Portable Electronic Drum Set, Air Drumsticks, Pedals and Low Latency Camera, Quieter than Practice Pads, more Reliable & Accurate than Electronic Drum Sticks, Play Drums Anytime, Record MIDI

I’ve been learning drumming for just under a year. I wanted something quiet, highly portable and compact that I could take with me when away in our caravan, and that I could play later at night or early morning at home. At first I was attracted to the Bluetooth drumsticks option as it looked so simple. But they were very poor (see my review of AeroBands). The camera/light/computer requirements of AeroDrums initially put me off, but after watching many excellent user videos, I gave them a go. And they are amazing!! It took me a few sessions to get used to the technique and drum positioning, and I still have a way to go with them, but they are great fun to play. The samples are high quality, and the user interface is fairly intuitive. There’s a User Forum with loads of advice, which is reassuring given there are many other happy AeroDrummers out there. So don’t be put off, they really work!

I really wanted to like this Aerodrum kit as the idea is fantastic, and I regularly produce music at home. However, my experience was frustrating and disappointing, it's a great idea, but the execution of this product is quite poor. Drivers and software were difficult to get working on Windows 11. The software itself looks unfinished, and has bad design with menus and problems with graphic settings, so doesn't work properly out of the box. The actual drumming experience was frustrating with impossible to reach snare drums and mis-hits all the time, so not playable. Space wise you actually need more room than a regular drum kit or electronic drum kit. This is because the camera has to be around 1.8m awa from you. Also my camera also seemed to be out of focus all the time, even when moving back and forth to adjust focal length. Lastly, the quality of the kit is like a toy and the camera in this kit is actually from a Playstation 3. Considering you can buy a real physical electronic drum kit for around £200 which works better and is quicker to setup, the Aerodrums for £150 are definitely not worth it and a gimmick.

I've not been able to spend a long time playing with these, but first impressions are very good. For the price the sensitivity, amount of potential triggers and respose outweighs drum controllers of 5 times the price. Excellent value for money. Very easy to plug and play and built in drum samples are brilliant, most noteable is the range of expression with the Hi Hat pedal and the fact that the ride also has a bell in the default set up. A couple of issues are: 1 - Light sensitive. It just flat out won't work if (like me) you're restricted to having your music set up in a light room (conservatory), in the summer. It has worked great when I've used it around dusk and I'm sure will be fine in a proper room. 2 - Connecting to MIDI. Can be done and isn't that hard, however does take a bit of tweaking and time to work it out if you're not used to using external MIDI. The main use I want is to use it to trigger Superior Drummer. Took some figuring out even though it's simple due to a bit of a lack of troubleshooting on webiste. Appears to work well once it's sorted, however I've not had time to get deep into it. 3 - Build quality. When I took it out of the box, it does look like something that was put together in someone's garage. In particular the whit light ring that sits around the camera dropped and broke from the securing ring almost instantly. Easily fixed with glue, but still didn't sit very well with me. When considered against the very low price it's not a deal breaker, however if you're on a very tight budget £100 may seem a lot for what you physically receive. Ultimately, however the whole package is more than worth £100. Overall a groundbreaking bit of kit that will open up more expressive drums for the user who is tight on space and cash. A few operating niggles with MIDI and restrictions regarding lighting, but in anyones case worth the money in my opininon. Definately NOT a gimmick.

You have to specify in great font that you must buy separately the Playstation EyeCamera!!! Or maybe you can include the camera in the box because the price is very high! The product works.

I'll make this a bit longer since it's such a new idea (relatively new, I guess I'm somewhat late to the party). Been playing with this for about a month so I have a good idea of what I like/don't like about it. It is a little bit tricky to start using, but once you get the hang of it, it's very good. The idea behind it is that it tracks height of the drum sticks when it stops falling (i.e., lowest point of the drum stroke) and the horizontal position of the drumstick across the screen to map a 3d drum set onto a 2-d video image. Interesting, and seemingly gimmicky, but it works, and it works pretty darn well. Of course, the biggest selling point is how portable it is. I used to march percussion and know how important it is to practice on-the-go. Some things I don't have a ton of experience with, but can talk about are the accuracy and latency. I can't say I've had the most experience with a real drum set, but I knew very quickly that my time literally air-drumming had caused me to develop some bad habits (i.e., I knew the motions of drumming, but had no accuracy when starting out). This would result in a lot of unintended cross-talk, as well as hitting the wrong drums because I wasn't used to hitting a drum in one spot consistently. This is something I learned fairly quickly, and the program did well to recreate a real, static drum set in this case. I'm a musician and play the bass (rhythm-intensive) so I can feel when something has even the slightest bit of latency. When this program says 2.5ms latency, they mean it. It's amazing. However, in order to reach these levels of latency, you do have to set this program as the only one using the audio output, meaning you can't also playback music from your default music player. Of course, Aerodrums includes a built-in music player (which is a bit clunky, but that may change with a later software update), and I've decided to output my Aerodrums and phone (as the music source) to a mini mixer (Behringer Xenyx 502 is perfect for this). Aerodrums also lets you record audio, both as an inclusive .wav file and as a multi-track output (a .wav file for each drum/instrument). Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised. I was expecting something that would only work half the time and I would probably end up selling or returning due to it being too gimmicky, but once you understand how exactly it works and what you have to do to get the most accurate drumming experience (which doesn't take much, just a bit of patience and willingness to reconfigure the drum layout) it can become a great way to create realistic sounding drum tracks. Looking for maybe an updated UI in later releases, as well as an ability to simulate brushes and cymbal choking (two things I thought I heard the guys behind Aerodrums were hoping to implement in the future).

