Actually, smashing anything against another object is so much fun. These illuminated drumsticks add a beautiful element to playing some tunes. They're very simple (which intrigues me that someone hasn't done this before) in their design, just drumsticks that [light up when you hit something](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tap-tap-table-lamp). You have to admit that drumming will never be the same after hitting your symbols with the illuminated drumsticks. **Implications** - Products that take advantage of a neat and interesting design aesthetic will be widely accepted by consumers.
