[LAU] Real-time percussion modelling 'demo'

A few times in the past, and even recently, there were some comments
regarding the lack of a technology that could translate relatively well
the percussion gestures done by hands.

That technology exists and is quite affordable.  It comes from
Standford University and was licensed by Yamaha.  The Korg used it to
make the Wavedrum.

Since I connected mine today I thought of doing a quick 'demo', just 1
minute in which:

 - fingers are brushed
 - nails are brushed
 - fingers are tapping
 - nails are tapping
 - pressure is applied

and variations thereof.

The Wavedrum is connected to the usual stereo tube preamp and
compressor used for acoustic guitar, but with different settings, and
then a bit of reverb was added.  The Wavedrum currently has a Remo drum
skin.

Sound On Sound calls it 'true physical modelling'.
