- Yann Morvan and Richard Lee are seeking an investment of £75,000 for 5% of their computer-based air drumming kits but Touker was 'amazed' they had the audacity to step in front of the Dragons with a valuation worth a staggering £1.5M.
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

@@ShadowLynx777 Yep! I agree!👍😂
Ahaha, for some reason I thought of Count Dankulas Mad lads, before I realised what you meant.
😄😄😄
That bit just seemed idiotic on their part. Like, are they seriously gonna expect every potential investor to go out for drinks with them and become best friends? That just sounds like an idiotic mindset when you're talking business.
Not sure why Touker is so mad, they were offering 5% which should enable him to get out of bed.
He is a guitarist. So no drum for him.
hes mad because they were smart. they had a good idea and knew it would make money had it been given the opportunity. these "dragons" are exploiters of up and coming entrepreneurs for profit
The only drumsticks Touker gets out of bed for are chicken ones.
Because he's arrogant and he believes he is the only one that is right.
Great comment. Lol!
"You both are not the only experienced people on the planet"
POWWW! 😂
i literally paused after that comment and laughed
My mother tongue is French and I even didn't understand what he said. Thanks for writing it down 😂
👌🏼
I like his bluntness 🤣
@@Alpha32ify That''s because he wasn't speaking French, have you ever seen Allo Allo? 🤣🤣🤣
Looks like Touker woke up on the wrong side of his spacious bed.
Never seen him start off so angry 😂
BeGood 2Me ye not the fact he’s a multimillionaire successful business man
BeGood 2Me you mean not an all white dragons? You sound like a bigot
BeGood 2Me There’s no argument to be had your ignorance is there for all to see.
@BeGood 2Me That might be true but Touker is a fenomenal dragon who deserves his spot on the show. He's my favorite dragon next to Deborah. Also, this is a tv show made for entertaining. It doesn't matter how successful you are in business, if you're not entertaining on screen you're out. Touker is entertaining AF.
"You're not the only experienced business people in the world" that's something that's needed to be said for a long time to the Dragons
That was a bit arrogant and perhaps a sign of naivety. They shouldn’t have gone in the den in the first place and look for other experienced business people. The truth is that their product is a joke. That thing wouldn’t teach any serious person how to play drums trust me;let’s be serious. They haven’t proved anything yet but they have this arrogant spirit. I was surprised the two Dragons didn’t declare themselves out before
@@sacramento6444 putting aside the product he is right. There are a lot of business people even more accomplished than Peter Jones and Nick Jenkins. I'm not saying Peter and Nick are not accomplished, it's just part of negotiation strategy. If you let them think their your only option they would ask for half of your company. Some people go to Dragons Den for a free advertisement. After all it's a TV show.
They're right! Asking for 40% wtf. What the entrepreneur meant was if I needed another investor...There wouldn't be much of the company left for another investor to join.
@jmh harris All the 'real drummers' are missing the point. Do real soldiers complain about Call of Duty games because they don't let you fire real guns? Do pro golfers complain about Wii games that let you hit a golf ball on a virtual course without any real clubs? Musicians are some of the most stuck-in-the-past people on the planet, especially rock drummers and guitarists, they will resist change and complain about new technology until they are blue in the face - as you've seen in this video's comments.
@jmh harris If you just want to make the music , the resistance etc don't really matter once you get used to it.... (i get that people like the "feel" of physical resistance more' , this makes the process hassle free.
Touker: Offers Office Space
Aero drum: uses less space
Touker: 😤

now that makes perfect sense!
So that's why he's mad. Haha. I finally get it. 😂
"you are not the only experienced business people on the planet"
Lmao Peter had no answer to that.

@@wthwasthat8884 Telling an investor "I can just find other investors" isn't the best idea.
Yeah but when one of them says "Oh I have a music education business that could literally use this and make you millions" its like, how many of those are on the planet?
@@Sugarman96 It is when that investor is trying to leverage you under the guise of being the only solution to your problem.
That made me laugh....:)
Why is Touker so angry? He could have just said, "You're valuation is ridiculously high, I'm out."
He was trying to impress Peter Jones
He’s a diva!
I'm glad you noticed that. He became so angry.
He's on his monthly menstrual cycle!

