afk-audio's drumbeam MIDI controller is innovative engineering

Main initial concern with this controller is the small surface area. Also, you'd expect a MIDI controller which is USB C only to be bus powered instead of requiring an additional power supply, considering. Also is it even possible to see the zone division when you have the pad mounted with the rubber facing you?

Great job guys. Lovely to see you guys collaborate!

Mr. Bean! hahahaha

great idea guys, I love how easily this would fit around my acoustic drums vs using my Roland 8 pad controller that takes up way more room around my acoustic drums in a Hybrid situation. I'll take 6 of em lol

Hey Floyd, I'm the freelance logo designer, have you forgot about me? :-)

Looks like a great product. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Big part of a product like that is the company behind it and the support both in hardware and firmwares.
I got Boppad but firmware needs improvements.
And who still remembers The Sensel Morph?

interesting, but what is the advantage of this, compared to e.g. using a roland spdx as midi controller?

Cool idea

Jam gave me some Pink Floyd vibes 👍🏻

This is really cool! I'm not a drummer but there are tons of things I want to do with it.

Really nice and ingenious midi controller! 🙂

really cool, I'm curious about $. is there a way to add a HI hat and kick drum triggers for trigger foot pedals? This would be an amazing addon and replacement to an say a Roland SPD drum unit/head which has those I/O.

This was one of the most inspiring devices i saw at superbooth a couple of years back!

Been following the drumbeam for a while now, glad to see more about the it, especially as it gets closer to launch. Great interface!

sounds like a 90ies pron soundtrack

Why the studio tour?

when will it be for sale on the market and how much?

we are entering the age of gearless gear 😎

Yet another useless stuff

This is very cool. As I've transitioned from playing acoustic drums and percussion to electronic kits, I've discovered that outside of midi keyboards, there is a total lack of straight forward multi pad triggers. I want the form factor of a Roland SPD SX with out all the internal stuff.
This Drumbeam is on the right path for sure!

Shame it wobbles on the stand. How long will it last?

Fantastic idea and execution. The instrument looks fun as hell. This channel is so authentic and unique. Cheers!

Floyd I think you would really dig wildwood Lightning
he was at knobcon and i picked it up, hes super nice and it has some really neat kinda.... uhhh nipple buttons? lol its really interesting i think its right up your alley

Awesome video. Thanks to both of you!

cool collab, great to see you and xav making nice music together!

Cool device. I played drums when I was a teenager, this device could quite interesting in combination with a groovebox or drummachine to play drum rolls or tom fills by hand. It’s quite compact too.

Thanks a lot for the feature. Really happy to see the drumbeam getting used in such creative ways.

It's like rototoms but even better =)

Looks pretty cool, hopefully they have really good solder connections. Would hate to have your usb connection break. Wifi or Bluetooth and battery powered would be cool. Hook to your phone on the go

How do you always have the weirdest gear? 😆 I can't say I mind. Not many people are making the same videos that you do. This video definitely shows how much you've grown since the Raspberry Pi days. I'm glad to see it.

Nice climate control. Great jam, with an 80th yacht rock vibe.

No pricing?

That was a ton of fun, and what a cool piece of kit to play as well!
Thanks for having me on the show mate, really appreciate it.

I really want one of these, or like two or three of them! I think it might be a bit difficult to take past that five pad split, but practice makes perfect. This thing is so cool.

huge thanks to the two of you for the great feature! 🙏🏼
drumbeam pre-orders are starting november 5, so make sure to follow us to stay tuned!

Realy cool device! Probably one of the most useful showed on this channel. Loved the studio and the jam. Nice song!
