REVIEWS OF MY SON’S TOYS: Indian Drum
Rescued from a batch of cousinly abandonments. It’s an electronic instrument that makes a snare-drum noise when struck, or starts playing a tune, and lights flash within. No big deal. But if you flip it on its side and roll it, the drum plays a nonsense-song and pulses its lights along with its own rolling motions … it has some kind of accelerometer inside, I guess. In this mode it’s sort of mesmerizing, especially when the room is dim or dark and the lights’ reflections play off the windows. I’m pretty sure this would work well with “Interstellar Overdrive.”
Bite It? Nah, this is more of a headspace thing. Just roll it and let it go, man.