As a drummer I found this to be more of a novelty than anything else. That said I just looked them up and the company in 2021 is now worth an estimated $10 million.
And remember folks, net worths are 100% accurate. Your favorite celebrities thank you.
Im a drummer too - I agree its more of a novelty but I can imagine how many kids would get into drumming after receiving one of these for Christmas or a birthday. IMO it is best suited for kids who want to drum and parents who cant afford a kit or deal with the noise.
it reminds me of Guitar Hero a bit.
it'd be good for kids trying to get into music but they don't have to make the full commitment
@@12XxXHandlesAreStupidXxX123 why is it a novelty tho? Im not a drummer but id imagine it does the same thing?
I’m not a drummer, but the first thing that struck me is that you’re not hitting anything and therefore not having any bounce for the sticks especially for the snare.
If I had a penny for every time Peter says "You're going to regret this" I wouldn't need a dragon investment.

"20% Is too high, that's 4x our original offer. Our counter offer is 10%"

The craziest part is that it's actualy 8 times what they offered because he wanted to give them 1/2 of the money for 4 times the equity stake offered. It was an outlandish offer, of course.
"As of 2021, the company is estimated to be worth about $10 million."
seems like they did OK without giving up a huge chunk to the dragons :)
"estimated" by who?
Also £10m is a verrrry small sum in the business world.
@@oxymoron02 still a huge growth since this episode, when the dragons said that 1,5 million valuation was silly.
the estimate is probably based on sales, debt and so on.
What investment have they accepted since? That is the question. They may have realised there mistake over the equity share and actually accepted a similar offer to what they received from the dragons. Who knows
@@cheemus1275 that is true, we dont know :)
No there not it’s my brother it’s went now we’re so stop liering
Ive seen it commented a couple of times already but I need to say it:
“You both are not the only experienced business people on the planet”
The greatest ever line I’ve seen in dragons den
Ebiegberi Adonkie I’d normally agree with that angle, it’s definitely the more mature approach but I did take some guilty pleasure in seeing them being knocked off their high horses.
As a drummer my self as soon as I saw this on dragons den I went and orders some online and they are quality! Also Aerodrums are now in all the major music stores in the country so they are doing ok from what I can tell. I think the dragons missed out to be honest.
Shill. They dodged a bullet. As even an amateur drummer I can tell these are pure overpriced gimmick. You will never improve as a drummer if you go from this to playing real drumheads and cymbals.
@@FungusMossGnosis This feels like a product for people who would have never thought to own/learn a drum kit in the first place.
@@FungusMossGnosis putting in 10 hrs a week on this kit is better than 0 hrs a week on no kit
The moment i saw that pitch, i knew this could be the next big thing. I used to play the drums as a child, now been playing guitar since about 15 years. I still wanted to get back into drums. But there is no way if you life in a flat. Even E-Drums are too loud to use.
While its not everything you need to learn how to drum, it would give me a way to practice at home, something which was simply impossible for me until then. And i know that this applies probably to most people playing drums, or who want to play drums. Its just a loud instrument.
If the response is good and it is good at reacting to different levels of attack and such, yeah this would be great
reminds of when Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory learned how to swim without ever going into the water, claiming that the skills were "transferable"
That was funny, at the end, with the dragons trying to make each other feel better.
Would love to see Nick Jenkins back in the den, one of my favourite dragons.
yeah i like Nick a lot, but my all time favorite is Richard Farleigh.
Richard Farleigh did diddly squat on the show
But erm... He's right there... In the video...
@@Deffa7 not true he invested more during his time on the show than anyone else at that point.
@@Deffa7 Richard Farleigh invested in Levi Roots Reggae Reggae Sauce along with Peter Jones. That company became worth over £50 million.
Love it when you catch Peter laughing on the end when another Dragon starts a rant.
The way Nick looked up at the ceiling towards the end when they questioned Peter...
This is one of the best products I've seen in the den. It's really the dragon's lose. Kudos to these guys for sticking to what they believe it's worth, because this product is awesome and so cool!
Funny how he said going for a drink first is needed before the deal is made 😂
Twats 🤣

Suck on them
Dragons wanted deal so bad they shrugged off the “jab” of “ you are not the only businessmen “ and asked for equity clarification answer

