Drumstick
Nothing beats bashing seven bells out of a drumkit. It's the most satisfyingly primeval musical experience known to man. Unfortunately drumkits are cumbersome and expensive. And unless you've got a team of roadies, they're about as portable as anvils tied to battleship chains. But who needs a drumkit when you can create percussive pandemonium with the V-Beat Air Drum.
Controller
Comprising a pair of motion-sensitive sticks attached to an electronic 'brain', this nifty set up allows all you Bonham wannabes to indulge in a bit of crash, bang wallop without a drumkit. Yes, really. Simply hit the air where the respective drums and cymbals would be if you were sitting at a traditional kit and you'll hear the corresponding snare, tom or cymbal. Ka-boom-chi! You even get a pair of foot sensors for some bass drum/hi-hat action. Just attach them to your shoes and kick away.
Drumstick positioning
Foot pedal
The main unit comes preloaded with three melodies to jam along to, and there's also a free-play mode and fill-in mode. Keep practising and you'll be playing that tom fill from In the Air Tonight before you can say 'yes, but why a gorilla?' What's more you can choose between four drumkits: acoustic, electronic, pots and pans and ethnic (at least we think that's what they are).
Controls
It doesn't matter if you're a complete novice with the rhythmic ability of Sooty's mate Sweep, or a proficient skin-basher in need of a portable rehearsal device, the V-Beat Air Drum is ideal. Of course it goes without saying you'll look like a total headcase bashing away at thin air, but if you've ever tried setting up a full-on set of drums you won't care. So go on, give it some stick. Boom-boom!

"If you've always fancied yourself as a drummer but don't have the space, cash or understanding neighbours, get a V-Beat drum kit."

My boyfriend loved this! He's constantly air drumming along to music and now he can actually make some noise when he does (much to the despair of everyone else) A fun gift for any musically inclined friends, great value for money.

The hi-hat is on the right side, if you cross your arms when playing it! (as drummers do...).

Got these yesterday, and while they are fun remember they're a £20 toy not a full drum kit! They are good, though you do get a few odd looks (well I did from the wife) and you need to get used to how to move each stick to save hitting the wrong 'drum' but once you do they're great fun.

The funniest gadget I've bought since... I was born!
Really simple, very precise to "understand" what drumkit pieces you want to play.
This is a must have for any drummer in the world!

Looks brilliant, I really want one! Annoyingly though, the hi-hat is on the wrong side of the drum kit.
