Product Description

Editorial Review

"Thank you! Thank you (insert your town's name here)! Are you ready to rock?" With Mattel's Air Snares, dream drumming comes packaged as its own status "cymbal." In the kit are two battery-powered drumstick wands with control buttons for the tempo and percussion effects. Included are instructions for a pair of Simon-like games, such as repeating the drum rhythm played by the programmed game, eliciting either electronic "Boo"s or cheers, depending on your success. But it's the noncompetitive, free play air-drummer mode, allowing players to accompany a simple melody line with a selection of drum effects, that'll ensnare wannabes. --Tony Mason

From the Manufacturer

The only handheld electronic game that comes with 2 drum sticks that actually play fun tunes and musical games when you play the drums in the air. Cool looking drumsticks that actually play fun tunes and musical games with built in speakers that can be played anywhere, even in the air. Chose to play one of two fun games of just rock out in free play mode with your snares. Comes with 16 different drums sound effects so you can decide the type of music you want to create. It can be different everytime. 20 different background tunes built into the unit help any player (An amateur or a pro) sound great.

I bought this toy for my 10-year-old son for Christmas, and he loves it. The toy has several sound settings (different sound effects). They make the sound when struck in the air. The last 3rd of the drum sticks is rubbery, and my son has managed (somehow) to avoid actually hitting any furniture. Encourages musical play for children who have difficulty learning instruments. Highly recommended.
