This blog post is about Sensory Percussion version 1 and does not apply to the latest version 2 software included in the EVANS Hybrid Sensory Percussion bundle.
To call the Sensory Percussion sample library extensive would be an understatement. With over 400 kits made from over 30,000 samples, there's enough material to keep you busy for quite a while. But maybe you hear a sound in the real world that inspires you, and you want to put it on your drums. The process of recording and importing your own samples is relatively straight-forward, and this DIY approach will help you define your own unique sound. To show how it can be done without a professional studio or expensive microphones, we recorded some stuff we found around the Sunhouse office in New York (glass jars, squeaky doors, etc.). Then we gave a little peek into the process of turning dry, boring samples into interesting elements of a drum kit using effects and controllers within the Sensory Percussion software.
