Mark,

I think you are referring to Roland's new "Hand Drum" unit.  It is definitely 
a very cool toy, but it's not a Physical Modeling device.  It's just a plain 
old sample playback box (albeit with some very nice real-time control 
functions, and a very sensitive playing surface).

It's too bad that Korg kind of dropped the ball on their WaveDrum.  It's 
quite a nice instrument.  I have the Spectrasonics "Liquid Grooves" sample 
CD, and the WaveDrum playing that's tastefully sprinkled about on that CD is 
one of the things that really makes it come alive, making it one of the best 
loop CD's I've ever heard.
