[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004] In a fast explosive society of information, human life has become tight and tense due to the frequent business activity, therefore there is increasingly needed on leisure activity as well as the diversity of leisure activity. People spend times in many activities to ease the pressure and adjust themselves, some people work out in the gym, some people practice aerobic exercise or boxing, some people sing with the karaoke, and some people play video game.

[0005] This is especially good for preventing young generation from being misguided. However, prevalent TV game dancing pad is a game play interactively with a TV screen that user can only passively follow the instruction to react with lack of independence and can hardly satisfy teenager for a very short period of time. Accordingly, the inventor considers to combine music with changeable sound-light effect into sports such as aerobic exercise, dancing or boxing to achieve the invention that can not only consume lots of energy but also easily cope with the eager of performing.

[0006] In the official gazette of ROC utility model patent No.190933, it disclosed an improved drum structure with light controlled effect comprising: a microphone and a signal comparator provided inside a drum; a plurality of light emitting diodes and corresponding drivers provided at the center of diaphragm inside the drum and connected to each other; in which the sound pressure generated by striking the diaphragm can be amplified through the microphone, and the signal comparator can produce a control signal when an acoustic-pressure exceeds a prescribed level so as to trigger the LED driver, which then drives the plurality of light emitting diodes to twinkle, while the louder the sound generated the longer the LED may twinkle and increase the sound-light effect during the performance.
