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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-to-order) features a picture of an actual [playable drum kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crkd-drums) on the front. Tap the drums on this shirt with your finger and they play through the [built in speaker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fender-x-teufel). 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.
