The Drummer is a networked digital musical interface that allows multiple users to design and play a drum kit. Users can at the same time create and customize a drum kit, and then perform together with others simply by tapping and sliding the pen on the screen.

The system is based on client-server architecture over a wireless network; every client runs on a Nintendo DS -one of the most popular wireless handheld game devices with touch-screen functionality- while the server computer handles the clients.

It supports Windows and Mac server.
