Finger Drum Pads Exist And I Want This At My Desk
I am 100% not kidding, my birthday is in 6 weeks and this better show up at my house. Yamaha just introduced a Finger Drum Pads drum set. For all of us that non stop tap out beats on the desk, this is what we’ve always wanted.
The harsh reality of living in Southwest Florida is that our houses have no basements. Also, 9 months out of the year it’s way to hot to even consider setting up a drum set in the garage. That’s why I sold my beautiful Pearl birch drum set before I moved here from Ohio. DW double kick pedal and an amazing set of matched Sabian Cymbals. I think about that set often. But bringing it down here to Fort Myers just wasn’t going to happen. There was just no place to set it up. But I still tap out beats with my fingers all the time. And then today, I saw this.
