ENST Drums

ENST-Drums: an extensive audio-visual database for drum signals processing Olivier Gillet and Gaël Richard GET / ENST, CNRS LTCI, 37 rue Dareau, 75014 Paris, France

The ENST-Drums database is a large and varied research database for automatic drum transcription and processing:

Three professional drummers specialized in different music genres were recorded. Total duration of audio material recorded per drummer is around 75 minutes. Each drummer played his own drum kit. Each sequence used either sticks, rods, brushes or mallets to increase the diversity of drum sounds. The drum kits themselves are varied, ranging from a small, portable, kit with two toms and 2 cymbals, suitable for jazz and latin music ; to a larger rock drum set with 4 toms and 5 cymbals. Each sequence is recorded on 8 individual audio channels, is filmed from two angles, and is fully annotated
