    Serious drum sound.
    DM5 is a classic Alesis drum-sound module for drummers, programmers, producers, and anyone else who needs great-sounding drums and percussion. DM5 contains 540 stereo, 18-bit drum sounds that can be assigned to any of the 21 programmable drumsets. 12 trigger inputs enable DM5 to be used with all Alesis drum and cymbal pads, SURGE Cymbals, and the triggering devices from most other major manufacturers.
    DM5 also has full MIDI I/O so it can be used as a sound source for composing, programming, and sequencing with a wide variety of controllers including keyboards, pad triggers, MPCs, and more.
    Alesis' exclusive Dynamic Articulation™ technology modifies sample sounds so they change as you play them. This results in sounds that respond accurately not only to dynamic changes, but also with the appropriate timbral and color changes you'd expect from their acoustic counterparts. Our Random Sample feature also ensures you don't get the same sound twice for further creative realism.
    Built-in Alesis studio effects including reverb and ambiance ensure that you can send a complete, finished sound to the PA, recording system, and your headphones with no additional processing.

      Hello! I can't help you actually, it really depends on your tastes. But ... if I were you I would invest on the lastest version of this module labeled the SampleRack (w/ SD card to load your fav 80's drum sounds or your own samples) ;)

    this could be a simple question...but how do I make just the high hat louder.?..I can easily hear the drumstick hitting the plastic head a lot louder than I can hear the closed high hat...and I still can't figure out how to make it better. Anyone figure this out?

    I recently bought an Alesis SR-16 and most of these sounds are either the
    same if not similar. I prefer the SR-16 because it's much smaller and easier
    to store plus they are very cheap.

    • @earlclark5830

      I could never defeat the reverb on the sr16 and therefore the drums got washed out in all my mixdowns...

    Can you create drum loops to jam with? Or is this just used as triggering? I know there are presets but not enough.

    • @jahizp
      @jahizp  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is just a drum module, drum samples are triggerred by pads or MIDI input. It is not a drum machine with build-in drum loop.

    • @kennylee5621

      You would have to program the loop in an external sequencer via MIDI.

    Wish my DM5's value knob worked properly. Jumps all over the place while turning and sometimes spontaneously. Cleaning didn't help.
    At least I can have some control using a MIDI controller. I set a bank of pads on the Akai MPK61 to send a Program Change to select DM5 presets.

      You can find good sounds if you mix and match from the different options, the presets are usually pretty bad even on the most high end Roland modules, but the best use of this and most other modules is to trigger vsts.

      @@gravano2 yes you can but you can also choose what velocity curve to use which helps with dynamics ( soft vs hard hits). But, you can get a newer module that offers tons more options and even usb connections that you can use to trigger software such as EZdrummer which will sound way better than any current module today. You can do that with the DM5 but you need to have a sound card that has midi input.

    Everything sounds overly processed. No air around the drums for a natural sound. Fine for electronic and dance, but not jazz, folk or acoustic guitar tracks.

    • @jahizp
      @jahizp  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, this unit has aged badly ... I know some metal drummers who still use it, only for kick drum trigger monitoring and PA.

    • @demofactory
      @demofactory 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I was in a country band for a while, where the drummer tried to use a DM5. He didn't last very long with us. His next stop was a reggae band(a much better fit for his sound and style). Thanks for sharing with us. Take care friend!!

    • @PilferMusic
      @PilferMusic 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      disagree... while they are extreemly processed sounds - they can sound great in a track.

    • @demofactory
      @demofactory 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If the sounds are used in dense tracking situations, the nuances don't stand out out as much. I do agree the DM5 is usable there. but say a small ensemble of guitar bass and drums... Do you think the processed sounds will be as good against acoustic guitar and upright bass? Of coarse not. I was in a country band, where the drummer triggered a DM5. It sounded like he was playing Nintendo. We had to tell him either lose the module, or lose the job. He switched to triggering a Roland
      V-Drums module, and everything was great from then on. If we had been a dance, or top 40 band, the DM5 might have fit in better, but for us it didn't sound good.
