Reminds me of Rowan Atkinson's brilliant skit.

These aerodrums look really cool... if actually you can play anything with them?!?

And those ibanez with the pad controller open a new world of sound... I wonder if we are on the brink of a music revolution...

I hope in NAMM 2015 they sell talent, because I need it urgently!

Aerodrums & air guitar
what a combo -

Nektar is well-known for their integration of keyboard controllers with popular DAWs, particularly in their Panorama line. Now they've announced a new line of keyboard controllers called Impact which support Cubase, Digital Performer, Garageband, Logic, Nuendo, REAPER, Reason, SONAR and Studio One. And in case you don't already have a software DAW, it comes with PreSonus Studio One Artist (at least the 49-key version does; I assume the others do as well). And the price of these keyboards is quite low for what you get. Only $119 US for the 25-key LX25, $159 for the LX49, $199 for the LX61, and $299 for the LX88. I believe the LX49 is available now and the LX25 will be available in February. Not sure about the others. Only the LX49 is on their website.

And I really like the Panorama P4 which they've tightly integrated with Bitwig Studio. Nektar will be distributing Bitwig Studio in the UK and the USA. Unfortunately, it's too expensive for me right now ($500 for the keyboard and $400 for Bitwig Studio).

Yes, the air drums are real cool and quite inexpensive!
