Week
1: Observation and interviews
After a lengthy discussion, we decided to think about the act of
tapping. We started talking to drummers to see if they had a
tendency to tap out their rhythms even when they are not drumming.
It turns out that they do, and with remarkable similarity. There
are even hand exercises that drummers do to practice their
rhythms.

Week 2: Paper Prototype
We've decided on a "pocket drummer" hand device that could be used
by drummers for practice and as a "sketch pad" for trying out drum
beats.

Week3: Initial Prototype:
We did beta testing with Alex. Overall, feedback was good, but he
wanted to place sensors on both hands. We probably need to allow
for that modularity.
