Created by Keith McMillen, the 'BopPad' smart drum pad enables musicians to create their own kind of custom music without having to invest in multiple instruments or accessories.
Funding now on Kickstarter, the 'BopPad' can be completely programmed to have specific functionalities that are desired by the user. This includes creating specific tonal feedback that can enable musicians to create even more with less equipment using the power of advanced sensors and computer technology.
The 'BopPad' smart drum pad is packed with a series of sensitive sensors, but that doesn't make it easy to damage. The product is rated to take a beating to ensure that continued usage won't render any of the components broken. Those looking to get their hands on one as soon as June 2017 can pledge on the product's Kickstarter campaign page.
