Human Drum Teachers Are Like So 1973

Move over, Dom Famularo. There’s a new robotic wrist-turning thingy in town.

HAGUS (an altogether unfortunate acronym, reminiscent of Scotland’s traditional heart, liver, and lung repast) is a machine designed to quickly and efficiently teach rhythm. Grab hold of the stick that is attached to the contraption, and your hand is guided by the motor’s motion into playing a perfect beat. Soulless timekeeping will be yours faster than you can say “Marco Minnemann.”
