Visualizing Drum Styles with Bouncing Balls

I synchronized drum and cymbal hits on a drum set to bouncing balls in a 2-D physics simulation.
The ball positions were not generated automatically, I found where to put them through trial and error. In the future I am looking into possible ways to automate this process.
This was particularly tricky to do because the simulation is non-deterministic, so sometimes when I would try to record the screen or put my CPU under load, the physics would behave differently.
Hopefully this helps people who want to see the difference between different drum styles in a more visual way. Thanks for watching!

this looks like one of these "90% will fail this satisfying game" ads

That is not black met... ohh nevermind you got it.

There's something... special about that amen break. It's just so recognizable and it's low quality is just unmatched.

when "black metal" sounds like the opening to motorhead's overkill

It's 4 am, I woke up to a pigeon trying to fly into my room and I find this in my recommendations.

Why is this so satisfying? As a musician these patterns aren't foreign to me but it's so mesmerizing to watch and listen to them this way.
