The Journey

Step into the future of percussion with Electrobones, a project that began in 2015 with the goal of reimagining the traditional Khartal, a compact Indian percussion instrument. What started as a quest to electrify this classic instrument has evolved into Electrobones—a cutting-edge hybrid that combines natural hardwood craftsmanship with advanced sensor technology.

In 2018, Sid introduced the first prototype, blending wired and wireless capabilities that opened up new performance possibilities. Now, in 2024, Electrobones has been completely redesigned for seamless integration into both studio environments and live setups. This new iteration expands creative potential, allowing users to explore organic drumming in innovative ways.

Electrobones functions as a versatile sensor, acoustic instrument pickup, and MIDI trigger. With the addition of UHF wireless transmission, musicians can now wirelessly connect to samplers and trigger any MIDI device with precision and flexibility. This evolution merges tradition with technology, offering new tools for creative exploration in modern music.
