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:

pretty neat. wish there was a USB version of this that you could record with.
Wish Mr. Farmer's tan had a shirt on.
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?
too much latency to ever sound good. try reason, it has very little latency
Someone doesn't understand what latency is… Lol
Stop trolling n read a god damned book…
Probably soung great in the hands of a real drummer…
Bass drum on the right hand and snare on the left hand.. If its not set up right good luck makin it sound good.
That guy needs to get a bit more sun, don't you think?
They're not velocity sensitive either.
great idea, this is called innovation 😉 and the idea was not drummin naked, but the gloves 😉
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?
Can you buy these
