If I were still a drummer, I’d probably be feeling real, palpable fear just about now. Granted, it can’t possibly provide nuanced playing, but stilll…how long before that’s programmable too? That said, if you can build a robot like this, how hard can it really be to have one that holds a bass/guitar and plucks strings while pressing & bending certain combinations of frets?

And to think…they named it after a god of drumming. It’d be like a guy named Jesus trying to bring down the Catholic church…

Sigh…reminds me of the old joke: “How many drummers does it take to screw in a light bulb? None! They have machines for that now!”
