Crowdfunding: Sensory Percussion

This little piece of kit from Sunhouse is designed to capture the expressive nature of drumming rather than the traditional on/off electronic drum sound. The sensor clips onto acoustic drums and connects to software via an audio interface, allowing drummers to manipulate and rearrange sounds using their own kit. SP basically turns the electronic and acoustic into one instrument, tapping into the art of drumming.
“There’s a real genius to the physicality of playing real drums and the kinds of musical phrasing,” said Tlaceal Esparza, founder of Sunhouse. “And the ways in which you can think through rhythms is very unique and very powerful. The idea is to take that and make that work with digital sounds.”
So far the guys have raised over $49,000 of their $80,000 target, so they need a little push to bring it to completion. Rewards range from t-shirts and tote bags to launch party tickets and SP sensors.
