The 'Freedrum' drum kit offers users the ability to play the drums just about anywhere they are without the need for any physical drums or symbols. The 'Freedrum' system works by being slipped onto a standard pair of drumsticks and being connected to a smartphone. Users can then play air drumming to their heart's content, while actually creating sound that they can listen to with or without headphones.
Funding now on Kickstarter, the 'Freedrum' drum kit is designed especially to work with iOS and Garageband, which means using iPhones and iPads make for the best experience. Regarding usage of the 'Freedrum' system, the attachments are lightweight enough to not really be noticed on drumsticks and will provide up to a week's worth of drumming before needing to be charged.
