>* Roland HPD-15 - Electronic Hand Percussion unit with stand $550
>(very cool unit!)

I second this sentiment!  The HPD-15 Handsonic is great fun and can be used 
as a cool MIDI controller with pressure sensitive pads and twin 
ribbons!  The D-Beam, while a neat gimmic isn't very usable, at least from 
my experience.  If you are a "finger drummer" this is a neat way to play 
drums.  Someone should snatch this up, especially at this price!
