I've had a quick glance at the website and there is a lot of potential for this
drum thing, but if you want to make some of the improvements you mention
on the page first then it could be a more awesome demo. It also means that
we should hopefully have more room later.

I like the idea of going into the protocols but if I may suggest that this were to
happen later on in the year or as short demos in each meeting to break the
main 'feature' demo up a bit.
