Product Information

Now, Alesis drummers can take advantage of this great platform with a code that provides you with 60 BONUS LESSONS! I did some playing along with external music, the built-in demo jam songs, I created some custom kits, once you read the manual everything is easy to find and the buttons on the interface feel surprisingly good. I'm very satisfied with the features, external input works great. The headphone amp could use a little more juice, so I'm using a separate amp for the headphones. The sound of the kit is nice, not too artificial and you can customize all the sounds pretty well.

This venue is actually two in one: the Live and the Lounge areas. With its own in-house sound and lighting system, the Mercury has built a superb reputation and a loyal clientele during its 10-year existence.

Alternatives to the Alesis Nitro MAX This new solo project is all about story-telling in the style of old-school singer-songwriters and bluesmen. It’s raw, personal and real. In his music, you will find a hint of Michael Buble meets Maroon5, but the sound is still unmistakably Jesse Jordan. Faith Endorsement

The ride cymbal is a single-zoned pad that allows for two distinct sounds depending on how hard you hit the cymbal. You’ll get the typical ride bow sound and a ride bell sound on some presets, whereas on others, you’ll hear a ride crash sound on harder hits. I found myself really having to lay into the cymbal to get the ride bell sound to trigger—I may have to do some sensitivity adjustments within the drum module. First, despite what I said earlier about electronic drum kits being quiet, they may still be loud. E drums may be significantly quieter than real drums, but they can still pose a problem. Drum throne was too short for me(can reach mostly 90 degrees with muy legs), and after a while started to wobble badly( plastic inside the frame broke), so stopped using it. The toms on the Nitro MAX are 8″ single-zone pads. They feature a slimmer design with a rim flush to the drum head—ideal since there isn’t much of a point to having a traditional raised rim, being they are single-zone pads. Also, because it is equipped with MIDI in and out ports you can connect it directly to other stand-alone MIDI gear for a wide range of options and performance.One of the standout features of the Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit is its mesh drum heads. These heads offer a realistic feel and near-silent response, making them perfect for practice sessions. Rubber pads are going to be much louder than mesh pads. That doesn’t mean that mesh heads will be the winner of the quietest playing surface. Yamaha makes an electronic drumkit with Textured Cellular Silicone that is far quieter than mesh drum heads.
