A team at KMel Robotics has assembled a band of hexrotor drones that have taken up new instruments to play some fresh songs - and the end result sounds surprisingly great.

The company said that the hexrotors create music in ways never seen before, like playing a custom single string guitar hooked up to an electric guitar amp.

They even manage to play drums and crash cymbals with the help of a deconstructed piano action, the Verge reported.

Clearly a ton of work went into producing this; KMel notes that it had support from Intel and Lockheed Martin in bringing the band together. And soon the "Flying Robot Rockstars" will be going on tour.

 

Attendees at the USA Science and Engineering Festival in Washington, DC this weekend will be able to catch a live rendition of the set.
