Abstract

An exemplary device includes a first emitter (110, 110’, 110’’) to emit radiation from a first perspective substantially parallel to the head of the drum or other surface, a second emitter (110, 110’, 110’’) to emit radiation from a second perspective substantially parallel to the head of the drum or other surface, detectors (120) to detect interruptions in the radiation from the first perspective as caused by an object (160); and detectors (120) to detect interruptions in the radiation from the second perspective as caused by an object (160), wherein detected interruptions allow for one or more determinations (e.g., sounds, sound effects and control actions). Various other exemplary arrangements, devices, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.
