A Better Look at Things
:
The USB Christmas Drumming Santa Claus comes in a seasonal, festively decorated box. Inside we only find Santa with his groovy drum kit and a double ended USB cable to power him up.
Santa says he don’t wanna work, he just wants to bang on his drum all day…
On the front near the bottom is a label directly under the on/off button to let you know what the button is for… The label needs to go really though..
The back of Santa’s ‘stage’ is where you’ll find the USB power connection.

Installation, Testing and Movies:
Well there is nothing to the installation procedure, just plug him in and that’s it.
Santa bangs his drums to the beat of four slightly re-mixed Christmas or Holiday tunes, the drums light up blue as he taps out his groovy beat.
And here’s the movies for you to check out:
Santa can really get his groove on can’t he?!
I have to say my kids love this thing, especially my 2yr old son, he thinks it’s the coolest little gadget yet. When he’s around he makes me keep it on my desk and every once in a while he’ll wonder by and press the button and do a little dance and then go about his business until the next time he remembers it’s there.
Summary:
The USB Christmas Drumming Santa Claus from USBFever is one of those gadgets that’s kinda hard to review, it’s not meant to be a serious thing, just plain fun, and this it accomplishes.
It’s actually made very well, my 2yr old will carry it around the house and play with it a bit, until he wants to hear it then he brings it back and plugs it in. If it can survive the abuse of my 2yr old son it can survive most anything.
DragonSteelMods gives the USB Christmas Drumming Santa Claus from USBFever a 5 out of 5 score.
Pros:
-Makes a great gift
-Inexpensive
-Well made
-Great way to annoy your co-workers!
-Kids love it
Cons:
