Silverlit V-Beat Air Drums—Motion-Sensor Sticks for Schmucks

Silverlit, purveyors of remote-controlled things that fly, have come up trumps with their V-Beat Air Drums. Containing motion sensors (but, sadly, no neon tips like you see in the picture) they are the beans to the toast that is the V-Beat air guitar. Plug your iPod into the control box and drum along to whatever you fancy. There's even some kind of pedal thingy that lets you drum with your feet, although the protruding wires made me think "shoe bomb." Video of the $60 friend-isolator after the jump. More »

Rock Band Drums Modded to Use With Pencils

Someone called David Yoon has reconverted his Rock Band drum kit into what any student (former or not) will recognize as the One and Only True Form of Drumming: pencil drumming. He replaced "the smallish stock piezo transducers with bigger ones from Radio Shack" and reconverted the pedal with a foam and CD sandwich. This way, David says he can do the Ringo at 2am without waking up the neighbours. [Flickr]
