I found this super cool virtual piano software called Electric Piano. It’s FREE and allows you to play musical notes, chords and even drums using the computer keyboard utilizing the MIDI technology.

Electric Piano has the following feature:

• 128 Musical Instruments (General MIDI Standard)
• 47 Drums sounds
• Play 12 types of Chords by pressing a single key
• Chords can be played simulating the 6 strings of a Guitar
• Combine the sound of up to 7 different Musical Instruments
• Octave and Volume selection for the melody and chords

I was listening to a music when started to tap on my table with the music. So I thought I could look for a software where I could play drums using my keyboard. Now I found this cool software called WinPDrums created by Pyro. It’s a FREE drum simulator with 28 different sounds. It’s very small (about 968KB) and it doesn’t require any installation.
