To celebrate the release of our latest publication, the Make: Ultimate Kit Guide 2012 (and its companion website), we’re giving away at least one of the cool kits reviewed in the issue each day during the holiday season.
Today’s giveaway is for the Drum Kit Kit for Arduino and the new Arduino UNO Revision 3 (a $48.94 value.) Here is web ninja Jake Spurlock’s review from the issue:
Turn anything into a drum set with your Arduino and this simple kit. some makers build custom drum sets from fine hardwoods, while others take the easy route and make practice sets from mouse pads and sheet metal. Instead of building my own, I used the included piezo elements to trick out my Rock Band drums, hooked them up to my friend’s Yamahas, and gave him a few more drumheads to tap. With software like Garageband or Ableton Live, you can start making music right away. Simply map your notes with the Arduino sketch, and start recording.
