Sensory Percussion In-depth Review

Подробнее о видео

Sensory Percussion is the most unique drum trigger systems I've ever tested on the channel. It's it can literally do anything you can imagine when it comes to triggering a drum. But that doesn't mean Sensory Percussion is for everyone. Today I'm breaking down the good, the bad, and who this might be for.

Features:
10 Zones on Snare/Toms (kick has a few less.. Because it’s a kick)
Assign Or Layer as many sounds as you want on each zone
You can decide which layer is played with ALL the modes they give you like cycle, random, stack, and more
Speed controllers, you can make the sound change depending on how fast you play. For example the fast you play the higher the pitch of the sound, or the faster you play the more distortion you hear.
LFO controls
You can adjust the trigger curve for each one of the zones on the drum, not just the whole thing. You can also make it so that sounds don't activate until you hit them a certain amount of force
You can tune the sounds to different octaves
You can reverse the sounds
Blending Between zones is really fun, and makes playing this more immersive. Especially with electronic sounds. Or you can choke the previous sound when you hit a new zone, it’s up to you.
There’s a bunch of effects you can drag onto each zone to mold the sound
You can do things like pitch the sound up and down by how hard you play
You can change kits by hitting a certain zone, you don’t even have to touch the computer or hit a foot switch
Lots of built in sounds, plus more you can download for free, and you can import your own
MIDI In and Out
Stand-alone, or plug-in mode stand-alone program stand alone or plug-in mode

Whats it like to use?
Set up is longer than most trigger systems it takes time to learn how to use this thing.
At first you'll sound like a crazy person hitting a keyboard with drumsticks. The people that can create entire songs with this system are very good at what they do and they make it look easy. But there's a lot of work involved. I'm continually impressed at how powerful the system is, just when you think you got it figured out it turns out there is another rabbit hole that you can go down and a whole new set of features.

Pros:
10 Zones Per Drums
Software Has Many Sounds And Effects
Sound Layering
Sound Blending
Trigger Is One Design That Fits On Kick/Snare/Toms
Works On Mylar Or Mesh
Works On Mac And PC
No Proprietary Drum Module, Works With Any Audio Interface
Midi In and Out

Cons:
Expensive: $450/$779-$1000/$1600. This hurts especially because this is just an add-on device.
You Need A Computer
You Have To Train Each Trigger
Complex (time investment is needed to get the most out of this system)
If The Drum head Goes Out Of Tune The Zones Are Messed Up
The Metal Dot Didn’t Stick Well To Drumtec Real Feel Mesh (although it worked fine on everything else)
it could be overpowered for what you actually need
More Traditional Trigger/Module Systems Are better for Very Fast Soft Playing

Bottom line:
For some drummers, this system will be overkill. If all you need is a sound or two per drum, there are similar and cheaper ways to do it. BUT if you love to explore new and unique sounds, and love experimentation, there is literally no other system like this. Sensory Percussion only gets more interesting the longer you try it.
