   Cough!!!   
      
   That aint drummin', it's a recording of drums.  I remember    
   seeing one fellow on TV that was able to slap a full jumpsuit like (I'm    
   an likely calling it the wrong name here.) a stomp performance, but was    
   able to be very expressive with quiet and less busy in passages. This fella    
   was highly entertaining and under total control of his  instrument(s)    
   which were just piezo-electic sensors plugged into a MIDI source.   
      
   As a side note, do you know why most popular music through time has    
   normalized itself to 4/4? Tap your fingers on a table for a hint.
