      I like how the second stick listens and "improvises"....hope it's a regular drummer programming that part and not someone who thinks more is better.

          haha, agreed. But since my right arm is having issues, it's nice to know there is an alternative!

        Hmm... Rick Allen has been playing with one arm for decades and plays waaaaayyyyyyy better then this guy with his prosthetic. Nothing against the guy, but I think he should follow in Rick's footsteps and get some e-drums and lots of pedals. I dont see this becoming a viable option for decades, and after that it will cost ~$200K for the thing. Seriously, a E-kit and pedals along with practice will have this guy up and running in less than a year.
        I think my work is done here.

          I don't see so good, is that my Dad griping about how things were back in his day? Seems to me like this is a prototype and it took Rick Allen a long time to get his playing back up to speed. I'm all for this guy continuing to work on this, hell, I used to sequence a few songs when I started on edrums so I could hit the bar on a song I did not like to play, lol. Anything that makes my life easier, I'm all for!
