A new t-shirt incorporating smart fabrics which allow users to play a drum machine, has been launched into the consumer market.
The Electronic Drum Machine shirt from ThinkGeek includes different pads which will allow for nine different drum kits to be played. Users are able to record up to three minutes of sound and play it back through an amp, which can be connected to the shirt via a jack plug. The electronics are removable, allowing easy washing of the shirt, reports technology website CNET.
The shirt is available for $29.99 (€22.95) and can be paired with another product from the company, the drum kit jeans, to create a walking rhythm ensemble.
