Hey guys! I'm new to the group and have been building electronic kits for quite a few years. I would like to ask you all for a little help with an electronic drum set that I am currently refining for production. I have a working prototype and have secured a patent on it. There is a huge amount of expertise in this group and your comments, suggestions, concerns and yes, even your criticism, would be greatly appreciated. The kit is a self-contained electronic drum set that sets up automatically and collapses to between 8 and 10" thick for transport. I expect the production unit will weigh in the 40-50 pound range. Once you do the initial adjustments to the kit, seat distance from kit, seat height, drum positions and angles and the foot pedal location (there are some adjustment limitations), the kit sets up exactly the same way, automatically, in a matter of seconds. All of the cables are routed through the frame and terminate at a plug receptacle that is located on the frame. A custom snake plugs into the plug receptacle on the frame and fans out to ΒΌ" plugs that connect to the sound trigger/sound module. The kit can be set up and you can be playing, honestly, in about 5 seconds. I worked as a repair tech for quite a few years in the music industry and many of the drummers that I worked with were looking for a kit that could be easily transported, but they still wanted to be able to sit down at a real kit. Anyway, I'm currently working as an electrical/mechanical engineer and I also operate a company that specializes in music jingles (Music Crafter). I have set up a dedicated page on my web sight where I have posted a few pictures of the kit (Peratron). The local reviews of the kit have been overwhelmingly good. If any of you get a chance, please stop by www.musiccrafter.com and take a look at the Peratron and let me know what you think. Thanks for your help, and I will be looking forward to hearing what the real electronic drummer thinks. Here is the path directly to the page. http://www.musiccrafter.com/The_Peratron.asp Thanks!
