The TableDrum App Turns Your Fingers into Drumsticks

— August 18, 2011 — Tech
If you have always dreamed of playing drums, then you are going to love the new TableDrum app. TableDrum is an iPhone app that lets you turn any assortment of objects into a drum kit.

The TableDrum app can records sounds and maps them to the different parts of a drum kit. The sound recorded can be anything, from your fingers tapping on a table to a whistle. The result is a virtual drum kit that takes very little effort to play making it perfect for newbies (myself included) to get in touch with their inner drummer.

The app comes with a default classic rock drum kit, but that can be expanded to include drum kits from different music genres. The TableDrum app is available now in the iTunes app store for $3.99.
