"Welcome to the site of P.E.A.R.T. which stands for Pneumatic and Electronic Actuated RoboT.  P.E.A.R.T. is a robot that is made to be set up in front of any drum set and play the drums with any MIDI file as the input.  It is capable of running 16 seperate drum channels, with each drum capable of being hit up to 19 times per second (which sounds pretty awesome on a bass drum by the way)."