Not "5% each", they turned down the offer of being disrespected by a bullying oaf that owns part of their business.
Good for them!
It's always funny how they calculate "they turned it down for 10%" no - they wanted to give 10% of the company away, the offer was 30% so they turned down the deal for 20%. Also dumb manipulation by Peter "10% is HAAALF of my offer", yeah then let's always start off with 99% offer and then cry how the inventor wants to lower it by NIIINE TIIMES. lmao this guy
@@Paciffic they were willing to give away 10% each to Peter and Nick
Man what a brilliant idea. When I was young in the music world we all had guitars and a few even had bass guitars. Only the richest kids had drumsets. The thing stopping everyone from getting their bands on track was always finding a drummer to join the band. Every drummer was in like 5 bands simultaneously. The rest had to create simple drum tracks using software
"The Aerodrums company net worth would need to be estimated but their recent revenue is £12 million per anum."
They went into VR/AR experience to further add to the experience.
Touker: It’s too small
Producers: You ever seen music production plugins ?
He'd have a heart attack over Waves OneKnob
Been a drummer for a while. Played in all kinds of venues. Studio experience, the works.
I can say for sure the sound quality is as good as any electric kit and you can load sounds.
(Edit: The same kind of sounds lemme tell you, a lot of mainstream producers themselves would load in their keyboards, and happen to sell pretty well. Just saw the comment about this being a gimmick)
the technique developed during air drumming actually transfers over to the real kit very well
I just placed an order.
For reference, with a drum module, rubber pads and similar sound quality, you would have to pay 600 minimum.
I'm a big drumming nerd and am telling you, this is a quality product. I will be posting drum covers as soon as this product arrives
Can't wait
Got mine coming today and I can't wait! I'm gonna make aerodrums glad they walked away 😎
A clash of personalities? Touker shouted at them for 2 minutes then declared himself out.
Incidentally, Touker autocorrects to toilet.
The problem with this is that the actual physical drums are of massive importance to determining and helping your technique
I can play like Steve Vai on an air guitar, less so on a real one
This exactly. More expensive v drum kits are actually constructed like actual acoustic kits specifically for the purposes of stage presence and, more importantly, physical feedback. Literally any electronically modeled instrument graduates in cost and quality as it begins to physically emulate its instrument. I understand the beginner appeal I guess but I highly doubt it would gain reputation as anything other than a joke among more experienced players.
Awesome reference! Lol
I mean, as the technology progresses, you could be gigging with air drums. Basically it should be viewed as a separate instrument from traditional drums, from a playing technique stand point. Agreed, though, that it wouldn't be good for developing drumming technique for actual drums.
Hence a massive market because most people aren't looking to learn the actual drums, they are just looking for a fun time
Actual physical drums also costs a lot more, and take up a lot of space?
Aerodrums is now worth $10 million. Kudos, gents! 💰
They are still in business, Fictitious Capital LTD, but Richard Lee left this year. As of 2018 they had only 250k assets, quite small

@@toproudtooadmitmitsake1842 Lighten up. It just a brief casual conversation, with anonymous people, about a subject that has very little importance... Do you fact-check every single bit of information that you come across when talking to random people? Or, are you sometimes agreeable because you have no reason not to be?
@@toproudtooadmitmitsake1842 I agree, I am deeply shocked that Christine would just blindly accept that random assertion without any clarification and having done no research into the claim herself. What is becoming of humanity when people just don't do their research? Research is so important. People need to learn to do their research because without their own research and only relying on another's research, how they the research that the other person is claiming as sound research be actually trusted as sound research? Well, it can't, and as you say, that faulty research is why people believe in the flat earth. I would hedge a bet on this example of unsound research that Christine believes in UFO's, 911 conspiracies, area 51, alien's, and other things.
Did I miss something? Not all the dragons declared themselves out before they considered the offer from the 2 boys
The clips over time have been trimmed more and more to only highlight the interesting stuff for us, even though it can be quite confusing to know when a dragon is in or out :P
I thought that... Deborah hadn't made an offer or declared herself out had she?
All drama aside, this is an entirely separate instrument from drums. Anyone starting out on this would have a hard time transitioning to the actual instrument and would probably have to unlearn a lot of bad habits it would encourage. If noise is an issue electric drums would likely still be a better option.
Yeah, almost like real drums have rims you can hit, resistance from drum heads, actual other pieces of kit that you could hit...so many "little things" that would have to be learned/relearned/unlearned.
Touker is in one of his angry rant mode, he's is normally so chill.
Dont need to be a drummer to be able to tell these would be a useless replacement for a real drum kit. I'm pretty sure there needs to be the physical feel of bounce back and vibration amongst other nuances.
This is exactly why an electrical drum kit is the only closest thing. Closest not exact.
What about haptic feedback with these sticks that might make it “more” realistic
yip. learn on this and then put someone in front of a real drum set and watch them fail. LOL.
It would have sold as a "gimmick" though to enough people to make it viable.
No heavy or voluminous kit taking up a whole room and you can wear headphones while pretending ....
You can create a shock vibration in the drumstick to give sensation of bounce back
You can use these to practice when you don’t want to use a real drum.
On vacation
When your neighbors complain a lot
If you can’t afford to buy a drum kit.
I don't know why Peter Jones was so surprised by the rejection after he spoke to them like that. I wouldn't want to work with someone who behaves like that.
This episode probably gave them so much publicity. Now i wanna buy some even though im not a drummer.
They actually went on to have a very successful business
Some people on the show never seem to understand that its not just equity for money but equity for money and everything else they bring. Nick literally said "I have a musical education company" and they still noped him because he asked for less than half the company. The money they'd make from keeping that 30% would be far less than if they gave it away and Nick and Peter used their connections. It felt like Nick and Peter knew exactly what to do with this too.
30% of a company is massive and leaves absolutely no room for any other future investors, the dude was absolutely correct that there are other successful businesspeople in the world and if they give up 30% to one guy then there's no way they can work with those people.
And it looks like they were right since the company went on to be a success
Chill out with the Thumbnail, looks like Peter dropping F-bombs!
This might be the best product I've seen on dragon's den.
This is the only time, I'm happy the ppl walked away from an investment. Tuka was way too harsh and Peter just wanted a good deal for the investors not too much for the two guys.
Hope they get another investor soon.
I don't play drums but that actually looked fun and makes me want to play.
Peter body language was like darn, I missed out!
they got a great offer
I wanna see what Dragons Den episodes they watch where afterwards they go to the pub to discuss it.
Hehe, Yann from Aerodruns. Sorry should have watched more DD before going on it. Seriously though, I assume the people who say yes on the show pull out if they find they don't get along with their "Dragon(s)"
Did I miss Deborah giving feedback? She hardly said anything the whole time!
They edit down the videos a bit for TH-cam so it's possible she did say something
yeah deb and the other lady didnt say if they were in or out, ive watched heaps of these and they always atleast show them saying they're out or make an offer.

