Sphero launches Specdrums line of app-enabled musical rings
Posted on 16th January 2019By Billy Langsworthy
Having acquired Specdrums back in June, Sphero has officially launched product for its new musical coding brand.
Specdrums are musical, app-enabled rings that empower kids of all ages and skill levels to create and play music by using colours on a variety of surfaces as their instruments.
Kids can also create their own masterpieces on the corresponding Specdrums app using hundreds of instruments, loops and sounds.
“Sphero recognises Specdrums as an opportunity to engage kids at the intersection of arts, math, science and technology, building a parallel framework between coding and music composition,” said Paul Berberian, CEO, Sphero.
“By seeing the world around them as a canvas, kids are able to use Specdrums to create their own songs using coding, which is really exciting for them, their parents and their teachers. Meanwhile, the creative pattern-making of loops and sounds strengthens their math and problem-solving skills.”
Specdrums retails at $64.99 for one-ring and $99.99 for two-rings.
“From the game mechanics and the world-building to the artwork and illustrations, every detail has been considered to capture the magic of the original films,” said Eduardo Lima, co-founder of Studio MinaLima.
“Being a regular supplier to the famous shop has been a wonderful experience – but being in the window is a dream come true,” said Sue Lockey, Owner & Co-Founder at The Puppet Company.
“We’ve crafted an experience that throws players right into the heart of a MrBeast challenge, full of high-pressure competition and unpredictable moments that will keep everyone on the edge of their seats,” said Ben Krenz, Global General Manager, Games at Moose Toys.
“From our earliest conversations with the Hugimals team, there was clear alignment in how our brands approach emotional connection and thoughtful product design,” said Karen Branson, Chief Commercial Officer at Relatable.
