Neat, but you could do the same thing and more really easily in Max/MSP, and there are much neater things being done with WiiMotes. Worth checking out if you haven't got/don't know how to use Max/MSP, PD, SuperCollider, ChucK, etc.

DumbFuck!

disclaimer: I know nothing about this product. It may well be the best thing since the bass drum pedal. But, hey, that "DumbFuck", it just popped into my head, straightaway. I can't help it.

This is exciting, and I hope someone releases a MAX or PD implementation.

He should toss in the Wii-Fit pad to get the kick drum in there too.

That actually might be really useful for sequencing drums. Okay, maybe not "really" useful. But useful.

Cool. Seems really complicated to configure though, for a non-code nerd.
