I’m a fidgety kinda guy who likes to bang on things, so this looks like the kind of item that would keep me amused for a while. It’s a drum set that you can play with your fingers… it even records your performances so you can play an encore for your friends. This would be great if I had to wait around somewhere for a long time… let’s hope that for everyone else’s sake that it has an earphone jack! This thing is fairly reasonably priced at $18.99.

Here’s another product to add to the ever growing list of things that I will never buy: A table with percussion instruments attached to the bottom. The reasons I will never buy this are numerous:
1) I already own a drum. And if I wanted to sit around banging drums with friends, I have donkey conga.
2)I don’t need no stinking drum table- I am already infinitely amused by banging on just about anything I can get my tapping fingers on. Seriously- a normal table would be just as amusing to me as this overpriced and ridiculous product.
3)There is no three… gotcha!
Depending on the size of the table that you want, you’ll be paying between $800 and $2900 for it. That could buy you a complete drum set. Actually , it could probably buy you several cheap drum sets, or one or two nice drum sets. Not to mention the number of small hand percussion instruments that you could afford. But noooo, you want to hide your drums under a table… I think that in this case, a little glue could go a looong way in saving you some dough.

Check out this cool little robot- it roams around trying to find stuff to strike. When it finds something that makes a good sound, it starts to make it’s own little rhythm and plays on the ‘instrument’ for a little while before venturing off to play on something else. What is really cool is that the inventor reveals all of the tricks and equipment that he used to make it. See a video of the robot in action here, and at the previous link.
