If you have a drummer, or would-be-drummer, in your household, here's a perfect gift.
These motion-activated drumsticks allow you to drum along with songs from a connected iPod or any other music device with an audio output. There's a control module which clips to a belt and has a cable for your iPod and another audio output for connecting to a stereo system or headpones for silent play.

Both sticks have buttons that allow you to add combinations of different drum or cymbal effects, including a snare drum, bass drum, tom, floor tom, hi-hat, and crash cymbal.

If you're looking to do a prolonged drum solo, you can program it to just give you background rhythms (choice of 6.) Volume and tempo controls allow you to adjust sound levels. Measures 11/2" H x 2 1/2" W x 13 3/4" L. (1 lb.)

Makes for a happy drummer and (relatively) sane partner.
