The EVANS Hybrid Sensory Percussion Sound System is a drumming system that uses sensors and software to track and interpret drummers’ movements hits and translate them into digital signals. The system uses small sensors that attach to the drums to capture the unique nuances of a drummer’s technique. Via the Sensory Percussion Portal, these sensors send signals to your computer, which uses machine learning algorithms to interpret the drummer's playing and map it to a range of different sounds within the Sensory Percussion software. Sensory Percussion allows drummers to create and control multiple sounds with each drum, producing complex, layered sounds in real-time. It’s a powerful tool for drummers looking to explore new sonic possibilities and push the boundaries of their instrument.Can I buy the pieces separately? We offer the complete sound system, additional drum sensors, pickup elements, and replacement TRS cable separately. The Sensory Percussion 2 software is not currently available to purchase separately.What other hardware do I need?You’ll need a computer, drum set and a pair of headphones or speakers to get started.
