Hyper Robot Drummer Can’t Stop Drumming

Hyper Robot Drummer Can
This “Yellow Drum Machine” looks more like a small construction type of bot then an actual drummer, but don’t let his looks fool you. He’s talented. He will more or less wander around your house like a caffeinated teen, searching for “playable” surfaces. It creates and combines samples on the fly into rhythms. One cool feature is that when it hears you making noise or clapping, it will join in after it measures the speed.

Check out a video of it rocking out on a glass of lemonade after the jump.

There are some interesting points on this article but I don’t know if I see all of them center to heart. There may be some validity but I’ll take hold an opinion until I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we would like more! Added to FeedBurner as well.
