Drum SensorsThe EVANS Hybrid Sensory Percussion Sensor transforms any acoustic drum into a highly expressive electronic controller. Play heads, rims, and shells - the sensor tracks where and how you hit, and the software turns it into sound. You bring your drums; everything else is included.

The SensorThe redesigned Sensor uses contactless sensing technology to track your playing with maximal responsiveness. It uses a 3.5 mm TRS cable to connect to the EVANS Sensory Percussion Portal. The Sensor is designed to fit most standard snares and toms with metal or wood hoops and kick drums with wood hoops.

Hoops

Start with drums. Expand from there.

Every setup starts with the Portal and at least one sensor. Add drum, cymbal, and hi-hat sensors as your kit grows.
