Some things to get started
Gear up with a couple of pencils and some office supplies, each one with unique acoustic characteristics, to drum on!
Use headphones for best result.
To link a drum to a real physical object
1. Hold down a drum pad until it starts glowing.
2. Release and tap a real physical object several times (4-8) while the light fills the circle.
3. When the linking process is done, the rim of the pad will glow.
The app recognizes sound, so for the app to work at its best, the sounds you link should be different and distinguished. While you are playing, hit the object the same way as when you linked it.
To unlink a drum
1. Hold down the drum pad for one second. The rim stops glowing and is unlinked from the real physical object.
To change a drum sample
1. Press the menu button.
2. Slide through the different sample albums.
3. Click an album and then drag n’ drop the sound icons you want to use onto each drum pad.

Alesis introduced the 2011 edition of the DM10 Studio Kit at the 2011 NAMM Show.
The new version features Alesis’ new four-post StageRack with upgraded clamps and high-quality mini-boom cymbal arms.
“For 2011, we’ve continued to raise the bar, without raising the price,” according to Alesis’ Dan Radin.Alesis DM10 Studio Kit
The StageRack is the backbone of the DM10 Studio Kit. With its sturdy four-post design and industry standard, 1 1/2-inch tubing, the StageRack provides excellent stability under the most energetic performance.

Drummers will appreciate the StageRack’s large wing-screws on most clamps, enabling them to make quick adjustments without reaching for a drumkey or other tools. Large enough to accommodate additional drums and cymbals, the StageRack takes up a fraction of the space of an acoustic kit.
Drummers worldwide have taken notice of the DM10 Studio Kit. Its impressive combination of the DM10 high-definition sound module with Dynamic Articulation™, six RealHead drum pads and four DMPad cymbal pads delivers peerless value.

Kinect doing Dubstep using Midi Control
The Kinect has now been hacked to allow a user to play a virtual 5 piece drum kit, as well as being able to dance to create music using synthesizers. The software: New Wave Instrument Fabric allows a user to connect both the Kinect and WiiMote up to various Midi devices and control up to 19 midi control channels simultaneously by dancing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e0XaeZSW-g
XBox Kinect hooked up to PC doing dubstep music controlling midi software synth with the right hand and hardware synth + fx processor with the right hand. This has to be the coolest thing I have ever touched, that includes the last motorbike I came off. To play it you have to dance; otherwise you lose sync with the oscillators and beats, I can’t believe how #’@@***ing Sik this is to play with!!!!!!!!
