Think Geek Electronic Drum shirt
Have you seen ThinkGeek's Drum Machine Electronic Shirt? This wearable, fully-playable tee fits a DJ quality drum machine into a completely new format. Talk about a mobile beat maker. These guys are taking music and technology and apparel to a different level.

Simply tap the electronic drum pads stitched on the front of the t-shirt to produce a rhythm. Then loop the beat (up to three minutes long), and watch your chest become the life of the party. Genius.

Not only can you create your own loops, but ThinkGeek provides you with 9 different drum kits to start. In addition, the electronic shirt comes with a mini-amp (which connects to the audio output jack from the drum machine) that you can clip to your pants. And, yes, you can remove the electronics for washing.

Here are some more of the features that come with the tee:

  • 9 Different Drum Kits with 7 professional grade drum sounds each
  • ROCK DRUMS
  • RETRO 808
  • TECHNO PUNK
  • CLASSIC JAZZ
  • CHIPTUNE
  • SCRATCHY
  • Records and Loops Your Rhythms
  • Record loops up to 3 minutes in length
  • Create a loop, then build and layer beats on top with unlimited tracks
  • Amazing 7-voices (you can actually hit all 7 drum pads at once)
  • Mix and match sounds from the different built-in drum kits in one loop
