Beat on the Block is a set of set of drum gloves that are designed to let you drum on anything.
The system is made up of a gloves paired with a backpack speaker system with a built-in looping system. The move below captures the prototype for the drum gloves in action:

We do get to see that being a drummer is harder than almost anyone thinks.

Sounds like they're not velocity sensitive.
And if the guy's not going to wear a shirt, he should at least play on his nipples.

The concept is awesome. Probably a lot better then using a keyboard plus the picture makes it look soooo cyberpunk! Was it off beat because it doesn't work right yet, or because all those guys are just bad at drumming?

Im so pissed! I had a flash of inspiration today and thought of the same idea! I checked the internet when I got home to see if it had already been done and you guys beat me to it by only months!!! Well good luck on it! Are you selling it to any big companies?
