See Drum is a visualization tool created to enhance rhythm based performances by linking temporal auditory patterns to visual counterparts in real-time. Using sensors, See Drum interprets drum hits from a kit and, in real-time, creates matching visuals to be projected or displayed on screen.
The See Drum software matches each drum in the kit with a corresponding visual representation. Mappings between drums and their visuals can be altered easily within the software.
Because of its tight mappings, See Drum allows users to synesthetically experience a drum performance, artfully highlighting relationships of audio and visual patterns over time.
