This project is meant to allow individuals whom tap out drum patterns as a simple outlet of expression, or a more involved means of tapping one's foot, to bring musical life to a simple tick. Through use of a custom-built drum pad, using copper tape to make electrical contact, a 'MakeyMakey' Arduino board, and a max patch for sending Midi data to Ableton, the user can simply ground themselves via the attached lead, and tap out patterns on the easily navigable set of pads (including a kick drum and hi-hat pedal), and play the virtual drum set provided, in this case, by Ableton, or any other DAW.
The caveat of this lies in that the user must be connected to the ground lead at all times, and shoeless, to make use of the kick drum and hi-hat control pads. simple hardware workarounds for these issues are possible, if such a need is made clear.
