#
#This script creates an "interactive drumkit" allowing you to play some nice
#beats within your game. It's easy to adapt to your own liking to create
#many different sounds
#
#Credits: Berans    - Making the script
#         Sniper308 - Providing the graphics and idea for the script
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Features
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# -Easy set-up
# -Can change drum sounds to anything you like
# -comes with nice graphics
# -Fully lagfree
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Compatibility
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#This script does not rewrite any standard methods and does not use any global
#variables. Should be compatible with anything, including the SDK
#
#==============================================================================
#Instructions
#==============================================================================
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Setup
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# -Download the demo if the script was obtained separately
# -Copy the Audio files in Audio/SE to your own project, and make sure the names
#  stay the same. You can provide your own Audio files, but they must be called
#  "Tom-1","Tom-2","Tom-3","Hi-Hat" and "Bassdrum" respectively
# -Copy the picture files in Graphics/Pictures to your own project, making sure
#  the names stay the same. You can easily change the color of the "lighting"
#  effect by changing the color of the objects in "DrumsLights"
# -Import the picture files into your game, making white transparant in both
#  files, clearing the semi-transparant color for "Rock Band Drums" and making
#  the color of the main objects in "DrumsLights" semi-transparant
# -Insert this script above Main and under the standard scripts
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Using the script
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#To call the script, use the "script" command within any event.
#In the script write "$scene = Scene_Drums.new", without the quotes

Paste this script above main and under the other standard scripts.
Instructions

Instructions in script.
NOTE: Audiofiles and images can be obtained in the demo, this script won't function properly without them
Compatibility
This script does not rewrite any standard methods and does not make use of its own global variables. It should be compatible with anything out there, including the SDK

Author's Notes

Please credit me and sniper308 if you use this in your game. Other than that, have fun with it!
I'm always open for feedback.
Also, there are two ways to access the scene in the demo, both of which are hidden
you'll be able to see them easily in the editor though :p

Hahaha, almost pointless but fun as hell! 

ALMOST pointless? Sir, I am insulted but your severe underestimations
Seriously though, this was a 1-hour job based one someone's idea. Positioning and getting the graphics to animate right took by far the longest.
I'm glad you like it

What a lovely novel idea.
I love it

Excellent work Berans

Yeah, it is a fun idea. Nice work.

I'm currently working on making a Piano script too for the less rythmically inclined (on request by a few people)
I can't completely use the same system though, since I created a bitmap for each lighting effect. Doing that for 4 octaves(48 keys including the black ones) creates some pretty big issues with lag. I'll probably have to create them only when called for
EDIT: Here's a link to my piano script. This one allows for input codes to give the system some use.
http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?topic=1661.msg34547

well to reduce lag couldn't you use 1 or 2 octaves making it  12 or 24 keys?
