EVANSHybrid Sensory Percussion Hi-Hat Sensor

Capture the nuance and control of a real hi-hat in your electronic setup with the EVANS Hybrid Sensory Percussion Hi-Hat Sensor, a responsive trigger system designed to translate every detail of your playing into the digital domain. Built for use with the company’s Sensory Percussion system, this sensor delivers accurate open-to-closed tracking, foot articulation and multi-zone response, allowing your technique to carry over naturally into a wide-ranging virtual hi-hat sound library. From tight chick sounds to loose, sizzle-rich textures, it reflects the subtle dynamics drummers rely on while opening access to both classic and unconventional hi-hat voices. With seamless integration into EVANS Hybrid and dB One setups and compatibility with standard hi-hat stands, it transforms a familiar acoustic component into a versatile electronic instrument for practice, performance and production. Accurate Open and Closed Tracking With Natural Hi-Hat Response Designed to replicate the feel and behavior of an acoustic hi-hat, this sensor tracks continuous movement from fully closed to fully open positions with precision. Foot splashes, chick articulations and transitional textures are captured faithfully, while multi-zone sensing allows for edge, bow and bell response across the cymbal surface. The result is a hi-hat experience that maintains the physical feedback drummers expect while translating those movements into detailed electronic performance data. Expansive Sound Library and Creative Mapping Control Within the Sensory Percussion 2 environment, the Hi-Hat Sensor unlocks a diverse library of sounds ranging from traditional acoustic hi-hats to unique voices from independent cymbal makers. These sounds can be mapped directly to your playing, transforming a single hi-hat into anything from a vintage 1940s hi-hat to a drum machine-style voice or even a melodic synth texture. Real-time control over presets, articulation and response allows you to shape your sound intuitively while adapting to different musical settings. Responsive Electronic Hi-Hat Control for Modern Drummers Whether you're practicing quietly, performing in a hybrid rig or building tracks in a production environment, this sensor expands the role of the hi-hat without altering how it feels underfoot. With detailed tracking, multi-zone articulation and flexible sound control, the EVANS Hybrid Sensory Percussion Hi-Hat Sensor provides a natural and adaptable solution for drummers working across acoustic and electronic workflows.
