Light-Up Drumsticks For Rock Band, Former PLUR Kiddies
Like my glowstick raver phase come back to haunt me, the Ant Commandos have produced a Rock Band accessory that lights up the night with colors and, arguably, tangible proof of substance abuse. These so-called "Illuminated Drumsticks" come in two shoutrageous flavors, "flame red" and "electric blue," and will retail for a suggested $19.99 per pair.
The whole shaft of each stick will light up with its associated color whenever the drumstick strikes a surface in a, you know, drumstick-like fashion. It's like a laser show in your pants hands!
"When performing with TAC's new Illuminated Drumsticks, Rock Band drummers will literally be the highlight of the band" said Jesse Manwill, Senior Manager, Product Management at TAC. "The incredible light effects of our Illuminated Drumsticks will be a hit for players and audiences alike. The unique strike-activated whole body LED illumination provides mind-blowing effects during intense flames and rolls."
See? Even the corporate language is packed with trippy references! Blow your mind with the intensity of these funky-fresh stix - made of a transparent, durable polycarbonate and powered by two AAA batteries. You couldn't handle anything cooler than this, man. What's next, spent nuclear fuel rods?
