Actually, don’t do that, we’re pretty sure that there isn’t a warranty in existence that will forgive deliberately hitting your phone with drum sticks and though we’re not Phil Collins or anything, we’re pretty sure it wouldn’t sound very good either.
If you simply must use your phone for percussive thrills however, then this simple drum machine application is well worth a look. Spotted by the folks over at all about symbian, a very clever (and musical) chap called Saku Tiainen developed BeatEd for himself to play guitar along with. After realizing that his creation was really rather good, he gave it a bit of a spruce up and released a full public version which can be found here.
All you need to do is sequence your drum loops using the simple interface, plug your smartphone into an amp via the headphone jack, and away you go. Hit the jump for a full video demo.
