My first pursuit into producing using Sensory Percussion resulted in a couple of tracks which ended up on my latest EP - “Kev’s Dead” (out now on Detroit Underground). "My use of Sensory Percussion has naturally been very experimental, seeing how far I can push the technology whilst still making music in a way that feels natural and intuitive. His latest EP, 'Kev's Dead', is out now via Detroit Underground. Rian is a London-based drummer/producer/sound designer.


Also, the endless possibilities push my creativity to another level, previously unknown to me. So, SP definitely is an inspiring tool to compose with. It’s amazing to play a world of different sounds and instruments at my finger/drumstick tips and not have to worry about taking up precious studio space!įor my “One Minuture“ series I use SP to record the drums first later I add the rest on the basis of the drums/sounds.

All of that processing then happens in Ableton Live. Since I use SP in so many bands nowadays I also add a Roland SPD SX for one shot samples/loops and lately I explored the capabilities of using SP as a midi controller for vocal chops as well as various software analog synthesizers within my solo show. "Along with Sensory Percussion I either use a set up with mesh heads or acoustic drums depending on the project/band.
