I'm a strong proponent of getting music and technology into a kid's hands a very young age. This Ion Digital Drum Station accomplishes both of these objectives. This portable drum kit has eight touch sensitive pads to which sounds can be programmed and an electronic drum machine. Also important is that it works with headphones, so the user can bang away without disturbing others.
