Abstract

The drum kit, which has only been around for around 100 years, is a popular instrument in many music genres such as pop, rock, and jazz. However, the road to owning a kit is expensive, both financially and space-wise. Also, drums are more difficult to move around compared to other instruments, as they do not fit into a single bag. We propose a no-drums approach that uses only two sticks and a smartphone or a webcam to provide an air-drumming experience. The detection algorithm combines deep learning tools with tracking methods for an enhanced user experience. Based on both quantitative and qualitative testing with humans-in-the-loop, we show that our system has zero misses for beginner level play and negligible misses for advanced level play. Additionally, our limited human trials suggest potential directions for future research.
