Double-Stroke Roll Encouraged
September 28, 2008 9 Comments
Rhythm video games are all the rage these days. With the recent release of Rock Band 2 and the impending arrival of Guitar Hero World Tour, everybody and their mom has been happily jamming away on their expensive plastic peripherals. But what are those people to do when they are forced to tear themselves away from their music games for extended periods of time? Thankfully ThinkGeek has come the rescue. One of their newest wearable offerings, available for a very reasonable $29.99, is a t-shirt that has an actual playable drum kit on the front. Hitting the drums with your finger (or any other drum stick-shaped appendage you may have handy) will reward you with one of seven different drum sounds that play through an embedded battery-powered speaker. If someone could ask them to make me a female babydoll version where the cymbals are a little farther apart and the base drum pedal hangs slightly below the belt, that would be fabulous. Then I’d just need someone skilled enough to play on Expert and I’d be all set.
So, as cool as that is, I have to wonder how sensitive it is. If it takes to much pressure to activate, you’ll be punching yourself in the chest, and if it is too sensitive, you’ll be a percussive cacophony wherever you go just because you’re walking. It’s super niche, but for thirty bones I’d wear it. As for you angel, I find it astonishing that you manage to slip sexual innuendos in to everything. It’s a talent.
Hold on, I’m still thinking about that female “push my buttons” version.
I’ve always considered my one track mind to be more of a curse than a blessing Das Kalk. But at least it provides some entertainment here and there, eh? :)
Hehe, you’re eating dinner at someone’s house, and someone makes a corny joke…You tap your chest… Ba da BING…lol
Hopefully someone got that, otherwise it probably sounds stupid.
LOL, … I got it and I would totally do that! That would be a riot.
Maybe they need to make a shirt that has a dude laughing, and when you hit him, he let’s out a really loud and obnoxious laugh. You can use it for when someone makes a dumb joke and you want to publicly embarrass them… I do it to my brother all the time.
I don’t need a shirt for that Das Kalk! I do it all the time.
Whenever somebody makes a bad joke I do a very loud and fake laugh and make a sarcastic comment.
Like
‘AHAHAHAHAHA That was so hilarious Dan’
I often do it to my science teacher who thinks he is funny.
Brother: So he said fish!
Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOOOOD! YOU ARE THE FUNNIEST PERSON EVER! DO YOU WRITE YOUR OWN STUFF?!
Brother: …shut up…

We were asked to leave
