What is a Drumitar?

Many people have asked me what a drumitar is. This taken from  a Wiki article titled Drumitar. And refers to the  Original instrument created about 20 years ago by Futureman the percussionist with the Flecktones.



The Synthaxe Drumitar is an instrument created by Roy "Future Man" Wooten of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. The Drumitar comprises piezo elements mounted in a guitar shaped body, connected by cable to assorted MIDIdevices including samplers and drum machines. The instrument is one of a kind, and it was originally modified from aSynthAxe previously owned by jazz musician Lee Ritenour.
