This expansion pack is a smart move if you're already committed to the Sensory Percussion system. The included pickups really do a great job of translating drum hits into expressive electronic sounds, especially on toms – you’ll get a more organic feel than many triggers offer. It's a good solution for drummers looking to expand their kit without replacing existing acoustic drums.
Pros
- Excellent pickup elements capture nuanced drum dynamics.
- Robust sensor cable minimizes signal interference and wear.
- Versatile mounting system adapts to various drum sizes and types.
Cons
- Requires the Sensory Percussion system, a significant additional investment.
- Limited to Sensory Percussion's sound engine; lacks universal trigger compatibility.

Pros
- Absorbs impact from edge to bell for clean tone
- Fine sensor technology ensures precise playing response
- Allows switching between many different cymbal sounds
Cons
- Requires separate Sensory Percussion Sound System to work
- No mounting hardware or cable included in the box

- Offers six distinct sound zones
- Adjusts tone from acoustic to electronic

- Sunhouse software unlocks creative possibilities beyond simple trigger sounds.
- The ADAT output provides expandability for complex routing setups.
Cons
- System requirements are fairly demanding; older computers may struggle.
