OK—so the boss is not likely to approve of this gadget but it sure would be fun at home. This portable drum kit rolls up just like a mat for easy storage and carrying. Yet it lets you choose from up to six different drum kits so you can easily rock any beat you like. It comes with an easy plug and play system via a USB cable and your computer will record and play back your awesome drum solos. This is perfect for anyone whose always wanted to play the drums but just doesn’t have the space or budget for a tradition drum set. This would be an awesome gift for students or apartment dwellers—just make sure to send “sorry” notes to their roommates or next door neighbors in advance.

“Capable of being rolled up and stored in your desk drawer, this is the drum kit with six sensor pads that plugs into your PC to provide 70 percussion patterns, samples, loops, and effects while you play with your favorite music. The kit plugs into a USB port in your PC running Windows XP or Vista and the included software allows you to choose from six different drum kits, 48 rhythm patterns, eight special drum effects, and eight bass drum loops. Each pad may be programmed with different effects, enabling you to customize your set up for a cymbals-heavy Rock or djembe-dominant African feel. The software’s intuitive interface provides control over tempos from 40-208 beats per minute; you can also record and playback your own riffs.”
