I❤this piece 2:35 👌👍 but... please make the cover some really ambitious music🙏 ... or if You don't want to do this, then whatever speed/thrash Battery style drumming? Pls
I'm intrigued by this concept and nice demonstration btw. A question for you about your experience with the product if you ever have time to answer. I would use this to practice in hotel rooms on the go for example, how does this product function for rudiment practice and snare stuff ?apart from beats as you perfectly demonstrated in the video.. naturally I can stick to practice pads but it would be cool if this registered double strokes well. Anyway, I do like the product no matter, one for me to Christmas list
Don't waste your money on it. Doesn't calibrate at all. Doesn't work worth a crap. Comes with the most confusing set of instructions I've ever seen. I've watched several of these tutorial/review videos of this product. And I got my hopes up because I trusted yall. Kristina, Cooperdrummer, and others. And now that I've tried the product myself, I can say there is absolutely ABSOLUTELY no way these videos of these people drumming perfect drum beats with the pocketdrum sticks are legit. No way. Sorry Kristina. I love your videos and love watching you. Same with the others I've watched. But I'm calling BS on this video. The product just won't stay calibrated past a few measures. When you hit a cymbal the first time then go back to hit it the second, its never in the same spot again. Overall its just a piece of crap product. I'm hurt that you and these other youtube drummers would recommend and say this is a decent product when its 100% obvious its not.
Travelling with those must be so much fun just to watch everyone’s reaction all around…. On a serious note, headphones 🎧 & get lost into the beat, the groove & let go..😊
Hey Kristina, nice review, great skill! I've tried these sticks recently for a few weeks. I'm just a novice with drumming. For me they worked OK-ish at home, took some time getting used to, no bounce back makes things more difficult (a workout of sorts), there's some drift when playing for extended periods so frequent recalibration was required. But they were not a good option for on-the-go play for me - they start to fail when several other active BT devices are around (for example I had a pair of BT speakers + BT on the phone connected to PC) - start to lag or just completely not trigger, and since sticks and pedals cannot be connected over USB directly, in the end I decided to return and stick to drum pads for now.
If your learning drums best use a practice pad at the very least, these sticks will end up driving you crazy with the latency & trying to find your virtual drums which it seems keep moving.
Wouldn't be so bad If aeroband wasn't a massive scam. They literally sue youtubers who give HONEST reviews. I've lost so much respect for the drummers that actually endorse this bullshit terrible product
I just bought this and can't wait to try it out! As a drummer that now lives in an apartment with no way to practice, i cant wait to see how it works out. Im not expecting it to be perfect, but from what you showed here, it should be more than enough. Thank you so much for sharing this. I cant wait to see how it performs!
I actually ended up returning it unfortunately. I could never get it to accurately detect drums consistently with over 2 hours of trying. It’s great for basic beats and simple fills, but impossible to do a roll on the toms or two different drums without it playing random drums. If I were a beginner drummer, it would be great, but trying to unlearn normal drum ‘mechanics’ to get it to work was too frustrating for me. All in all, it’s an amazing product, it just wasn’t worth it for me to justify the cost. Also, to get the best sound out of it, you really need to use the midi function and connect it to your computer with ez drummer or something similar, and that is also an additional cost. I am planning on buying an electronic drum kit instead.
@@rodrigoa958 I did the same and I love this thing! Not a drummer at all and I understand there's no real feel or bounce, rebound ect... but for those of us that have been life-long digit drummers (toes hands and fingers) it's really a cool thing for the money. I've not had mine quite a week yet but been having a lot of fun trying to learn with it. Things like calibrating in the correct orientation is important. Another is angle on the sticks. Flat for hi-hat, snare and floor tom. Angled up for crash hi and mid tom and ride. I am in the process of checking out some kind of Win10 compatible DAW and then where to get the VST sets for other drum kits. I did play with the Aeroband app some, went to level 6 on the practice or learning with no problem but not really interested in much more with the app. I've seen comments both ways but for a guy in his 60's it's fricken awesome considering the technology and what they have created with it. 😎
My best advise is as soon as you recieve them, send them right back. Out of calibration too often. Who the hell hits a crash cymbal 6 feet in the air? Could not get through one song.
