V-Beat Electronic Drumsticks [Digital Drumsticks Let You Air-Drum In Style...Sort of]

We all know that air drumming doesn’t look nearly as cool as air guitar. This is an irrefutable fact that some find hard to face. After all, who doesn’t like to watch someone flailing their arms around to When the Levee Breaks? Sad, I know. Well, if you’re a hard-core air drummer (or even the real deal) we have a great little gadget that will have your high-hat tingling with excitement and your tech toes tapping right along. Give it up for the V-Beat Drumsticks.

The V-Beat Electronic drumsticks feature advanced motion-sensitive sensors that are said to respond accurately to each of your movements. These things are supposed to be able to determine which part of the drum you are bashing away on and then respond with the appropriate sound byte. It includes sounds for the high tom, ride cymbal, crash cymbal, low tom and snare. There’s even a pair of foot pedals to control the hi-hat and bass drum.

To jam along with the V-Beat drumsticks, you connect the sticks and foot pedals to a base station and power on. You can play along free style (drum solo time), to several pre-programmed songs or plug in your MP3 player and play along with your fave tunes. It sure sounds like they have all of the bases covered. So if you are ready to impress your friends or just work on your chops, head on over to www.gazoo.co.uk where you can pick up your own V-Beat drumsticks for 29.95GBP (about $49).
