This research aims to develop functional apparel specifically for drummers to enhance performance and comfort during play.
Used a three-stage design virtual product development process to create 3D virtual prototypes of drumming tops.
Conducted user research with 10 professional male drummers to identify specific user needs.
Evaluated the proposed designs for fit, pressure, and tension using 3D software.
Prototypes showed improved mobility, thermal balance, and moisture management for drummers.
Evaluation indicated enhanced comfort and functionality compared to standard apparel options.
Findings support the effectiveness of 3D virtual prototyping in developing specialized performance wear.
