Video - Silverlit VBeat Air Drums Offer Drum Kit Free Virtual Drumming

For those who do not own an Apple iPhone or iPod iTouch so cannot partake of a little virtual drumming courtesy of Moo Cow Music’s iPhone and iPod iTouch Drum Machine, perhaps these Silverlit VBeat Air Drums will suffice until you manage to save up for a real drum kit or come to the conclusion that, despite what you think, drumming really just isn’t something you’re particularly cut out for.

Coming complete with a series of differing sound styles and pre-programmed rhythms – though the product site fails to detail either what sort of sound styles or how many rhythms are actually available – these Silverlit VBeat Air Drums come with two drumsticks with integral motion sensors and, unlike comparable products, even foot pedals, all of which plug into the Silverlit VBeat waist station which acts as the main control unit as well as a speaker unit.

Additionally, if the images provided on the product page are anything to go by, the drumsticks also sport LEDs in their tips (allowing for some neat visual effects during low light virtual drumming sessions) though, as the product information on what is a somewhat poorly presented website (hence the poor quality imagery featured in this post) omits any mention of integrated LEDs we are unable to substantiate whether they are included or not.

Silverlit VBeat Air Drum Features:

• Three play modes
• Free style (free playing)
• Easy go (play pre-programmed rhythms)
• Pop academy (guided learning step by step)

Silverlit’s VBeat Air Drums kit retails for around £30 (roughly $60) though are listed as being out of stock at the time of writing.
