Other than my phone and laptop, the tech product I’ve used most over the last six months is the Yamaha FGDP-50 finger drum pad, and it’s not even close. Sometimes I play it in a disciplined way to try to get better at playing drums, and sometimes I bang on it mindlessly to blow off steam. The thing is versatile—and it’s 20% off for Black Friday, bringing its price down to $239.99 (originally $299.99).
The FGDP-50 is a portable, cordless, digital rhythm box that lets you play drums anywhere, in any style, with no other equipment. It’s simple enough that anyone could pick it up and bang out a rhythm on any of the 58 preset drum kits instantly, but on a deeper level, it’s real instrument, with an intuitively arranged set of responsive drum pads that allow for subtle percussion. You can program or import your own drum sounds, connect it to your computer or other gear, and use it to record and play “real” music.
