Evans Hybrid Sensory Percussion Starter Pack Overview

The Evans Hybrid Sensory Percussion Starter Pack is a streamlined electronic solution for hybrid drummers, producers, and live performers. Designed around a single-drum setup, it lets you turn any drum fitted with an acoustic or mesh head into a studio-grade electronic instrument. And importantly, you don't lose the natural feel of your kit. Using the included Sunhouse Sensory Percussion 2 software, you can access hundreds of drum sounds, melodic samples, live effects, and sequencing tools.

Dynamic velocity control means your playing translates accurately, whether you're triggering subtle textures or bold layered sounds. The Portal Audio Interface connects everything together, offering seven Sensor inputs and professional I/O for recording or live sound. You can even expand the system with up to six additional Sensors, making it easy to build a setup that grows with your ideas.

Please Note: Laptop and drum not included.

Turn one drum into a complete electronic instrument

This starter pack focuses on a single drum, but the creative scope is wide. By attaching the included Sensor and pickup elements to your chosen snare, tom, or bass drum, you can transform it into a responsive electronic instrument. It works with common hoop types and supports both acoustic and mesh heads, so you can integrate it into your existing kit without compromise. The result is a setup that feels familiar under the sticks, while giving you access to detailed digital control. If you want hybrid capability without rebuilding your whole kit, this approach keeps things simple and practical.

Deep sound library with expressive control

With Sensory Percussion 2 software, you’re not limited to standard trigger sounds. You can explore a growing library of drum tones, melodic samples, effects modules, and sequencing tools tailored to modern performance and production. Velocity sensitivity is highly detailed, allowing different sounds or effects to respond to how and where you strike the drum. That means rimshots, centre hits, and ghost notes can all trigger unique results. Whether you’re layering textures in the studio or shaping transitions on stage, the software gives you precise control over every dynamic nuance.

Portal interface for flexible connectivity

At the centre of the system is the Portal Audio Interface. It features seven dedicated Sensor inputs, making it easy to expand beyond the included drum Sensor when you’re ready. In addition, it provides professional-grade audio connections, so it can double as a high-quality interface for recording sessions or live sound setups. This flexibility keeps your rig efficient; one device handles Sensor data and audio duties — reducing extra hardware and streamlining your workflow. If you’re building a hybrid kit for performance or production, that practicality really matters.

Built to grow with your setup

The pack includes everything you need to get started: software, one drum Sensor, specialised TRS cabling, USB-C connection, pickup elements, an EMAD bass drum adapter, multi-country power adapter, and a limited edition set of ProMark Sensory Percussion drumsticks. Once you’re comfortable, you can add up to six more Sensors (sold separately) to expand across your kit. System requirements cover macOS 11 or higher, and Windows 10 or 11 (22H2 or later), with at least an Intel Core i5 5th generation, Apple Silicon, or AMD Ryzen processor, 8 GB RAM, and around 1 GB of storage for installation. For more demanding sessions, higher specifications may be beneficial.
