EVANS
Description

Your drum already has a unique voice—this system expands its vocabulary. The Evans Hybrid Sensory Percussion Starter Pack is designed for drummers who want to explore electronic sound without sacrificing the feel, response and personality of their acoustic setup. This compact, studio-grade system transforms a single acoustic or mesh drum into an expressive electronic instrument while preserving the articulation, rebound and nuance you’ve spent years developing. Built around a Sensory Percussion drum sensor, Portal Audio Interface and Sunhouse Sensory Percussion 2 software, the starter pack responds directly to how you play, not just where you strike, translating technique into sound in a way that feels natural and connected.

Turn Any Drum Into an Expressive Electronic Instrument

The Evans Hybrid Sensory Percussion Starter Pack installs quickly on most standard drum hoops, instantly converting that drum into a multi-zone electronic performance surface. Each sensor captures up to 10 dynamic zones, allowing different playing areas and techniques to trigger distinct sounds, samples or effects. Unlike traditional rubber pads, the system preserves the authentic feel of your drum, making it well suited for drummers who want electronic flexibility without losing touch or musical response.

Sensory Percussion 2 Software With Deep Sound and Control

Sunhouse Sensory Percussion 2 software provides access to hundreds of drum sounds, melodic samples and live effects. Players can load their own samples, shape sounds in real time and tailor responses to match individual playing styles. Whether practicing quietly, performing live or producing in the studio, the software adapts easily to different workflows while maintaining low latency and consistent responsiveness.

Expandable Portal Interface for Growing Setups

The included Portal Audio Interface supports up to seven total sensors, making it easy to expand from a single drum into a larger hybrid setup. With straightforward connectivity and reliable performance, the system integrates smoothly into live rigs, studio environments and educational or marching applications. Designed as a scalable foundation, the Evans Hybrid Sensory Percussion Starter Pack allows electronic expression to grow naturally alongside your setup.
