I don't think I've quite achieved the NPOV; need to tone down the pro-Zendrum attitude, especially with respect to comparison with traditional drums. On the other hand, this comparison seems natural to some degree, and if I avoid it altogether the article will get very abstract. Most Zendrummers consider themselves drummers, and many came from (and sometimes still play) traditional drum kits. Their discussions frequently reference traditional drum names and techniques. So I'll try to find the right balance...

As for the sound samples, I think it might be better just to refer to the official Zendrum page (and its related forum) which has many audio and video examples of Zendrums being played...

On the other hand, I'm willing to bet that Wikipedia will be around longer than the Zendrum company. David McCabe 01:10, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I see many zendrum-like midi controllers on the market, one among them is Yamaha DD-55 Digital Percussion. I personally own one DD-55. Though it is pretty novice(only 7 triggers + 1 foot trigger, 1 sustain), it is still pretty good for home party usage and practicing since it has a pretty large rubber pad. Actually I am named BNJ representing Benjamin Jones. But that name is occupied. (talk) 05:21, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking some images in this page would be good. I'll try to find some Creative Commons images, maybe on Flickr. Flash man999 (talk) 04:02, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Infinite Loop?[edit]

There's some kind of weird loop going on here. This article references the "Drumitar", but all attempts to access the Drumitar article redirect back here. Indeed, I got here in the first place while looking for information on the Drumitar.

This "Zendrum" is definitely NOT the Drumitar invented by Roy Wooten. Is there no separate article on the actual Drumitar? If not, there needs to be one.

Any discussion of the Zendrum/Drumitar needs to include the SynthAxe upon which it is based. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6016:33:78CD:ADFA:488A:A536 (talk) 17:46, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
