EXPRESS yourself! Choose a song on your phone or a song online to jam along with. Pick a percussion instrument on the Echo Life app on your smartphone and jam along by simply moving your hands. It's similar to air drumming but you can hear it and feel your drumming through vibrations in the wristbands. Use this feature as a unique, live performance tool. Use it to record music tracks for a composition. Practice drum lessons or practice rhythms for an upcoming performance or simply just jam out to a song. Overall, this Echo Life feature allows you to be creative anywhere at any time through an enjoyable, realistic, music interactive experience.

Echo Life can comfort you while you fall asleep. Pick a song to fall asleep or relax to and the vibrations in the wristbands will match the music. Enjoy hearing and feeling the music as it soothes you. Echo Life will gradually reduce the volume of the music and the vibration intensity according to your heart rate in real time. It gradually gets quieter as you gradually get quieter. This will provide you with a nice, comforting and peaceful experience.

About Matt Giordano
Matt was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome at the age of 5 along with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). He began drum lessons at the age of 5 and discovered his symptoms disappear while drumming. Additionally, music has helped him overcome many challenges as a result of his diagnoses.
In 2003, Matt started Drum Echoes, Inc. to facilitate drum workshops with the purpose of providing people the benefits of drumming and music as it has helped him. He has worked with thousands of people all over the world seeing firsthand how music helps others. His desire to help others with music grew but he can only be at one place at a time. He realized how much better their lives could be if they could have a similar music experience with them all the time and anywhere. That's how he came up with the idea for Echo Life!