You are super talented! Fun to listen to and watch so I wasn't surprised you did an awesome job with these. I've been checking them out with various folks and there's pros/cons but for those that don't already play you can't go wrong for the $$$. One possible path for many is to get these then decide after a while is an ekit the thing to move onto. 😎
There's a reason why you can't play anything other than a simple 1, 2, 3 4 beat with these things. They're useless. I had more fun using drum sticks without sound... just hitting air
And let me guess, they're terrible? It's OK you can say it. I too fell for these stupid videos, mainly 66samus who I've literally lost all respect for. How any self respecting musician can lie to their followers like this is beyond me
@Subilon I think it's more how much they'll sue her for if she says anything negative. I've seen a copy of the contract they sent to content creators and it's shocking. It basically says they can't be honest and all videos must be approved by the company before being posted. If someone can't be honest about your product it says a lot about the company really 😂 this is the most mis sold music product I've ever seen in my 30 years as a musician
@@philkasafir. yes you are probably right mate.But it’s worse don’t you think if she encourages people to buy a product that fails them and then they lose faith in the artist as well as the company! Someone said that 66samus is promoting this as well and they mentioned how they lost confidence in his videos.
Just got mine. I’m in no way a pro drummer but I played a 7 piece set in a garage band for bout 2 years. I cannot get the system to hit the right drum even after calibration several times. It’s probably me but seems I hit the snare and I’m somehow hitting the crash same time.
Watched every damn TH-camr with huge following and got these. Quickest return of my life. Thought I could save some space but nah. Back to ol reliable !
there's a few videos on it, drummers have returned the product many times because they're basically told they're not allowed to say anything negative. That's why all these respected drummers have sold out, aeroband pays them to kiss their ass in videos and it really pisses me off.
@@philkasafir. I don't doubt they get paid for positive reviews, its called advertising....As for negative reviews, that is an opinion, as such,there is ZERO grounds for a law suit. I think you been on "social" media a little too long mate, you need to get out and get some fresh air.
Yo tengo un aeroband y no se puede tocar tan fluido como los haces en tu video, se descalibran las baquetas ,hay alguna manera para poder tocar más fluido?
One thing I really respect about her is that she’s pretty but you can tell she actually is passionate about her craft and feels what she’s playing . I think that a lot of “musicians” use their instrument as an egotistical prop instead of a means of expressing what they’re feeling. You can tell when someone has it and when someone doesn’t, she has it.
Fair enough point you raise here with regard to the many an attractive player clearly seem to lean on their looks to help boost their viewership, and it's clear this drummers passion is so much behind her uploads and lessons that she clearly overlooks her own looks as any kind of additional pull to her channel. My own view though is , and as a super keen drummer, her looks isn't and wasn't a factor behind my viewing her work. The merit of musicianship and potential to learn is why I'm here. Mad so her looks are inconsequential for me just as another drummer with equal valuable lesson uploads but who could be deemed less attractive is only judged by me regarding the merit of their lessons and the like. She teaches me new things that I can add to my playing, she gives keen insights that show an expertise of knowledge and looks just don't come into the equation. That said, I agree with your point when regarding certain other channels that clearly market the individual rather than the knowledge of said individual. Essay for disregarding, like sharing thoughts haha
В моей школе в Израиле есть факультативный класс, вы можете выбрать стиль урока, вы можете выбрать, какую специальность вы хотите изучать, я выбрал музыку, игру на барабанах и электрогитару, и теперь ты объяснила весь принцип этого. . И я поняла, что ты, несомненно, самоя талантливая и понимаешь главное в музыке. Я люблю играть на барабанах и ты необакнавеная и крутая я очень люблю слушать твою игру на барабанах твои навоки и невероятные спасобнасти увликають и ты потисающея да здраствует рок-н-ролл. 🤘😜😂💜💜
I tried these and just couldn't get them to work properly. I ended up getting a small tabletop drum pad kit which is way better for me and actually paid less for it than the aeroband product.
2:27 -- can you do a video showing how to connect to Garage Band and show the drum kit on the screen? Also, can you show how to connect the PocketDrum to the Mac (cables, settings, etc.)? I tried to connect it but it won't connect on my MacBook Air.
Can this output to a mixing board/PA? It would be amazing to see a live band with a drummer playing “air drums.” Probably not quite there with technology, but a few iterations down the line, the reliability of signal might be solid enough to do without fear if signal loss. Great job! Peace!
