Who would have thought that your everyday Rock Band drum kit could actually receive a new lease of life in the scheme of a poker game controller? Poker Listings’ Sean Lind is the brain behind that notion, where he has conjured a fairly simple method of turning a regular Rock Band drum kit into a set of controls for poker. Guess those who enjoy a game of poker but do not have the skills to build it big moment can blame it on the lack of drumming skills next.

Omega Music Technology’s new GM-1 system will definitely appeal to music video game fans who want something with more substance during their Rock Band or Band Hero sessions at home. You can choose a standalone version or have one bundled with a Pearl drum set, where the system will come with individual sensors that are capable of detecting each drum hit with “speed and accuracy”. Those who prefer the drum set package will be able to enjoy real drum heads. that could very well be the ideal method for those who want to learn how to play drums, as non-gamer musicians can play songs on it nearly immediately without lost a beat (pun not intended). The basic system will start from $249 upwards.

Music helps spur creativity, and sometimes when you’re trying to meet a writing deadline but are suffering from an extremely poor case of writer’s block right in the middle of the night, putting on your favorite rock band’s tunes isn’t really going to help. How about getting the Vox series of headphone amplifiers to help you rock out without having the police knock on your door? The Vox amPlug can be connected into an electrified instrument of choice, followed by your headphones being hooked up into the amPlug. There are half a dozen flavors to choose from, where each of them simulate a different Vox amplifier as you choose from acoustic, metal, bass and several lead guitar tones. Powered by a couple of AAA batteries with approximately 15 hours of running duration, they retail amidst a range of $56 and $64.
