EDK is a new project of mine which is still in its infancy but is progressing at a rather promising speed. The goal of EDK is to provide a high quality and customisable drum module that is compatible with a plug and play kit.

The drum kit consists of four highly durable pads (similar to those you would find on any retail electric drum kit) and one pedal which connect to the MadCatz RB module via male stereo connections on the end of each pad. Once the pads are connected to the module, the module then connects to the computer via USB.

As can be seen in the demonstration video below the interaction code is fully working, along with the resource management (otherwise you wouldn’t be able to load and use the sounds), however there is still quite a long way to go before it is of much use to anyone as I still have to work on the GUI that allows for customisation; it is all coming all very nicely though.

If you have the time leave some feedback and let me know what you think of it so far
