The kits feature seven colour choices as well as 18 flashing and strobe effects. Now if that's not a way to liven up a dull gig we don't know what is.

You can also tinker with the brightness and flashing speed, if you really want to be in control of every last detail.

Spaun can also make the system DMX compatible, meaning that it can be controlled through any DMX software program or lighting console. Which we're sure will be a relief to plenty of tech-lovin' drummers out there.