Huh, you make some solid points! Under $200 to have something usable and portable is nice. I'm not too familiar with MIDI anymore(use it or lose it, 😅) but is it possible to add more audio depth to the hits? They sound a bit.. same-samey and very digital, especially when just demoing how the product works. It definitely sounds better through the DAW, but it still seemed a little flat with some electric crunch. Thanks for any help!
Thanks to Kriss here, I just picked up one of these today on sale off Amazon (Aeroband is doing an anniversary sale) and Aeroband's website says the Pocket Drum 2 Plus includes a USB-C to MIDI cable. That implies I should be able to run the MIDI cable directly into the Roland Integra-7 in my studio, and play the amazing SuperNatural drum sounds I've programmed into it, right out of the box (without a keyboard, a drum pad or an electronic kit)!! MIDI is just an instruction set. It tells a digital instrument what notes to play, how to play them, how to modulate them, etc. It doesn't make sounds on its own. Sometimes you can still change the sounds, if they're programmed to respond to MIDI modulation. But my guess is you can't alter the onboard samples for the Pocket Drum using MIDI, they're baked in as-is, but you can use MIDI to route the Pocket Drum into the drum module or virtual plug-in that you prefer, and trigger those sounds as you would the factory patches.
Okay, I put some time in with the Pocket Drum 2 Plus. It's really fun!!! I'd say the biggest downside is that the pedals aren't velocity-sensitive. The USB MIDI cable outputs from USB-C and inputs from USB-B. I plugged this into a DoreMIDI UMH-21, which takes a class-compliant USB MIDI signal and converts it to standard five-pin analog MIDI In and Out. I ran the MIDI cables into my Roland Integra-7, and was ready to rock. The built-in samples aren't bad at all, but once you've got some badass, well-produced samples being triggered, it makes air drumming even more fun. I tried out a bunch of custom acoustic and electronic drum kits and had a blast. I also assigned a simple scale on a glockenspiel sample set to the various Pocket Drum pieces, and also tested the Pocket Drum with ethnic percussion sets and symphonic timpani drums. It's really enjoyable being able to play basically any percussion part in the air, on the spot. I'm definitely going to keep the Pocket Drum 2 Plus. I think it's probably the best product of its kind (using accelerometers and gyros to determine which drums you hit, and how hard). The next step up would be Aerodrums (which is confusing because the Pocket Drum 2 Plus is manufactured by Aeroband, and Aerodrums is their own company). Aerodrums requires a computer host, and it uses a Sony PS3 Eye camera with a lamp on it to watch reflectors on your (real) drum sticks and feet, and as a result it provides a lot more nuance in your air drumming than accelerometers can achieve (including being able to gradually open the high hat, which is very very cool). But Aerodrums comes with a bit more involved of a setup (laptop/desktop, camera, lamp, camera stand), whereas the Pocket Drum 2 Plus is ready to go, as is, any time, and as such I think it's going to be a handy tool in the studio and a head turner on stage. I have Aerodrums arriving on Sunday. Thanks to the Pocket Drum 2 Plus, my musical horizons have broadened!!!
it would be funny if one day there were a version of this for every instrument, and then there'd be bands on stage just waving their arms around for entire songs

Hi Kris! Love vids! How did you learn drumS? Do you sing? How old are you? Have you thought about being in band or acting modeling? Are you married or in relationships? 😊
I got a set (for free luckily) and I’m sorry but in my experience and others they don’t play as shown. I am not sure that what you showed us is live sound. It’s obvious that on a drum set you could play that exactly but the sticks don’t work that well especially with fast movements. You can hit the floor Tom in exactly the same spot and get the sounds (Tom,Tom,rider,Tom,rider,rider,Tom) the hihat to crash is even worse. Good product just slightly over priced at this point but it’s so close to be a killer product
When a rock falls on the table it makes a loud sound. That's consciousness affecting consciousness creating consciousness. So the rock is consciousness. It hits the table which is consciousness and the sound it creates is consciousness.
Niice 👌 thats pretty cool Ok the sound quality / the Samples are may not the best but you added some other thats sweet But i would Connect it to a amp 😅
Hey hey, nice video, thanks!. I bought it like few months ago, and im struggling to use them and play this same session, because it seems I make quick movements that my sticks got sort of lost together and I have to sync them again. Is there anyone else with this same issue?, should I get a new pair instead?
