Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
Electronic Drum

Location:   Expo Red   

Build an electronic drum out of PVC pipe, guitar string, foam and aluminum tape. Connect to a cheesy keyboard or drum machine to kick some beats. Build an analog drum circuit for that 80’s disco ping sound. Members of a high school science class will show you how it’s done.
