The idea is simple: the keys on your computer keyboard trigger percussion notes. The number pad should provide ample space for several audio samples. Log in to the server and find a drum circle that's already grooving, or start your own.
A possible snag: lag-time. But maybe not--xbox live works....
I think I'd just log into a large drum circle whilst browsing the web and jump in from time to time whenever I was really feeling it.-- ShaneSezWhat, Jan 14 2010 Telematic Drum Circle http://www.telematicdrumcircle.net/Someone rigged up robots to play actual drums over the internet!

Now quick, someone count ;-)-- blissmiss, Jan 14 2010 + Halloween, some years ago, we had 300 people walk out of the club while we were playing (we were kicked off stage after about 15 minutes) after following some techno. However, one of the people in the audience was a member of The Clean, an old New Zealand indie band, and he grabbed the drummer after the show and told him that he thought we were excellent and had a lot of potential. He didn't recognize us individually from the stage and said that the only problem was that we needed a new drummer.-- leinypoo13, Jan 14 2010 random, halfbakery
