Trommelmaschine Mk. 1 - Mechanical drum machine


"A working prototype for a large scale sculpture, which will use petrol engines, crankshafts and pistons to play percussion.

This prototype machine uses DC motors to drive Lego Technic crankshafts and pistons which strike piezo transducers to trigger drum sounds from a drum machine circuit board. There are no Lego kits or anything involved in this, it is all hand built.

Thanks to elastic band drive belts this machine works sporadically, as you can see in the video, but it proves the theory, allowing me to move on to developing the large scale 'Trommelmaschine'."
