Music has gone completely digital when it comes to recording and creating, so the 'Drummy' [digital drums pad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crkd-drums) is intended to offer a more formalized, customizable method for making tracks. The 'Drummy' works by incorporating nine buttons that each correspond to a specific instrument or effect to let you have an entire band worth of sounds at your disposal.

Designed by Ivan Shmatko, the 'Drummy' drums pad enables users to [mix and match components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-blocks) in, while also keeping a low profile on your computer workstation. This enables users to create in a more formalized manner rather than by just clicking buttons on a screen, which speaks to a need for physical ways to interact with technology products rather than just via screens.
