ABSTRACT:
A portable drum sound simulator, especially suitable for carrying by the user, includes a pair of drumsticks containing electrical switches which are actuated by change in motion. The switches are connected to a trigger circuit which initiates operation of a drum sound generator every time a switch is closed. The drum sound signal after amplification drives a loudspeaker. The circuits and loudspeaker are all contained in a small portable case. In an alternative embodiment, a radio receiver is included, whereby the simulator is selectively used as an independent radio, an independent drum sound simulator, or combining the radio signal with the operator produced drum signals.
