The Percussion category here includes all of the electronic instruments and modules designed to create rhythmic and percussive drum beats & sounds rather than melodic or harmonic tones. This includes drum machines, percussion synth voices, sample-based units, trigger pads, and modular percussion modules used to build beats, grooves, and rhythmic textures.
Percussion gear is central to electronic and modern music production, providing everything from classic drum sounds to experimental rhythms and textures. These instruments are commonly used in studio and live setups alongside synths, samplers, and sequencers, forming the rhythmic backbone of electronic, techno, hip-hop, ambient, and experimental music.

A controller is a device designed to control electronic instruments, software, and hardware without generating sound on its own. It sends performance and control data, allowing parameters such as notes, velocity, modulation, and automation to be played or adjusted in real time. Controllers are central to hands-on workflow, enabling expressive control in both studio production and live performance.
MIDI is a digital control standard used to transmit performance and control data between electronic instruments, computers, and hardware devices. It carries information such as note data, velocity, timing, and parameter changes rather than audio, allowing instruments and software to communicate, stay in sync, and control each other. MIDI is fundamental to modern music production, sequencing, and live performance setups.
New Gear is unused and in original condition, supplied as it leaves the manufacturer. It is chosen for guaranteed reliability, full functionality, and the assurance of manufacturer support.
