Mar 27 2008Drum Table Makes Noise If You Bang On It
The Musical Rumba Table, from MusicalFurnishings.com, makes noise when you bang around on it. That's because it's actually a table with different percussion instruments attached to the underside of the individual tiles. You can even customize your piece by choosing from the 12 available percussion modules (cowbell, tambourine, snare, bongo, etc.). They come in sizes from 2' x 2' ($800) to 4' x 4' ($2,900) and might be worth it if you can't eat dinner without musical accompaniment. Or you could, oh I don't know, just eat a lot of beans. Toot toot! Seriously though, this seems like a great buy. Just look how much fun those people in the picture are having. Tons. It's like an African drumming circle, but a square. And with no Africans, just a bunch of pasty white people.

Wow, that's got to suck for the cheating spouse. I mean, the husband's finally asleep & you've snuck your boytoy into the house. After some wrestling on the couch, he throws you on the table for the main event... only to be interrupted when your husband comes downstairs to ask why it sounds like a percussion band was banging away for a half hour. Then you have to get a divorce, all because you had to get the freaking table.

I am not so sure that it looks like fun either. The guy in the pic looks as if he's about to die! Maybe that is the "hidden" tile- a drum that kills people. If I had to guess, it was the lady in the top right, in the dining room, with the secret tile of the drum table... INGENIOUS!!!

wow, those people look like wannabe hippies and who the hell wants to be that...
The idea is kinda cool but let's get serious, the idea is awful and the prices are ridiculous for something I can make with some plywood.

A prop from a David Lynch film maybe?

I know a guy who had an entire apartment of stuff like this. It was great fun to play the walls and doors and furniture.

If they were serious about marketing this, they would have put a black person or a hispanic person to beat the drum...that white guy had NO rhythm at all. Jeez.
I do agree though, for the poor schmuck who buys this...MORE COWBELL!
