Two of Roland's strangests instruments, the V-Accordion and the HandSonic Hand Percussion Pad, are featured in this live performance video from Frankfurt Musikmesse 2009.
Ludovic Beier plays the "jazz organ" riffs on Roland FR-1b and FR-7b, with Tommy Snyder on HandSonic 10 Hand Percussion Pad.

Hmmm... You consider the Handsonic strange? It's a pretty straight forward controller. I have an HPD-15. I like the two ribbon controllers and the D-Beam, but its pretty mainstream compared to say a video harp or Buchla Thunder/Lightning, etc...

I'm with Marc. I have an HPD-10, and it's a GREAT instrument. It really aides both as a practice tool, and especially as a means of programming realistic drum and percussion parts.
