Abstract
We present a prototype of a new musical interface for Japanese drumming techniques and styles. Our design used in the Aobachi drumming sticks provides 5 gesture parameters (3 axes of acceleration, and 2 axes of angular velocity) for each of the two sticks and transmits this data wirelessly using Bluetooth technology. This system utilizes minimal hardware embedded in the two drumming sticks, allowing for gesture tracking of drum strokes by an interface of traditional form, appearance, and feel. Aobachi is portable, versatile, and robust, and may be used for a variety of musical applications, as well as analytical studies.