They edited out the dragons saying I'm out
They'd never edit out the declaration for Jenny.

Software can be kinda janky
And that’s as of 2 days ago
This is the only comment worth reading... The rest of the drummers remind me of the days when ppl couldnt imagine making phone calls without pressing physical buttons...
As a drummer myself I thought this was a cool product and could see myself using it but the software looked very clunky.
@dread true there is nothing in my comment that talks about replacing drums, nor the OPs comment!
I was wondering how accurate these are... I'd imagine any lag would be the death of the product. How are they in that regard?
Chris Jones we have not experienced any lag at all, which is awesome!
The issues we have are with loading some samples and getting them on the correct “drum”
Once you have your samples locked in, it works flawlessly
I love how the drummer at the end kept looking at the guy as he blundered and insulted the dragons, wondering what on earth he was going on about. Then he steps in at the end, clearly not thrilled about it to turn down the offer to save his partner, now that's a friend.
One of the key aspects of understanding and learning the drums is mastering and manipulating the rebound from the drum heads and the fulcrum pivot on the drum sticks. As a drummer I would never want to use this product
'5% each Deborah says. I recall her not accepting a 5% reduction when she makes an offer. 2 faced and double standards.
@oktopustrainer No not at all, when it comes to a deal, your consideration is irrelevant, Anjum is absolutely right.
quite right, they get all offended when asked to drop 5%
I generally like Deborah's attitude in this little game show. But in this case she did seem to show a bit of a superiority complex.
It's a business proposal. 5% probably means a lot more to those inexperienced small guys than to a wealthy dragon.

