The Instruments

"Zen"

The Zendrum is a MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) triggering controller designed by drummers to allow musicians to express their creativity in rhythmic and intuitive ways. The Zendrum has 24 velocity sensitive pads which can trigger virtually any sound or MIDI instrument. The 24 pads are played with the fingers and hands of the performer.

"Ther"

The Theremin was one of the first synthesizers ever created. This remarkable instrument came from the mind of Russian inventor Leon Theremin in 1920. The Theremin is the only musical instrument in the world which is not touched by the performer.

"Stick"

The Chapman Stick is a unique electric stringed instrument invented and continually upgraded by Emmett Chapman. The Stick embodies a powerful new method of playing a stringed instrument, that of both hands approaching the fretboard from opposite sides with all 8 fingers perpendicular to the strings.
