Q: What do you call someone who hangs out with musicians? A: A drummer. Yes, we know that's not particularly funny but it illustrates the gulf between tub thumpers and the rest of the musical community.

Of course some of the criticism leveled at skinbashers is perfectly justified. Remember, we are talking about people who bash things with sticks. And for every Keith Moon there's always a Luke (Bros) Goss or Meg White to add impetus to the drummers are dummies lobby. Indeed, some drummers are so inept they make the Duracell Bunny look like John Bonham! That's why we thought we'd whack some much needed credibility into the world of crashes, splashes, toms and flamadiddles with Rock Beat Drumsticks.

Rock Beat Drumsticks These ingenious electronic sticks represent a huge advance in the field of pretending to play the drums, as you don't need an accompanying drum kit to start knocking out a few funky beats. That's because Rock Beat Drumsticks feature tiny built-in speakers that blast out a variety of drum sounds every time the rubber tips hit a surface or strike the air with anything more than a tap.

Rock Beat Drumsticks Nifty buttons change the sound from snare drum to tom-tom to crash cymbal, and you can also make a virtual Ringo out of yourself by bashing along to a tune. Better still, bright LEDs within the Rock Beat's durable tips mean you can flail around in the dark. Any more sophisticated and you could join Pink Floyd on stage for an impromptu jam (although you'd probably be bundled off and sectioned in the Rod, Jane and Freddie home for the musically insane before you played your first comedy count-in).

Rock Beat Drumsticks

Rock Beat Drumsticks Rock Beat Drumsticks are musical must-haves for anyone who's ever pretended to drum along to their favorite ditty, even if it's only the intro to Friends. So why not make like a real drummer right now by clicking... no... bashing the 'Add to Cart' button and indulging in some hi-tech crash, bang, boom!

Why does everybody keep complaining about how the sticks aren't real enough, they aren't supposed to be like the real thing, they're a novelty, so they're just meant to be fun. And what's all this about the membrane on the drum and all that, well how on earth are they supposed to recreate the feel of the drumstick bouncing off of the drum skin!?!. In my opinion they are a great toy, and really fun to play a beat or two with.

I played with these for a bit when a friend got them and ordered some from firebox at the beginning of the year when they were sold out. Can't wait until they're back in stock!
Katy, Cornwall, UK - May '08

The electronic sticks don't have the weight distribution, "bounce" and feel of real drumsticks. These are only good for bashing on stuff, not for practicing and applying the form, rudiments and finesse that in part comprise a real drummer's complex musical craft. To achieve this latter aim, one must have both drumsticks AND an oscillating tympanic membrane ("skins") to bounce them against. Drummers are "dummies" who "bash things with sticks"!? And Billie Holiday - I suppose she just went onstage and bitched about men. (However, Keith Moon: DUMMY).
Firebox says: Very technical, thanks for your expert knowledge John!
John Renshaw, Seattle - Apr '07

I have to say, these aren't as great as everyone makes out. The sound isn't that realistic, but they are fun to play around with.
Firebox says: Thanks Alex. Always good to have balanced reviews here.
Alex, Surrey - Jan '07

I got some 4 my birthday they are the best you can rock out on them all day. :) rock on!!
Calvin Bone, Newcastle - Dec '06

I ordered 4 sets of rock beat drum sticks for my granchildren for Christmas on Tuesday afternoon, they were here next day, thank you firebox I can't wait till they open them.
Patricia White, Chesterfield - Nov '06

I am a drummer and I bought these for a drummer friend of mine. I thought they would be a novelty item and a bit of fun. I'm not too impressed. Whoever designed them obviously did no research into the actual instrument. The "snare" is actually a tom and there are no hi hats or ride cymbal. So you basically can't play a beat with these. I know they are only toys but come on guys??
Firebox says: Although the Rock Beat Drumsticks are indeed no subsitute for a full-size drum kit with extra hi hats, we find them to be a massive improvement on our usual hitting the desk with two pencils technique.
Dave Parker, Ipswich - Nov '06

I bought these for my boyfriend a few months ago for his birthday and he loves them, these are the next best thing to a drumkit.... I can take the batteries out of these bad boys though!! They're amzing for winding the dog up too!
Viv, Hull - Nov '06

Bought these last xmas for my two boys and took them with us recently to a stay at my sisters. My nephew who`s 2 absolutely loved them and I will be buying him some for xmas. They are a BRILLIANT and a good laugh. The kids love `em and the adults love `em.
Gina Candlish, Corby,Northamptonshire - Sep '06

I first saw these round a mates house and became addicted to them. Even when we fell out I befriended his sister just so I could play with the sticks. When I found out they were only a tenner I had to have them. Now I am always on them and it saved me about 200 pounds on a drum kit. Thank you firebox. Com you made my dreams of becoming a rockstar a virtual reality. . Now.... . If only I were good.
