The Drum HAT adds 8 capacitive touch drum pads with individual LED indicators to your Raspberry Pi. Use it to play sampled drum sounds, control software drum synths, send MIDI commands to hardware drum machines, or build custom drum-controlled projects — all programmed in Python.

Each pad features a light channel that creates an under-lighting effect when tapped. The pads and LEDs can be controlled independently in Python, allowing you to link each pad to its own function and customise the LED behaviour.

Key Features

  • 8 Capacitive Touch Pads – Finger-sized pads with individual Python callbacks
  • 8 White LEDs – Auto-light on tap or full Python control
  • CAP1188 Touch Driver – Microchip capacitive touch sensor IC
  • MIDI Support – Output MIDI commands via USB-to-MIDI adapter
  • Fully Assembled – No soldering required, plugs directly onto the GPIO header
  • Pi Compatible – Raspberry Pi 3B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W
