Deaf musicians tend to favor acoustic instruments which produce a distinct physical feedback from vibration generated by the instrument.
Tapping to a Beat While Listening to Music May Not Be Related to Rhythm Memory
Rhythms may play a vital role in both speech and music where beat tapping and rhythm memory/sequencing form two separate clusters of rhythm skills.

A UK researcher hopes his research will give deaf people a greater opportunity to express themselves and help enable them to create new works for both deaf and normal audiences to enjoy.
Richard proposes the creation of a new musical interface that will combine haptic and visual forms of feedback to create a more inclusive experience for deaf people. Alongside vibrations, visual indictors will appear on a digital display that collectively form a 'sonic fingerprint' when an instrument is played, highlighting different components that make up the sound.
Burn noted that traditional waveform representations are unable to truly describe what music actually sounds like. There are much more subtle characteristics of sound that may be better represented visually, for example, by using simple shapes and symbols to describe harmonic content. He added that his proposed system will hopefully give deaf players of electronic instruments the same sort of experience as that enjoyed by deaf players of acoustic instruments.