Avantages: - La sensibilité de la batterie est impressionnante. Comme en réalité !! des sonorités de très bonne qualité - Logiciel compatible Mac et Windows - Avoir un Aérodrum est très pratique pour les déplacements si on a un pc portable/macbook. prend très peu de place, rentre dans un sac à dos. - on peut créer autant de sets de jeu qu'on le souhaite. Inconvénients: - Tout est écrit en anglais vu qu'il s'agit d'une première version - Paramétrages un peu difficiles à comprendre au début (si vous n'êtes pas très bons en Anglais comme moi) mais on s'y fait rapidement. (entre 1 et 2h me concernant) une fois compris c'est simple à utiliser. -Lorsque l'on place les différents éléments dans l'espace pour composer sa batterie, ce n'est pas facile de les placer parfaitement au début vu qu'on les place dans le vide), mais à force d'essayer, on arrive à trouver le bon placement. Possédant déjà une batterie éléctronique, je pense que chaque type de batterie a ses avantages et ses inconvénients. Il est donc selon moi intéréssant d'avoir les 3 types de batteries si on en a les moyens et l'utilité. Ma batterie éléctronique me permet de jouer sur une batterie matérielle sans déranger tout le monde autour, (on a les sensations, mais ca fait un peu de bruit quand même en tapant dessus) L'aérodrum (vu qu'on tape dans le vide) ne fait vraiment aucun bruit (juste le bruit des pieds qui tapotent sur le sol), c'est facilement transportable, mais n'est pas conseillé aux débutants qui n'ont pas une maitrise parfaite des gestes de bases (prise en main des baguettes, le rebond) par risque d'attraper une tendinite. La batterie acoustique, la vraie, l'unique, est parfaite pour le sons, le touché, les vibrations, mais prend de la place, fait du bruit et est difficilement transportable. En un mot, je vous recommande d'acheter l'aérodrum,parce que pour son prix, c'est génial et toujours pratique d'avoir ca dans sa poche.

Dear Seller, Aw man. I was so looking forward to this as an alternative to going to the practice space. I cannot set up my drums because I live in an apartment. It’s not that the product was of lower quality, or something was missing, it’s just when I went to set it up. I don’t know what happened. I’m not sure if the room that I was in was too small or perhaps I had the camera too close to where I was sitting, or maybe the fact that I am 6’5”, and I did not fit into the allotted space that was provided by the shadow outline. But I could not get this going to save my life. So I just abandoned it and it’s been sitting since the day it arrived. This should come with more than a few words , set up guide. Could not troubleshoot this item out of its coma. Sad drummer Thomas Clarke

Produto cumpre 100% o que promete , obviamente que não é um coisa pra quem tá iniciando na bateria , e não , não é um brinquedo como tem muitos aí no mercado 😅 Valeu apena cada centavo 👏🏽👏🏽

ほかのレビューにもあるが、かなり暗い部屋でないと使用不可なのと、毎回セッティングが面倒くさい。据え置きしておいてもカメラの角度や位置が少しずれていても正確に反応しないので毎回セッティングは必須です。反応速度においては遅延などは感じず概ね満足ですが、3D画面にした時にグラフィック設定が毎回必要なのと、タム類の反応する位置が狭く分かりづらい。タムとシンバルと誤認識しやすい。自分で配置するモード（カスタムドラムセット）しかバスやハットの反応感度設定が変えられない。同モードしかシンバルチョークが出来ない。そして思った位置に配置しにくい。画面内と簡単な取説は日本語だが、アップデートの際のサイトは全て英語でどうやったらアップデートできるかわからない。スマホやタブレットでアプリから3D画面を表示できるようだが、出来ない。 サクッと気軽にドラム（のような物）を演奏したい、という要望ならKORGのクリップヒットの方が良いです。エアロドラムスは演奏までにパソコン、スピーカー、畳約二畳分の空間、面倒なセッティングが必須となる為です。しかしこのエアロドラムスの最大の売りは、一般的な電子ドラム（擬似ドラム）による最大の弱点である不要音（パットの打撃音）が皆無というところだと思います。パコパコ邪魔な音が無いのは、やはり叩いていて気持ちいいし周りの迷惑にもならず画期的。 演奏の動作による騒音はほぼ無いので、集合住宅でも苦情は来ないと思います。当然空振りなので、リアルなドラムの練習になるのかは？です。色々と不満を並べましたが、私としてはパコパコ音が無くドラム演奏（のような物）が出来るというだけで星4つです。数ある擬似ドラムに手を出してきましたが、今のところこれが一番かも。パッドタイプの電ドラをヘッドフォン爆音で演奏して不満がないって人ならエアロドラムスは要らないかもしれません。あと全くのドラム未経験者ではこの商品を活用するのは厳しいかなとも思います。
