ENST-Drums: an extensive audio-visual database for drum signals processing

<p>The <strong>ENST-Drums database</strong> is a large and varied research database for automatic drum transcription and processing:</p> <ul> <li>Three professional drummers specialized in different music genres were recorded.</li> <li>Total duration of audio material recorded per drummer is around 75 minutes.</li> <li>Each drummer played his own drum kit.</li> <li>Each sequence used either sticks, rods, brushes or mallets to increase the diversity of drum sounds.</li> <li>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.</li> </ul> <p>Each sequence is recorded on 8 individual audio channels, is filmed from two angles, and is fully annotated</p> <p>A large part of ENST-Drums is publicly available <strong>under some conditions</strong>. These conditions include:</p> <ul> <li>The use and exploitation of the database should be limited to <strong>research</strong> purposes. No commercial use is possible.</li> <li>The database is distributed under the licence &quot;Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)&quot;</li> <li>Any document describing a research work where ENST-Drums was used should include a reference to ENST-Drums and to the paper <em>Olivier Gillet and Ga&euml;l Richard.
