No matter how many kick pedals or cymbals you might use, at the end of the day, a drum set can only make so many sounds. That's where "sensory percussion" comes in—a high-tech system of placing programmable, hyper-responsive sensors on a kit to trigger new sounds, making one drummer and his setup sound like a full-fledged concert.On this episode of Daily VICE, VICE met up with Greg Fox, who revolutionized his drumming with this technique—applying the technology to a single snare before outfitting his whole kit. Now that he's mastered the technique, he's dropping a solo album to show off how it can make one drummer sound like a full band.
