Margarita Benitez
Voxel Percussion was born out of Margarita's love for music, art and design with Markus' passion for drumming. Our first 3D print was created in The Studio at SIGGRAPH 1999 in Los Angeles. Since then we incorporated 3D printing into pur art + design studio, //benitez_vogl (established in 2000).
Markus Vogl
Markus having been a drummer for many years, brought forward the idea of developing drums and so our adventure began. We put over 2 years of research into this project and are very proud of what we have developed. We look forward to not only sharing our drums with you but connecting with each drummer that joins us on this adventure.
Nick Smith
We had experimented for a few years and in 2022, Nick joined our team as lead engineer. We dedicated our focus to the development of an innovative, unique, aesthetic, and sculptural digitally fabricated snare drums. In addition to the outside of the shell, we manipulate the interior as well to develop a completely unique snare drum. The digital fabrication of the drums include 3D printing, laser cutting, and custom post-processing which gives the drum a handmade, one-of-a-kind feel.