No one is trying to scam the network. What pisses me off is that very credible TH-camrs like this lovely lady actually endorse this shit. These are totally NOT the answer…
Nope DO NOT get another pair. You’re experiencing what most unfortunate people have had buying this crap… it just doesn’t play like the video. Don’t be fooled - there is NO WAY you can play as fast and as cool as the video. Simply cannot take the speed or complexity… honestly a basic drum pattern is all you’ll get, kick, hi, snare, crash. That’s it. Try and play double snare and more than two crashes in a song and the whole thing goes “yeah really? No fucking chance”
Since MIDI gives the best results, or at least lets you get the sounds you want.... Can anyone recommend a good (possibly free) DAW either for PC or Android?
Since nobody has chimed in.... I've gotten a little further in my experimenting with these air drums. Cakewalk by BandLab is the DAW I am using. You will also want to get signed up with Moises so you can separate the tracks. The Moises free version lets you sep 5 songs of 5 minutes each or less, per month, and up to 4 tracks per song. Works really well.
Уже больше 20 лет не держал в руках барабанные палочки. Было дело, занимался в конце 90-х начале нулевых. Прикольная фигня, но я так понимаю, с ограниченными возможностями. Каким образом на этой штуке можно выбить 32-е?)) Как делать двойки, если нет отскока?)

I'm intrigued by this concept and nice demonstration btw. A question for you about your experience with the product if you ever have time to answer. I would use this to practice in hotel rooms on the go for example, how does this product function for rudiment practice and snare stuff ?apart from beats as you perfectly demonstrated in the video.. naturally I can stick to practice pads but it would be cool if this registered double strokes well. Anyway, I do like the product no matter, one for me to Christmas list
why no rush or metallica?

Yep. They are very very terrible. Way out of calibration after only a couple hits. Very disappointing.
I was given this for a Christmas present and it occupies a space in my cupboard.
Waste of money.
One step closer to a full band lineup using only air instruments. the future is a wild place lol

Hey Kristina, nice review, great skill! I've tried these sticks recently for a few weeks. I'm just a novice with drumming.

I tried out a bunch of custom acoustic and electronic drum kits and had a blast. I also assigned a simple scale on a glockenspiel sample set to the various Pocket Drum pieces, and also tested the Pocket Drum with ethnic percussion sets and symphonic timpani drums. It's really enjoyable being able to play basically any percussion part in the air, on the spot.
I'm definitely going to keep the Pocket Drum 2 Plus. I think it's probably the best product of its kind (using accelerometers and gyros to determine which drums you hit, and how hard). The next step up would be Aerodrums (which is confusing because the Pocket Drum 2 Plus is manufactured by Aeroband, and Aerodrums is their own company).
Aerodrums requires a computer host, and it uses a Sony PS3 Eye camera with a lamp on it to watch reflectors on your (real) drum sticks and feet, and as a result it provides a lot more nuance in your air drumming than accelerometers can achieve (including being able to gradually open the high hat, which is very very cool). But Aerodrums comes with a bit more involved of a setup (laptop/desktop, camera, lamp, camera stand), whereas the Pocket Drum 2 Plus is ready to go, as is, any time, and as such I think it's going to be a handy tool in the studio and a head turner on stage.
I have Aerodrums arriving on Sunday. Thanks to the Pocket Drum 2 Plus, my musical horizons have broadened!!!
are you able to import your own drum sounds?
Wow!! That is so cool. !
So how are you supposed to hear it than? Play it through a speaker or amp or something?
Прикольный инструмент, спасибо за обзор
My model is 2 plus, with 2 connected pedals, when connect to bluetooth midi in GB, the pedals had no sound, how should I do, please help. Thank you.
Does it work for dynamic playing as well? What about ghost notes?
Wow, Kriss, this is awesome! Thank you for sharing it! 😎
it would be funny if one day there were a version of this for every instrument, and then there'd be bands on stage just waving their arms around for entire songs
Damn, that's coooool! I love playing with instruments, but go rid of my electron drum kit due to space and sound.
Buying this for my office desk! Thanks Kris and hope all is well!
Sounds cool 🤘😎
Can you add an additional crash to make 2 crashes and a ride...
