Toys and Games Reviews of Blue Man Group Percussion Tubes

Customer Review: Loved it but it died
Summary: 2 Stars

My 5-year-old loved this toy but it has completely died. Sad because he thought it was great fun. E-mails to the customer service listed in the manual bounce and it's way too expensive to buy a replacement.

We did also have a huge laugh because it was near impossible to remove from the packaging. Directions were INSIDE the box when we finally got it open (no joke, it took at least 30 minutes, a phillips screwdriver and lots of patience).

Description of Blue Man Group Percussion Tubes

Inspired by the ever-popular Blue Man Group, these tabletop percussion tubes play drums and other instruments in a full octave range. New motion-sensor technology allows for quiet operation and smooth control. Sound can be heard through internal speakers, headphones, or an external amplifier (not included).

Percussion tubes are MP3-compatible, meaning you can create music on top of your favorite MP3 tracks. Includes Blue Man Percussion Tubes, two drumsticks and earphones. Requires 4 "AA" batteries (included). Colors may vary.


Everyone loves music. Whether making up lyrics to a favorite tune, drumming the steering wheel while driving, or playing air guitar along with the video, you know you love music. But the Blue Man Group wants you to take that love one step further: they want you to create music. And this set of percussion tubes inspired by their live stage show is just the device you need to get started. This compact box (just shy of two feet by one foot) consists of eight PVC tubes that emit an invisible beam. By simply waving the included sticks, or even your hands, above the tubes, you break that beam and create a unique sound. Now imagine the variety of amazing tunes that you can make by breaking the beams at different intervals, from various distances, at changing speeds, and so on. The eight tubes reflect the sounds of the cymbal, snare, electric snare, conga, ride cymbal, hi-hat, hi-timbale, and bass drum.

Percussion Tubes
Wave sticks over tube openings to create fun, unique sounds.
While that might sound like enough to keep you occupied, the musical versatility doesn't stop there. This magical kit provides even more interactive ways to make music with 10 pre-programmed songs, a speed drum setting that adjusts tempo, plus five instrument sounds to choose from: Blue Man tubes, drums, steel drums, xylophone, and marimba. You can also insert your iPod or other MP3 player into the loading dock to mix, fade, layer, or just play along with your favorite songs.

High-quality, built-in speakers and volume control let others hear your musical wanderings straight from the tubes, or you can use the audio out jack and run the system through your stereo or TV. If the hour is late or baby is sleeping, you can plug the included earphones into the headphone jack and entertain yourself without disturbing those around you. There's even a way to record your jam sessions and then play them back and a spot to plug in a microphone (not included) should you want to explore your vocal talents, too. When the concert is over, a storage tube keeps the wave sticks ready for the next time. Four AA batteries are required, but not included.
