upload a video showing how to set it up for double bass? I think it would be much more interesting to watch a video showing that it isnt difficult or it doesnt require extra money to modify the internal drumset its self.
I just can't get a response like this from my aerodrum kick no matter what I try. The camera is fully clockwise, I've set the height to 29" and slightly to the left, I've changed the sensitivity settings up/down/anywhichway, the room is dark but it never gets a consistent double like you demonstrate here. The rest of the kit seems fine but I'm really frustrated trying to get the bass drum working like it appears here and in other people's videos. I'm now wondering if the camera is not quite working correctly. Any advice?
If the tracking of the drumsticks is working fine then it wouldn't be an issue with the camera. When on the drumming screen, can you see 4 coloured circles corresponding to the two drumstick markers and two foot markers? These should always be visible while drumming and never disappear or flicker. You mention problems with double strokes on the bass drum but can you play single hits fine without any issues? If so then it is probably just a case of needing to develop the right technique. Most people find it much easier to play the bass drum with heel down instead of up so I would try that (if you're not already) to see if you get better results. All you really need to know is that a hit on the bass drum will be triggered when the foot marker moves down and comes to a stop (from your foot hitting the floor). If you still believe that there is a technical issue that is hindering your ability to play the kick drum please send us a message through the contact form on our website and we can help you dig into it further.
Do you have to hit the floor hard with your foot to trigger the pedals? My upstairs neighbors e-kit is unbearable even with a tennis ball riser due to being an old vintage building with wood floors. Was thinking about suggesting this as an option to end the noise war. Foot steps are pretty audible from above so was curious what people try.
Hi, no you don't have to hit the floor hard. Take a look at some of the videos on our UA-cam, or www.aerodrums.com/aerodrums-in-action/ . You'll get an idea of how people are using. You should also check out some of the videos on instagram.com/aerodrums/ and facebook.com/aerodrums. Good luck.
Increase the sensitivity as I tried turned it to full 100% sensitivity to have a constant volume with less strength. From drumkits tool you can choose volume and sensitivity
+Harry Pelling hmmm, yeah... I can't do doubles myself so I don't know what the motion looks like precisely... I think I'm right in saying it's based on the response and mechanical motion of the pedal, it's probably a very subtle movement not necessarily in a downward direction. I doubt it's possible yet but I'm sure they could figure it out
heels up is not working for me, the device can only detect a movement in the reflective square when it moves up and down, but it does not trigger when you only change its inclination by moving the ankle
That's correct - hits are triggered when the reflector moves down and comes to a stop. If you suspend your foot in the air (heel up) and tap the floor then it should trigger hits. Perhaps with your foot technique the reflector is moving sideways but not moving enough in the vertical direction? If it's not working the way you expect, there could be another issue. Feel free to contact Aerodrums support and we can help further. If you can include a video showing your foot movement that would help a lot.
You don't even need bass drum pads, just get some rope, or a strap, and attach its first end to the head of your drum beater, and the other end to the back of the pedal (I screwed mine onto a wooden plank so it wont bounce), and you'll have a bass drum rebound

@@xoxo-pp7ru This is as good as it gets for air drumming

The future of drums! Amazing product. Congrats.
Thanks Richard and Yann for an amazing product!
This video is very usefull, it'll help me with some foot issues that I had. Thanks Richard and great playing!👌
Are you like me playing heavy double bass stuff with heels up? Ive never played heel down because it never felt natural to me
What an amazing product. Wish you much success with it.
Very cool!! Thanks for taking the time to make this video; it definitely assuages any fears I had!! I want one of these!! Thanks again!!

Excellent!!, thanks for posting!! Exactly what I have been waiting to see. Great Demo!!!
Excellent video men, this explain all i needed to know. Thanks for sharing.

Where do you buy the pedal pad at 2:45?? Anyone knows? what does it call?

Great video. Thank you 😊
Rick Allen would like to know how many foot pedals can he have?
Really cool man!
Can you please upload a video of you proving that a heel toe kind of technique is available to use with aero drums?

Never thought I could teach drums til I saw this. This is literally a dream (mostly daydreams) come true.
also fake ass adidas lol.
KSWISS?
amazing
fucking outstanding.

lo que me impresiona mas es su sonido, suena mucho mejor que baterías electrónicas que cuestan incluso más caras
Gracias Juanito, contento de que estés disfrutando de aerodromos!
Bro 💕 👌
how about a double peda?
drum octo He did it at the end of the video.
You don't even need bass drum pads, just get some rope, or a strap, and attach its first end to the head of your drum beater, and the other end to the back of the pedal (I screwed mine onto a wooden plank so it wont bounce), and you'll have a bass drum rebound
I would like to see a picture of it!!!
@@aroldl.7149 me too
Ahh so thats how you do it... 😅
