Product Description

The Finger Drum Mousepad is quite a nifty gadget for a Drummer. This way, they get to take their drums to the office and play to their heart's content. Obviously (for all those drummers out there) this will never replace owning the real thing ... but imagine becoming the best finger tapping drummer out there? They could add this to the yearly drum fests! This finger drumming is made possible by using your 4 fingers ... gone are the days of tapping sweet nothings on your desk! Full drumkit here we come! The Finger DrumPad with integrated electronic drumpad allows the office rock star to play a full kit by utilising the 8 different percussion sounds (bass, snare, two rack toms, floor tom, hi-hat, crash and ride cymbal). The Finger DrumPad is equipped with an Mp3 player input so you can play your music through your new "finger kit" and play your amazing solos straight over them! The Finger DrumPad comes pre-programmed with a demonstration mode which has 6 preset patterns but also allows you the opportunity of recording 30 of your own rhythm masterpieces. Like any other electronic music gadget, you are able to adjust volume and tempo controls as well as insert a headphone so as to not annoy your co-workers.

This review is from: 8 Beats Finger Drum Set (Toy)

I received this toy for Christmas, and it seemed like an interesting idea. I have been a drummer and a finger tapper forever, and I like to think that I have a good sense of rhythm. This little unit is just not very responsive, so if you already have a feel for drumming, it just can't produce the beats that you try to tap out. The sensors are very location sensitive, and if you try to tap out something like a single stroke roll, it just can't keep up. The sounds are also somewhat irritating, especially the bass drum - sounds like your striking a paper bag.

So if you are considering this as a play thing for kids, it might be the ticket. If you are looking for something to exercise your rhythmic abilities, look elsewhere.

This review is from: 8 Beats Finger Drum Set (Toy)

I bought this for my 7 year old nephew who "plays" guitar and piano. At one time, he wanted to play the drums and join a rock band, but then another kid in his class had drums - so well, he now plays the electric guitar. Anyway, after I got this thing in the mail (for him), I couldn't stop playing with it! My husband couldn't stop playing with it either. It's just a super fun "thing" for all ages. I never even got to try any of the features it offers (I didn't take it out of the box, and the special features were under the cardboard!), so I don't know how well they work. All I know is, for the money, this is worth every penny. I almost kept it and got my nephew something else, but I made myself wrap it up so I would quit playing with it.

My 18 year old loved this toy-- and its lots better than drummimg on the table.
Seller was very generous when original item was damaged in transit. A "pass-it-around" cool toy when the guys are hanging out together.
