Electrobones is the world’s first wooden sensor that uniquely combines a drum trigger with an acoustic instrument pickup. Made specifically for hand and finger drummers, it offers exceptional sensitivity to subtle touch and dynamics. Its natural wood construction not only provides warmth and resonance but also mounts easily on acoustic instruments, seamlessly integrating into any MIDI setup. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, Electrobones empowers musicians to blend organic feel with electronic versatility. Electrobones was created out of the need for a more refined, expressive alternative to conventional drum triggers. Most existing options feel artificial—made from synthetic materials that lack the sensitivity required for hand and finger drumming. Crafted from natural wood and inspired by traditional Japanese joinery techniques, Electrobones features a seamless, non-adhesive design that enhances both feel and resonance. More than just a drum trigger, it also functions as a high-quality acoustic pickup—perfect for any acoustic instrument—delivering warmth, versatility, and authentic sound in any setting. The foundation of Electrobones is deeply rooted in the founder’s lifelong journey as a hand/finger percussionist. Inspired especially by the rich rhythms of Indian tabla and the vibrant energy of Rajasthani khartal, the vision was to bring these traditional instruments into the modern world through electrification. This desire to blend ancient musical heritage with contemporary innovation led to the creation of Electrobones — an instrument designed to capture subtlety, warmth, and expressiveness, while opening new possibilities for artists across all styles.
