Namco Taiko drum master

It makes more of a plastic racket than an actual drum sound, but the game that's packaged with this controller is a blast, allowing you to drum to popular tunes karaoke-style. Unfortunately, after you bang through the 31 songs in the game, you'll have little use for this one-trick pony. *
