10 RIDICULOUS THINGS I WANT TO INVENT IN THE DRUM WORLD

They say ideas rules the world, so today I'm gonna be sharing with you 10 of my most crazy and ridiculous ideas. Please note this ideas ain't for execution. I might experiment with some of ideas in the nearest future but for now, I'm just writing them to exercise the idea muscle. Whether the ideas are good or bad. It doesn't matter. 

This is not a general idea. I am a drummer,  so all of my ideas are drum related. If you ain't a drummer or a musical instrumentalist you might not vibe with the ideas. But if you do, nice one. Lol. 

Without wasting much of your time, here are the ideas: 

1) A tuner app for drums: an app you can use to tune the drums. I just realized a tech drum needs to be invented first before inventing an app that tunes drums. Smh. An app like that won't work on a normal drum kit. Anyways. We move.

2) A 3D invisible drum kit: drummers play a lot to invisible things. Making an 3D invisible kit with a sound ain't a bad idea. 

3) A drum beat hint app: imagine singing a song on the app and within seconds,  it's giving you a beat that suits the song. No matter the genre of the song, It has a beat for you. The app gives me a hint, I do the rest on the drum kit.

4) A drum roll filter: it's just like subtitles. Upload a drum video by Aaron spears and let the app filter every roll and break it down for you.

5) Gigs for drummers: just like using uber to locate a driver nearby.  An app that helps people (bands, musicians and churches ) to locate the nearest instrumentalist nearby won't be a bad idea. There are lot of drummers without Gigs or a place to play. This might help. 

6) A mobile app game for drummers: not the the action type but the puzzle or adventure kind of games. For example, if it's like an adventure game, easy. You login, you are given an option to create a drummer of your choice. You create one. You pick a music tour of your choice. You begin the game. Your first task or first level in the game is to rearrange a scattered drum kit within a specific time. Second level,  create a beat from the music sheet you are given. Third level, play a melodic groove without a particular part of the drum kit eg hi-hat. Etc....... as the game goes on there will be more creative levels on the game.

7) A drum stick grip box: a small box with holes to fix in the drum stick. What this box does is give the drum stick a good grip based on the drummer's selection. If the drummer want his sticks very smooth when he holds it, the box makes it smooth. If he wants it rough (especially for drummers with sweaty palms), the box makes it rough. Heavy or light,  the box makes it so. Based on the drummer's selection the box is able to give the drummer's stick a good grip that suits the drummer.

8) New pattern app: drummers are the most creative instrumentalist. Most drummer's beat and rolls are played out of instincts I.e when on a Gig they play rolls they've never played and those rolls end up sounding good. Most time that creative beat and roll can't be replayed coz it's new and the body ain't used to it. What if there is an app that records all of your groove and rolls and is also able to detect new creative rolls and beats (something new and fresh) when you are playing. Now you don't have to worry about trying to replicate a beat you just played few minutes without making mistakes. The app gat you. Please note, this is different from practicing a new beat on your own. 

9) A drum throne body massage: a drum throne or stool that not only serve as a sit for drummers but also a massage kit. Imagine playing with tired hands and legs and still having more hours to go. Everything about your groove is gonna change. You won't be as energetic as you were few hours ago, there won't be a lively vibe to your rolls. Having a drum stool that massages you when ever you take a little break from playing won't be bad. It keeps your body from performing below par. 

10) The practice app: I'm still thinking of a better name for this app. What this app does is debit you and credit someone else if you refuse to practice 2-3 hours a day. This is how it works. You find a fellow instrumentalist like you ( doesn't necessarily have to be a drummer), you both open an account.( both account must be linked to your bank account). You both decide on the days you wanna practice. If you miss a practice date, you get debited and the other drummer gets credited. You also get to decide the amount y'all are willing to lose if you don't practise. 50 or 100 naira. To the drummer being credited this might look a small amount, but to the one being debited, loosing 100 naira everyday or thrice a week won't be funny. To avoid loosing cash, just PRACTICE. And please make sure you have the app on. Practicing without the app will make you loose money. It's more like a game to make you a better drummer. It's gonna help with procrastination and laziness but with a small cost. Be free to opt out anytime. Lol.  

There you have it. My crazy ideas. Te point is not to have an amazing idea, the point is to build the idea muscle. The more I write this ideas, the more I get good at writing and not just writing but also experimenting on some of this ideas. Every idea needs an execution.
