The drum is an exciting music instrument, But there is something that blocks this excitement…. Drums are the only musical instrument that has one single pitch!!! So, if I am a drummer that plays Rock, my music is inspired by Reggae, and the band that I play with, has a Jazz session before the show, which drum would fit my needs? In other musical instruments, you can easily play various types of music, you just need to set your fingers differently... Zikit Drums provides for the first time an add-on device that changes your snare drum pitch.... in real-time!!!!!
