There is a documentary about conlanging (I believe available through Amazon Prime Video) that interviews a couple who made a hand-holding language for themselves. It’s unclear how extensive it is, but they use it to communicate covertly in situations where they don’t have the chance to duck away for a moment to confer.
The conlang toki pona has been converted into emojis, which is easy since it only has 122 words (or so).
“drumming/tapping, received by ears or touch” sounds a lot like morse code, though I presume you mean whole words rather than letter-by-letter (which, while fast, is still slower than spoken English).
I haven’t seen that documentary, but I’d guess it’s about the gripping language. (If not, then there are multiple such languages in the world, even better!)
