Pimoroni PIM141 Drum HAT with 8 Capacitive Touch Pads for Raspberry Pi

If you think you're the next Ringo or Charlie Watts, then you'll love this Drum HAT from Pimoroni. Functionally similar to the Piano HAT (75-0514), just hook up the 8x advanced capacitive finger-sized drum pads with LED indicators to start laying down a beat with your Raspberry Pi.

There are intuitively-designed light channels on the drum pads so that every pad can light up with a tap, but none of the LEDs get in your way, creating a cool under-lighting effect. You can use the Drum HAT to play music in Python, control software drum synths on your Pi, take control of hardware drum machines, or just build your own elaborate percussion project.

The Drum HAT comes with a ready-to-go example, with sampled drum sounds - all you have to do is hook up a set of speakers to your Pi's headphone jack. Why not get technical and get Drum HAT to output regular MIDI commands via a USB to MIDI adapter, and control your software drum synths or hardware drum machine over MIDI.
