Totally awesome 80's drum set - Time Waster
by Jay Hathaway Mar 2nd 2009 at 2:00PM
On top of the retro sounds it makes, this drum set is also laid out like a garish rainbow keyboard that would make contemporary hardware designers nauseous just to look at.

The only complaint I have about this otherwise amazing Internet sound machine is the lack of any kind of "save" feature, which means you'll never hear the amazing beats I made on it.

Could someone adequately describe the sound on "I" so I can search for it? I'd quite like to get a sample of it without having to faff with Audacity etc.

I'm with Dach. It doesn't respond in real time well enough to be useful. Still, it's probably an excellent tool for aggravating everyone within earshot after about 3 minutes.
