Adding electronic drums and drum machines can give a digital kick to your music track, but nothing can replace the old school skins. Now, crowdfunding Sensory Percussion offers the best of both worlds.

This new drum sensor aide app is a sensor that can translate the acoustic drum sounds to the electronic beat. This way, the user can map different parts of the drums and playing styles.

This will bring drum playing to a whole new level as it allows musicians to produce beats that haven't been heard on the radio or the concert yet.

It costs $595 to get one Sensory Percussion unit. If you plan to have the full drum kit, you need to spend $1,330. Shipment of the product will begin in January. With this new technology, drummers can use their skills to turn their music into something more electronic.

Sensory Percussion is created by programmer Tlacael Essparza, who is very passionate in laying the drums. Along with his brother, he also founded Sunhouse, which helped them develop the product.

He aims to bring back the intuitive physicality of making music. He achieved this by creating a technology that allows drummers to hit real drums while creating any electronic beat.

This is not the same technology as the standard drum triggers created by Ddrum and Roland. Sensory Percussion really combines hardware and software.

People can use this technology to simply play acoustic drums and make recording and editing easier. It also allows users to augment their drum sound much more efficiently while hitting real skins. This even allows the users to layer unique beats and hits to come up with a whole different music.   

This Kickstarter campaign by Sunhouse for their Sensory Percussion is good news for drummers who want to play digital hits on analog skins.
