That technique is awful and should never be attempted by anyone. This product looks like a fun gimmicky toy. As a drummer who has played countless shows, both on set, in orchestra, musicals, large sports venues, on top drumelines in marching bands, I would maybe enjoy messing around with it a bit. Past that, it is not really an "applicable" tool. I've done plenty of air drumming...even turning the sticks so the longer part hits the back of your forearm. And yes, I can play flam drags at 140 bpm on a very soft pillow. But nothing will replace rebound. You can't have accurate timing, feel, and sound articulation without it. -- SOURCE: I have been taught over the last 14 years by some of the top instructors, including the top DCI core caption heads.

Drumming isn't all about playing at a zillion bpm. You can play with a band, jam with musicians, play along to your favourite music, exercise your creativity, record song parts, practice your independence, and most other things with Aerodrums. To say that you "can't have accurate timing, feel, and sound articulation" is just plain wrong, especially when you have never even tried it.

  If you knew what you were talking about, you would know that drumming is ALL ABOUT the space between the notes. It is more difficult to be accurate at slower tempos. Given your comment, I know you do not have a great knowledge of music, specifically percussion, so good luck to you. For the record, I have tried very similar things. It's also physics...you know that science that plays an important role..., sorry but you can't break the laws of physics with a stupid toy. EDIT: I realize you play in a jam band with friends and have fun. I'm talking about professional drumming. Nobody in the crowd of drunk grandmothers watching your jam band gives a damn about your accuracy. In that case, have fun...
