hydrogen drumkit

Posted by becks

Here my first drumkit for hydrogen, maybe is not yet ready, but anyway…

The drum is a ludwig epic jazz 100years series, and the cymbals are zildjian K series.

I used shure sm57 for snare, and rhodes nt1a for others samples (and sp vtb1 as a preamp). No effetcs, no compressor, no verb, nothing.

Here you can download the first alpha version

This drumkit is released under CC by SA license

Here you can listen a demo , and here the h2song (the amen break)

Drumming With WiiMote, Hydrogen and Itouch

Posted by becks

i wrote a little program that send midi signal to drum (hydrogen) with wiimote controller, using perl api (Linux::Input::Wiimote). In this video you can see also Drummer, an application for the apple itouch

you can download the script here

before running the script, you need to load snd-virmidi, and attach the midi jack with hydrogen. Edit also the script to change your wiimote mac. Be careful, this works for me, but is released with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY ;)

the audio on this video is not a great groove… is just a noise demo, sorry ;)
