My Final Project

Research

My project focuses on developing an electric drum kit that minimizes noise, allowing its use in environments where loud sound can be a problem. An ideal instrument for musicians practicing in apartments, with noise restrictions, or any place where volume control is crucial.

Basic Development Plan

Design an initial prototype and create a project plan.
Research and select materials and components.
Establish a budget and a work schedule.

Materials and Components

Rubber pads for the drums.
Amplifier and speakers.
Casing and supports for the pads.
Power supply.

Basic systems

Bought: Percussion sensors, sound module, amplifier, speakers, and power supply.
Made: Rubber pads, casing, and supports.

Processes to Implement

3D design and modeling of the pads.
3D printing or manufacturing of the pads.
Soldering and assembling electronic components.
Testing and adjusting the prototype.

Initial Questions

What level of noise is acceptable for users?
How can the durability of the pads be improved?
