Finger Drum Pads Exist And I Want This At My Desk

I am 100% not kidding, my birthday is in 6 weeks and this better show up at my house. Yamaha just introduced a Finger Drum Pads drum set. For all of us that non stop tap out beats on the desk, this is what we've always wanted.

The harsh reality of living in Southwest Florida is that our houses have no basements. Also, 9 months out of the year it's way to hot to even consider setting up a drum set in the garage. That's why I sold my beautiful Pearl birch drum set before I moved here from Ohio. DW double kick pedal and an amazing set of matched Sabian Cymbals. I think about that set often. But bringing it down here to Fort Myers just wasn't going to happen. There was just no place to set it up. But I still tap out beats with my fingers all the time. And then today, I saw this.

Today, Yamaha announced the new FGDP Series finger drums, the brand's first-ever, all-in-one finger drum pads designed for players at all skill levels. The stand-alone instruments, consisting of the FGDP-30 and FGDP-50, are portable, ergonomically designed and packed with a wide array of professional grade sounds. Check out the video.

So here's the details. The entry FGDP-30 model features ergonomic ultra-sensitive pads, 39 preset kits and USB MIDI / Audio. The advanced FGDP-50 model includes each of these capabilities plus additional preset kits and features, such as 50 user kits, session songs, eight additional RGB pads, a note repeat function, and playback sampler. And the price.

Looks like they're in preorder starting today.

So if you're like me, always tapping out rhythms at your desk, while watching tv, in the bathroom, wherever - they finally gave us an output. Finger drum pads are real.
