The success story:

Evans Hybrid Sensory Percussion sound system

A few years ago, the New York technology company Sunhouse set out to initiate a paradigm shift in the music industry with the help of artificial intelligence. The two brothers and company founders Tlacael and Tenoch Esparza did pioneering work and presented sensory percussion. Behind this is a patented system for drummers that transforms an acoustic drum set into a powerful controllers for digital music making. Using customized drum sensors and AI-powered acoustic mapping, Sensory Percussion turns drums into an expressive tool for composition and performance. Sensory Percussion gives drummers the ability to control electronic sounds, samples, effects and MIDI with their drumsticks, opening up completely new possibilities for creativity and music production.

We have recently announced that Sunhouse has teamed up with drum head manufacturer Evans . With combined forces and combined know-how, they are now going one step further and taking hybrid drumming to a new level. They redesigned the powerful system from the ground up and made it even better!
