With Sega’s Live Dream Sensor Stage you don’t have to listen the music as it has been released. You choose not only what song to play but which of the instruments you want to hear. The concept is simple: if you want to hear a particular instrument for the song that is playing, just place it on the stage. If you don’t want to hear any particular instrument, just leave it off the stage. There are two sets available, a rock set and a jazz set that have different included songs and instruments with downloadable tracks available online for each. Both sets have working, music enabled stage lighting but apparently no smoke machine is included.

Why any parent would purchase this kit for their children is beyond me. Perhaps they are looking to indulge their child’s creative side—or they are freaky masochists that enjoy crippling headaches brought on by loud, semi-musical noise vomit. The set includes a miniature slide whistle, harmonica, kazoo, flute, pan pipes, maracas, and a tambourine.
And, most importantly, it comes with a set of earplugs.

You can make a coaster out of pretty much anything. These Airplane instrument Coasters are one more example, but one that seems a little more realistic and unusual. They look just like what you would see when you were flying a plane. At least in this case you wouldn’t need hundreds of hours of training to use them, though I still have friends that haven’t grasped the concept of using a coaster.
