One problem I encountered was that when I hooked up more than one sensor, there would be some noise, some of the sensors would constantly output a low signal when other sensors were struck, but the number is usually very low and negated because of the threshold that I put in the Arduino and Max/MSP code. When each sensor is struck it outputs the assigned drum noise. | One problem I encountered was that when I hooked up more than one sensor, there would be some noise, some of the sensors would constantly output a low signal when other sensors were struck, but the number is usually very low and I negated it because of the threshold that I put in the Arduino and Max/MSP code.

==Future Improvements== | |||
Although I was able to create a digital drum set, it isn't very practical. The way the project is setup, one cannot simply play it like it were a real drum set. Future improvements would be to create better constructed drum heads, which would pick up the vibrations more clearly and would be able to handle being struck by a drum stick. | |||
