[sdiy] tap tempo drummer midi controller thing?

[DSL FODA01]

Hi all -

Thanks everyone!  Of the suggestions thus far, I think I like the looks of
this Polytec 34one the best - compact, relatively inexpensive, etc.  From
what I can see it would do exactly what I want it to.  I'm not sure when
this thing came out - has anyone here used one live?

Dave
