Acoustic Drum Machine!

In a fusion of innovation and passion, we’ve crafted a DIY acoustic drum machine that dances to its own beat. At its heart lies an Arduino, which breathes life into the solenoids that tap out rhythms on a humble tin can drum.

Its structural integrity relies not just on screws and superglue, but also on a dash of hope. What sets it apart? This quirky instrument can interface with MIDI, ensuring a unique auditory journey.

Curious about a more polished, professional counterpart? Look no further than the Polyend Perc, a sophisticated solenoid device.

But if you’re feeling crafty, and want a hands-on project, go for it! For a detailed guide and inspiration, delve into this overview on Adafruit.
