The instrument
A Zendrum is a handmade MIDI controller that is used as a percussion instrument. There are several models: Z1, ZX, EXP, ZAP series, LT and the Mallet Pro series as well as Melodic Finger. The Zendrum ZX and Z1 can be carried like a guitar or played on a stand. They consist of a triangular hardwood body with 24 touch-sensitive round MIDI triggers. The Zendrum was influenced by the Drumitar, invented by Future Man. (Wikipedia)
