What Artists are Saying
Bluecoats Drum & Bugle Corps
"Sensory Percussion allows capabilities that traditional drum pads simply can't do. I don’t think we could have accomplished a World Championship without it." - Matt Jordan
Glenn Kotche
"Perfection is an understatement. From the sound, to the feel, to the brand's aesthetic, to how they look, EVERYTHING about D'Addario is perfect to me."
Destin Johnson
“Usually, I'm using an e-drum pad to program samples. With Sensory Percussion, I feel less like a programmer and more like a drummer to make grooves how I see fit.”
