Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
Check out this amazing, interactive drumming robot from Georgia Tech. The creation, designed by Director of Music Technology Gil Weinberg and his grad student Scott Driscoll, uses “computational power and numerical algorithms to listen, analyze and improvise.” Sadly, he’s already better than most of the kids from my high school jazz band.

as many of the youtube comments point out, there is nothing shown that proves the ‘robot’ is following along with the human drummer, more like the other way around… and without dynamic or tempo changes this is pretty weak.
