Drummify makes the world your instrument. It acoustically couples to any surface it's placed on, turning anything into a responsive, dynamic instrument that behaves as if the object itself were transformed into a drum—when put on a table, hitting the table harder feels like hitting the drum harder, tapping the edge sounds like tapping the edge of the drumhead; even scratching and rubbing gestures translate perfectly to the synthesized audio. Because of its compactness and light weight, it can be easily transported for music-making anywhere—the next time you’re finger-drumming on a table or tapping the dashboard of your car, you could be performing the next legendary drum solo.
