Drop the Beat: a weird wearable drum machine hooked up to GarageBand

Inspired by Laurie Anderson’s 1986 concert film “Home of the Brave”, “Drop The Beat” is a wearable electronic drum set that aims to elevate the artist’s presence during live performance. Each drum pad is embedded with a piezo sensor and is attached to the vest with velcro. The audio was recorded with the vest and GarageBand.
