The Electronic Drum Kit Shirt

— September 25, 2008 — Fashion
Ready to march to the beat of your own drum? This innovative new product from Think Geek is set to have people tapping out a beat on their chest. 

The electronic t-shirt features a picture of an actual playable drum kit on the front. Tap the drums on this shirt with your finger and they play through the built in speaker. With 7 different drum sounds, you're ready to rock out a personal drum solo on your chest.

A battery pack with speaker stores is within a hidden pocket near the hem of the shirt. The volume is adjustable--and apparently, the top volume level is really loud.
