Airheads ( Air Drums)

Airheads allow anyone to create music by simply playing the air. This touchless gizmo has two sensors sticks that are placed 2 ft. apart. The sensor sticks act as a hands free Midi controller and are able to sense both position and velocity. A player’s hands are able to generate different notes, and different velocities that have been preselected from any type of drum trigger MIDI and synth.

Players wishing to play drums can do so by plugging the sensor sticks into the midi trigger, setting the synth for percussion sounds, and simulating drumming in the air between the Airhead sensor sticks.

Players can select from up to eight different types of drums. For those who wish to play the sitar or other sounds is as easy as selecting that instrument and those notes to be played.

A schematic and parts list is available.
