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.