Hehe, fair enough, but like most Dragon's Den offers, it wasn't really serious valuation wise. It's a show:)
@@aerodrumming It is and they are. Granted behind the scenes is where the real negotiation takes place but they have to pitch their company and worth in what you see. Whether the real company value is accurate or not is only part of it, if its a ludicrous amount with no facts to back it up then the dragons will rip you to pieces.
Joke was shite as it was already told by the commentator. Unlucky.
This was possibly the best combo of dragons on the show
I must agree I would buy one ! I knew my parents could never afford drums nor do they have the space and time for me to learn. This would allow me to do it all ! Brilliant
This is literally a homebrew version of rock band lol
Hello, Yann from Aerodrums. Well in Rock band you have plastic drums that take a lot of space and make a lot of noise when you hit them.
@@aerodrumming good luck getting a rock band drum kit. Those are sold out everywhere. I think this would pair better with rocksmith. Use it as an educational instrument which makes sense.
Imagine going to a show and just seeing this 😂😂
Peter Jones fabulously demonstrating the need to go out for a drink before closing!
Good on them for knocking back the deal.
There is absolutely no way somebody can learn to play drums with this. It's like saying you can learn to play guitar by playing air guitar
this!
Exactly, rebound is half the battle of the sticks
Potentially possible with VR.
@@rustynail9516 not really, you need an actual guitar to properly learn
@@crystalbutterfly2758 lies.
I always smile when the dragons says 'do you know the amount of work that its going to take to get this product to market'... all they will do is get someone to run it for them, check in now and again and thats that.....
To be honest, as somebody who's interested in drumming but lacks the space or money, this seems like a great product.
This product isn't made to teach you how to drum, since theres no stick rebound. If you wanna play real drums without sound, electric drums are your best bet.
As the guy above stated e-drums are a way better option.
e-drums without sound? the sticks hitting the plastic can sometimes be too loud for comfort
@@nrxvi6441 You are obviously using e-drums with headphones, that's the whole point with them, they are made to have same stick rebound as real drums but the sounds goes straight up in your headphones instead.. they are also pretty cheap. With Aerodrums, you won't get the stick rebound, which is the basic/foundation of drumming, the way the stick bounce and how you control it. Someone who's good at Nintendo wii bowling/tennis can't use that set of skill to play PHYSICAL tennis/bowling. This is just a simulation drumset designed for drummers who can already play but need to bring a set with them on for example a tour, which is a good thing. But for beginning playing drums, this is useless. I don't know how to type it to make it more clear for people to see the common sense here.
This isn't drumming
Wicked product and awesome battle by the Entrepreneurs!
Their VR version of this looks pretty neat (on their website)
It's basically a "Wi" that can only play drums and it's not really a teaching product, the novelty value will soon wear off and then it's back to the drawing board.
Lol not really. Far from it in fact.
The only thing similar to a Wii is that it traces the position of the controller
Yann from Aerodrums, check out my replies to others about learning/teaching.
Pulled the dragons pants down these lads
That was a hardcore hook at the beginning haha
Touker threw his toys out of his pram re: the valuation instead of making an offer in line with what he thought it was worth as what Peter and Nick did....
I find it crazy on a show where they regularly offer 5-7 times the share in the company originally asked for they still get so upset about the high valuations
effin ell for 10% each for that small investment of half each, that was super generous of the scientists. I am glad they are worth 10 million now.
I just love that he said "nice" after the dragon retreated XDDD 5:04
Damn, have these dudes never heard of music production? thats enough of a market within itself. For portable use with DAW's
As someone who played multiple instruments for all my life, including drums, I can see why this product would work for those who doesn't have space or money to buy a real drumkit. BUT, yes here comes the BUT; Playing airdrums wouldn't teach you one of the most important aspects of drums, the "resistance" from hitting the drums. The resistance helps you with your speed and how tight you play the rythm. I would instead invest in a electric drumset, which isn't more expensive than the airdrums, and with the electric drums you will get the "real" feeling that you would otherwise lack from playing airdrums. I dont wanna sound like a negative andy but the demostration drumming was very basic and he still played out of rythm, which is expected when you have no physical indicator hitting the drum.. Good idea but filled with flaws.
The lac of "feel" is certainly a major drawback but imagine you're on tour, sitting in a small hotel room. Even a small set of synthdrum pads may be too cumbersome, bulky and/or noisy in such a situation but with Air Drums you can still get some valuable basic practicing done.
@@tessjuel I agree on that part, it for sure can have a good use for some in a specific settings.. But the foundation of drumming is stick rebound and how you control the stick, that's how you get your technique, rythm, speed etc..
With the Aerodrums you could sit in your hotel room and maybe improve a drum fill, sure, but then again, since its a different type of playing, you will play it differently than on a real set, making the transition very different.
People who are on tour often soundcheck hours before the real concert to get warm in their clothes, they often have so called "green rooms" with their sets already preconfigured where they go through the last preps, because the real sets are what matters.
As I said in other comments, i completely get why this could be a good products, but it's definitely not a product you learn to play drums on, as the guys pitched in the episode..
My conclusion; If this truly was a revolutionary product that every drummer needs, they would be popular, and you would see famous/professional drummers use them.
@@guitarsolos89 I think we agree for the most part. These Air Drums should be a very good aid for mental exercises but although mental exercises are very valuable for any musician, they can never replace real practicing on real instruments. It's certainly not for beginners, you need some basic technical skills and experience before you can use something like this.
Brilliant comment, thanks!
I would sell it to Sony or Nintendo. They would definitely buy it for a few millions. They spend that on R&D
