Can this pickup detect guitar drumming ( hitting the guitar body to make it sound like a drum ) ?

Yes, it can detect the tapping sound. But the tapping sound from Amumu NEO-SP30/31 is not as big as the sound from Amumu SBT-10 because SBT-10 is a vibration transducing pickup which transduces all the signal from the soundboard and the body. We suggest you try Amumu SBT-10

Do I need to loosen the strings to insert it?

Usually, there is no need to loosen the strings for installation. But if your guitar soundhole diameter is as close to the minimum size that we described (3.82” to 4.33”) or your string is too tight to get through, and it’s not so easy to install the pickup on your guitar, we recommend to loosen the strings for easier installation.

What is the frequency response of this unit?

I think the SP-30 and SP-31 are the same pickups but for the cord. The Amumu website, amumu.rocks, doesn't seem to offer any such specs. It's a great pickup but I recommend an equalizer for better tonal balance.
