When I got the HandSonic home and started playing around with it, before reading the manual of course, I was shocked as to how easy it was to use. Navigating through the many super high-quality sounds was a cinch. It was easy to make my own loops by just pressing some buttons until I saw the record light.
The HandSonic is sonically amazing! The wide range of sounds really blew me away. You’ve got everything from African percussion to the old 808 drum sounds. I could really see myself using this machine as a creativity starter, since the creative juices really started to flow once I began trying out all the sounds.
For the true percussionist the HandSonic is not a step down at all. I couldn’t believe how true this thing felt when playing the conga sounds. The pads are pressure sensitive, which made it capable of muting my attacks and stretching the tones sharp by pushing on the middle pad. It even emulates the sound if you hit on the rim of the instrument. This is a percussionist’s dream for getting all those sounds he’s been missing, and it’s that perfect addition to any drummer’s arsenal.
The HandSonic will truly improve your sound and your playing. Seeing that every sound in here is already tuned for maximum quality you can’t help but sound better which will in turn help you play better in the long run.
