Collector - Future Drum Kit Design

Collector is an intelligent drum kit that consists of three products: the drum kit, the smart module, and smart drumsticks. The smart module and drumsticks allow drummers to collect sound samples for their drums by exploring their surroundings. While exploring new sounds, the drummer can store the sounds into the smart module and later synchronise the sounds with the drumhead. The drum kit is designed to be effortless to set up and dismantle, flexible to transport, and easy for drummers to customise the configuration. The design is compact and lightweight, with a minimalistic and modern design language that will work well in various settings. This new design not only solves the practical functional problems that professional drummers encounter, but it also changes the role of the drummer in the user journey. The drummer is no longer just a consumer of the drum kit, but also its 'sound designer’. The new interaction enables the drummer to transform his surroundings into a massive acoustic library for inspiration. With the help of technology, the design provides a whole new experience for drummers while keeping the authentic element of drumming. Red Dot Award: Design Concept | Concept | Music and Media
