Summary: Loved it but it died
Comment: My 5-year-old loved this toy but it has completely died. Sad because he thought it was great fun. E-mails to the customer service listed in the manual bounce and it's way too expensive to buy a replacement.
We did also have a huge laugh because it was near impossible to remove from the packaging. Directions were INSIDE the box when we finally got it open (no joke, it took at least 30 minutes, a phillips screwdriver and lots of patience).

Summary: Great concept, poor workmanship, sensors don't work at all
Comment: This toy is a great concept, and the ipod connection is a great idea. The "speakers" on top of the device are fake, there is just one speaker on the bottom of the unit. The sensors, the things that make the drum noises, didn't work at all. This was a gift from a somewhat distant relative, so we can't really ask for the receipt. And anyway, the packaging really got torn apart, being as it requires a surgeon, an engineer, and an auto mechanic to get at it.
Fresh batteries did not help. Everything works except for the main component of the toy, the sensors. What a piece of garbage. My son was so disappointed.
Blue Man Group should be sad to see their brand tarnished by this junk that not even they could fashion into an instrument.
**Update: finally got it exchanged, and it is fun for a few minutes, kids don't play with it much. I guess they got tired of looking at it when it didn't work. Big hassel. Bad product. Company reps on phone not helpful at all.

Summary: Tubes for Percussionist
Comment: The packaging on this product is crazy; you don't find out you have to undo the bottom screws until you already have the package open somehow. ;-) Besides that, this is a lot of fun, with lots of different ways to use/be creative with it. I got it for an adult who is getting into percussion, not a kid, and he seemed really intrigued (we've seen the Blue Man Group).

Summary: Loved it!
Comment: My eight-year-old son received this as a Christmas gift. He spent a considerable amount of time playing with it upon opening it and quite often since then. The item was ready to go--no assembly, although the box was a little tricky to open. He ultimately took it with him to "jam" with his twenty-four-year-old cousin and had a blast. He has been to two BMG shows and was thrilled to receive this gift. While not intended for professional musicians--it is a TOY--it has been ideal for his use. I highly recommend it for the fun factor and as a creative outlet.

Inspired by the ever-popular Blue Man Group, these tabletop percussion tubes play drums and other instruments in a full octave range. New motion-sensor technology allows for quiet operation and smooth control. Sound can be heard through internal speakers, headphones, or an external amplifier (not included). Percussion tubes are MP3-compatible, meaning you can create music on top of your favorite MP3 tracks. Includes Blue Man Percussion Tubes, two drumsticks and earphones. Requires 4 "AA" batteries (included). Colors may vary.