Не хватает только очков дополненной реальности в комплекте, чтобы видеть где что стоит.
Пушной давно играет на невидимых барабанах, не ожидал, что кто-то сделает на этом бизнес и действительно выпустит такие)
У меня тоже была эта идея, я уверен, что Apple уже что-то имеет в виду.
What about hihat in double bass mode? Is it still there? Does it sound open or closed?
Hi Kris!
Love vids!
How did you learn drumS?
Do you sing?
How old are you?
Have you thought about being in band or acting modeling?
Are you married or in relationships? 😊
Wow I thought you were playing air drums along with music but you are really playing the drums that's awesome, technology is crazy
I got a set (for free luckily) and I’m sorry but in my experience and others they don’t play as shown. I am not sure that what you showed us is live sound. It’s obvious that on a drum set you could play that exactly but the sticks don’t work that well especially with fast movements. You can hit the floor Tom in exactly the same spot and get the sounds (Tom,Tom,rider,Tom,rider,rider,Tom) the hihat to crash is even worse. Good product just slightly over priced at this point but it’s so close to be a killer product
That is nice to learn
You're awesome 💯💫
I bought them on Amazon and I send them back on the same day.
Which would imply you got them the same day you ordered them
Great idea for a video
I hate learning more. But your special. Teacher
Hey I remember these !
That’s cool! 🤘🏻🥁😎
No idea this exist...Added to cart!
Love you
N hard u rock.
You need to get Pantene as a sponsor
When a rock falls on the table it makes a loud sound. That's consciousness affecting consciousness creating consciousness. So the rock is consciousness. It hits the table which is consciousness and the sound it creates is consciousness.
Not necessarily
Niice 👌 thats pretty cool
Ok the sound quality / the Samples are may not the best but you added some other thats sweet
But i would Connect it to a amp 😅
Excelente video, te felicito!!
I love this
yeah .😅😅 1:56 .I get my imaginary part only...but was great...🎉
Your accent has me hypnotized!!
Amazing! 😮
wow it so cool😳😳
Interesting. Thank you!
Super cool!
There is a guitar version too, don't know how good it is, gonna search for a vid now.
Can you learn playing drums with It or you need normal drums?
Hey hey, nice video, thanks!. I bought it like few months ago, and im struggling to use them and play this same session, because it seems I make quick movements that my sticks got sort of lost together and I have to sync them again. Is there anyone else with this same issue?, should I get a new pair instead?
@kriss_drummer I think someones trying to scam your network?
No one is trying to scam the network. What pisses me off is that very credible TH-camrs like this lovely lady actually endorse this shit. These are totally NOT the answer…
Nope DO NOT get another pair. You’re experiencing what most unfortunate people have had buying this crap… it just doesn’t play like the video. Don’t be fooled - there is NO WAY you can play as fast and as cool as the video. Simply cannot take the speed or complexity… honestly a basic drum pattern is all you’ll get, kick, hi, snare, crash. That’s it. Try and play double snare and more than two crashes in a song and the whole thing goes “yeah really? No fucking chance”
I need it!!!
Если бы только мы все могли быть такими же крутыми, как ты 😎👍🏼😆😆😆
can you configure it for left handed?
It would be nice to combine it with a VR headset.
Very Nice!! Crazy... 👌✌️👏
Different kind of amazing
Interesting tech awesome drummer by the way your covers are really good
Since MIDI gives the best results, or at least lets you get the sounds you want.... Can anyone recommend a good (possibly free) DAW either for PC or Android?
Since nobody has chimed in.... I've gotten a little further in my experimenting with these air drums. Cakewalk by BandLab is the DAW I am using.
You will also want to get signed up with Moises so you can separate the tracks. The Moises free version lets you sep 5 songs of 5 minutes each or less, per month, and up to 4 tracks per song. Works really well.
Уже больше 20 лет не держал в руках барабанные палочки. Было дело, занимался в конце 90-х начале нулевых.
Прикольная фигня, но я так понимаю, с ограниченными возможностями. Каким образом на этой штуке можно выбить 32-е?)) Как делать двойки, если нет отскока?)
I actually like mine
The only real thing I can see this being used for is busking on the street , where bring out a 4piece kit is just a headache !
I have bought one, the positioning is not good, It produces the wrong sound frequently!
