Yamaha recently came out with the FGDP-30 and FGDP-50. Two devices that are made specifically for finger drumming, with onboard sounds, an onboard speaker, running on battery power and rocking an innovative and at the same time intuitive pad layout. I ofcourse got my hands on both FGDP devices ASAP and present my findings in this video.
