PASSION FOR PERCUSSION
ELECTRONIC DRUM DESIGN APPROACH The Awowo LDP-110 electronic drum (The predecessor) is a concentrate of a realsize drums. It sampled the sounds and effacts of percussion instruments and condensed they into a relatively small device. The task here in this project is to upgrade the old LDP-110 not only the exterior but also the whole user experience. We had tried to find weak points of the predecessor and uatilized design methods to complete the product.

INSIGHT
Full-size real drum is our role model to imitate. Normally Snares are always surrounded by a drumer and toms as a centre of whole set. So we think to emphasize which piece is Snare is a good strategy. imitate
We believe it can make an iconic certification and
