When I first saw the Air Guitar Pro, I marvelled at the amazing capabilities of that toy. Even though I would likely never play one, it was fun, quirky and is actually a musical instrument all its own. Here’s one, though, that I’d actually pay good money for: air drums.

Using a pair of motion-activated drumsticks and a wireless drum pedal, you can simulate the sound of an entire drum set without actually hitting anything. The sticks can effectively create the sounds of a snare, hi-hat, ride, crash and tom toms. A receiver unit fitted with its own speaker takes the signal and transforms it into a realistic sounding drum solo. You can choose to play through the packaged speakers, connect it to your hi-fidelity setup or plug in earphones. Hell, plug it into your stage setup and play invisible drums for the world to see.
It’s the first truly ultra-portable drum kit you can take anywhere – just two sticks, a pedal and a speaker! Raise hell and play it at full volume inside the subway if you want to. Additionally, you can plug in your favorite music player to the speakers and pound along with it.
The quality of the sound is surprisingly pretty good. With a little studio magic (ok, maybe a lot), you can probably record your drum parts using only this pair of sticks and a pedal. Paired with the Air Guitar, this could be the start of the world’s first band with invisible instruments. How cool would that be?
