Hands Free Drum Kit

Read full description

Turn your iPhone into a motion-controlled drum kit and play drums in mid-air — no screen tapping required. Hands Free Drum Kit uses your iPhone camera to track the movement of your fingers and turn those movements into drum hits. Move your hands, strike the virtual drums and start playing. Your fingers become the drumsticks. Most drum apps ask you to tap drum pads on a screen. Hands Free Drum Kit is different. Instead of pressing buttons, you physically move your fingers in front of the camera to control the drum kit, creating a completely new way to drum on iPhone. AIR DRUM WITH YOUR FINGERS Raise your hands, move your fingers and play. The camera detects your finger movement so you can hit the virtual drums without touching your phone. It is simple to understand, fun to master and instantly feels different from a traditional touchscreen drum simulator. A DRUM KIT YOU CAN PLAY ANYWHERE No acoustic drum set. No electronic drum kit. No drumsticks. No extra controller. Just your iPhone and your hands. Set your phone up, get your fingers in view and start drumming. Practise rhythm at home, jam along to music, experiment with beats or simply see how fast you can play. WHY HANDS FREE DRUM KIT? • Motion-controlled drumming using your iPhone camera • Play drums without tapping the screen • Control the drum kit using finger movements • Turn your fingers into virtual drumsticks • Practise beats, timing and rhythm • A fun alternative to traditional drum pad apps • No physical drum kit or extra equipment required • Quick to pick up and easy to play anywhere MORE THAN ANOTHER DRUM PAD There are plenty of virtual drum kits and drum pad apps for iPhone, but most work in the same way: tap a picture of a drum and hear a sound. Hands Free Drum Kit changes the interaction completely. Instead of bringing your fingers to the screen, the camera watches your fingers move through the air. That means the act of playing becomes part of the experience. You are not just tapping buttons — you are air drumming and controlling a virtual instrument with motion. It is a drum simulator built around movement. PRACTISE RHYTHM IN A NEW WAY Whether you are a drummer, musician, beginner or simply someone who loves music, Hands Free Drum Kit gives you a different way to experiment with rhythm. Use it for: • Air drumming • Rhythm practice • Drum beat practice • Casual jamming • Playing along with music • Testing your coordination • Having fun with friends • Trying a completely different kind of music app NO DRUM SET? NO PROBLEM. A real drum kit takes up space, makes a lot of noise and is not something you can carry around in your pocket. Hands Free Drum Kit gives you a virtual drum set that goes wherever your iPhone goes. Open the app, position yourself in front of the camera and start playing. You do not need to own drums to enjoy drumming. BUILT FOR THE “HOW IS MY PHONE DOING THAT?” MOMENT Hands Free Drum Kit takes something your iPhone already has — a camera — and turns it into a new kind of music controller. There are no game controllers to connect and no drumsticks to carry. Your hand movement is the input. If you have ever air drummed along to a song, tapped out a beat on a table or wanted to try playing drums without buying a full kit, this was made for you. PLAY. PRACTISE. JAM. REPEAT. Turn up your music, put your hands in front of the camera and start playing your own beats. Discover a new way to play drums on iPhone with camera-controlled motion detection, finger tracking and a virtual drum kit designed to be played in mid-air. Your hands are the drumsticks. Download Hands Free Drum Kit and start air drumming.
