EVANS Hybrid Cymbal & Hi-Hat Sensors
Real cymbals with unreal control.
Real Cymbal Sound and Feel.
The new standard in electronic cymbals, with unprecedented realism, dynamics, and expressive possibilities. Finally cymbals that look, feel, and sound natural. Authentic rebound, nuance, sensitivity, and endless creative potential in a complete electronic drum kit, making it the best choice for quiet practice, hybrid performance and cutting-edge sound design.
- Real feel:the rebound, dynamics and authentic sounds you'd expect from acoustic cymbals and hats. Sensory Percussion's unique timbre detection makes the virtual-acoustic cymbal mappings play like the real thing.
- Nuanced sensing:trustworthy tracking across 5+ zones. Hi-hat sizzles, foot splashes, cymbal chokes, even extended techniques like pings on the side of the cymbal all translate to nuanced sonic control.
- Creative control:sweep a filter as you move from bell-shoulder to bell-tip, trigger a delay when you splash the hi-hat, add chords to your crashes - or start from the built-in presets and adapt them to your playing style.
