DRUM BUDDY
02.16.2008

The Drum Buddy was crafted by New Orleans musician and inventor Quintron. Click HERE for more pics & info...



The Drum Buddy creates music like any other synthesizer but what separates this from the regular one is the fact that the oscillators on this musical synthesizer are light activated and you can play them intuitively by moving a can around which is located in the top of the Drum Buddy creating unique sound. Each of the 4 oscillators is represented by a different color and each has been designed to complete a total rhythm kit. There is a 10 turn potentiometer wired to control the spinning can motor speed. This allows the player to precisely beat match DRUM BUDDY rhythms to DJ records and drum machines.

Okay Kanye, there has been talk about 3 videos that have been produced. Is the "Flashing Lights" video 1 of the 3 new videos from your album? If so...which other 2 songs did you make the videos for?

Thats sick!
kanye i know you're always really busy and you have a real hectic schedule, but do you think you could take a second and read my letter to you in the Tour Talk section of your message board. It's worth it I promise. It would mean soo much.
JMelody | February 16, 2008
Where can i get a drum buddy>?
Derlee06 | February 16, 2008
I hope you can really find a minute out of your hectic, busy schedule to read this. I'm sure you get tons of letters like this everyday, but please give me a chance. 5 years ago, I was a 9 year old kid (3rd grade) when my bro got me The College Dropout for my birthday. My life changed since then. It was all i could listen too for the next several years of my childhood. I'd never heard anything like it before. It was like heaven to my ears! I memorized all the words to every single song,it was all i could think about. When you dropped Late Registration it was the same thing. I couldn't get it off my mind. Your songs inspired me to be the best person i could be everyday of my life. When you came to Pittsburgh for the "Touch The Sky" tour i got tickets as soon as i could, using my own money(at the time it was alot for a 6th grader). I can't put that concert into words. It was undescribeable for me. It was the best night I ever had in my entire life and still is. Pittsburgh doesnt ha

wow thats crazy!
tuesdainoelle | February 16, 2008
As I always put it when I'm still trying to gain the FULL knowledge and thought of one of your post that draws questions around my head, even after reading 5 times for understanding; "Thanks, for the education Kanye lol."
tuesdainoelle | February 16, 2008
@Derlee06: Hi :) Word of advice, that I've learned down through the years: The best WAY to get NOTICE, is not to TRY to. Standing OUT above the crowd is what gets you noticed :) In this, just by being YOU, you won't have to stay anything to anyone, they'll just see something different and unique about you. Then want to get to know you, people notice CHANGE :)

Mr.West I wonder if you'll ever read this but here it goes. I REALLY WANT TO SEE YOU IN CONCERT!!! I live in Cleveland,Ohio and I have been to every show you've done in my city. Just like everbody I was overly excited to see you on this Glow In The Dark tour. I am fans of all of your opening acts as well as being one of your BIGGEST fans. I know you hear that alot but honestly it is VERY TRUE! You have helped me through your music gain self-confidence and inspiration to control my own destiny. I am an 11th grader on the right track. I know what I want in my life and I'm going to use school to better myself. There are few things I ask for, I'm rather content with what I'm handed in this life. I really want to see you in concert it's just going to be heartbreaking if I can't see you. Don't get it twisted I AIN'T NO STAN LOL! But I really want to see this tour. So in closing if your reading this please consider coming to Cleveland for the tour.
With Much Love & Respect,
E.Kemp
