My step-mother got my dad an electronic drum set for his 50th birthday. So being the geek I am, I immediately dove into the manual and figured out the buttons while my brother, the-guy-in-the-band, sat down and banged away.

Since it doesn’t have speakers (yet) it sounded like just hitting — but in the headphones it was any kind of drumset you wanted. Pretty cool.

(It’s too bad I can’t post the bigger version — you can get a real sense of how intense he gets by the way he’s staring … just can’t pick up on that detail at this scale. )
