OddBall Drum Machine

For music makers on the go, OddBall Drum Machine is a stylish, bouncing sphere that crams an entire drum machine into one compact space. OddBall allows you to make beats anywhere and everywhere, and is fun and intuitive to use.

The OddBall Drum Machine comes in two parts. You have the ball, a percussion trigger, and an app. Every time you bounce the ball off a surface, sensors communicate via Bluetooth with an app to play sound through your phone, speakers or headphones. The harder you bounce the ball, the more intense the sound. You can also use multiple balls at the same time, with each corresponding to a different sound, so you could potentially organize your own OddBall jam session.

Then, you can use the app to loop beats, create intricate melodies and add beats over other songs and effects. The app additionally has a social component to share beats with the community. The app is also compatible with tools such as Logic Pro X, GarageBand iOS and Ableton.

The cool thing about OddBall is anyone can use it — pro or novice. For those just looking to have fun while making some cool sounds, this works. For professionals who need a compact tool that can fit just about anywhere, this has you covered.

OddBall is available in multiple colors, and in packs of one, two, three and six. You can also pay extra to have your OddBall designed with a bespoke graphic or design, whether you want gold glitter or glow in the dark.

OddBall starts at $75.
