Percuss Beats On Your Lap
People like to express themselves by sharing their emotions with others. Music is used as one of the most significant measures of communicating one’s feelings. Lapbeat is a digital percussion instrument that can be played anywhere, in any position, and at anytime. Lapbeat has been designed with precise ergonomic considerations for playing in a sitting position. This digital percussion instrument has adapted and innovatively redefined the sound structure of classical percussion instruments where sound of the drumming echoes and flows out from below. By installing built-in speakers at the bottom and v-drum (advanced electronic MIDI drum trigger) technology into the touch pads, the timbre of the sound is made deeper and richer.

Oh, my, yes. I would love such a gadget. As depicted, though, it seems like it would be awkward to use in a furniture-less environment (i.e., sitting on the ground), something that many hand drums of similar overall shape are well suited for.
Wo gibt es das zu kaufen, für solch eine geniale Idee gibt es doch bestimmt eine Firma die das herstellt.
Where can I buy this, there will one company, which will produce this, or not.
so is this using roland’s patented v-drum piezo technique? this is what their hand-sonic SHOULD be…
How about PRICES? I have looked everywhere and cannot locate any kind of a price or store location to buy at.
since i’m an event producer here in Manila. i definitely could use a musical m gadget like that. when will it be available?

Sorry!
It’s only my concept design.
when will it be in production, if ever?
it is a good concept, it could fill the gap between the Wavedrum by Korg and the TD10 and Handsonic by Roland, a gap that surely needs to be filled soon!
there is already a turkish drum called “darbuka” (probably also used by greeks and middle east communities , nomads in region etc.) that has the same design. altough it is not electronic - its i dont know, 1000 years old? - it serves the same purpose.
here is a picture of a darbuka i mentioned above:
