Aseem Mishra Wins National Engineering Competition With Pair of Pants
Meghan Young — April 5, 2011 — Unique
For those of you who can't keep the beats in your head, I would like to draw your attention to the Drum Kit Jeans. No, it is not a pair of jeans with strap-on drums, it's a pair of jeans that magically act as the drums.
Created by Aseem Mishra, the Drum Kit Jeans were recently awarded top prize at the Young Engineer of Great Britain Competition, which included a trophy as well as 1000 pounds. He received the award during the Big Bang Science Fair.
Inspired by his love of drumming, the Drum Kit Jeans were invented to lessen the load when Mishra's band had a gig around the city. Able to play a hi-hat, bass, cymbal and kick, he very well could tour with just his jeans if it ever came down to it.
