Im trying to build this lighting rig, so that every time I hit the bass drum of my drum set, the rig can light up. So I need a way to sense if I hit the drum, and then send an electrical signal to a microcontroller so the lights can light up (I don't need help with the lights, just the sensor). I asked my physics teacher and he said use a pressure sensor. He kind of suggested this on the fly, and now its Christmas break and I can't talk to him about it. So if you can elaborate on how to use a pressure sensor to sense if I hit the drum or suggest a different way to sense the drum hit, I'd greatly appreciate it! Also please give as detailed as explanations as you can! Thanks!**
