Motion Generation Method for Supporting Drum Performance

Abstract

Much experience is necessary to play a musical instrument. In general, it is difficult for beginners to practice a musical instrument. Therefore, there are many supporting systems for playing a musical instrument. In the case of a keyboard, we can play it by just tapping the key shown by the appropriate light indicator. However, you use both hands and feet at the same time when playing the drums. Therefore, we cannot play it by the method for supporting keyboard performance. In this paper, we propose a motion generation method for supporting drum performance using MIDI files. This method helps the beginner to understand the motion of drum performance. Some experimental results show that the proposed method is effective for the practice of drum performance.
