Beat-Making Tees

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Get Your Rhythm on with the Electronic Drum Machine Shirt

— December 12, 2011 — Pop Culture
For those who remember ThinkGeek's guitar shirts that actually produce the sound of the instrument when tapped, meet the Electronic Drum Machine Shirt.

The good folks at ThinkGeek have once again come up with an interactive musical tee, and this time, it's all about the beats. The Electronic Drum Machine Shirt is a fully playable drum machine with nine different kits. There's also seven integrated professional grade sounds, which include ROCK DRUMS, RETRO 808, DISCOTEK and TECHNO PUNK. The shirt also lets you record and put the beat on a loop for up to three minutes. ThinkGeek has also created a miniature amplifier to clip on the belt so that whatever was created can be played loud and proud.

If you can't afford a real drum machine, then you might as well have fun with this shirt.
