You can get a premade one for about $360. You can buy a kit for slightly less... I can't vouch for playing it though... I just did research.

it's a midi controller.
the used technique is pretty old and is used since the 20's.
A really new instrument with amazing sound is this one:

New? Even the egyptians had drums back in the days. That looks just like a wok-pan with mic attached to it. There is some added drums too in that clip, right?

ye, the drums are added, besides that there is only a delay. The rest is completly authentical.
But the instrument itself is one of the mathematically most complex instruments ever created. It's a very special sound, unheard of before. It's made of a special metal alloy which also makes it pretty expensive: starting at 800€ I think. You can play a whole octave plus bassnote with it, which was impossible before the invention of the hang.
