Such a wonderful review and the performance at the end of the video on this drum kit! 💥 Thank you so much for your efforts! You've earned my like and subscription! 👍 P.S. I don’t understand some of the comments where people criticize this model or say it’s better to invest right away in the Alesis Strata Prime (which costs 4 (!!!) times more). For me, both the sound and the price of this product are great!
So guessing, same as the Max, you can expand this kit? Are the cymbals same as the max? Can we expand this kit with cymbals from the max? Also, I want a cymbal only expansion kit, having to buy the tom along with the cymbal is kind off pointless. Can the extra tom input be used for a cymbal. My ideal set up would be this kit + 2 extra cymbals.
Alesis is making improvements, but... The sounds are terrible. The Alesis Strike Pro Se and the Alesis Strata Prime e-kits are the only kits Alesis has that are worth considering. Those two e-kits are the only ones Alesis has that are the most accustic, like. As a drummer, I am not a fan of what is considered a beginner e-kit or a lower-end e-kit to save money. You can only learn the basics on those. For studio work and hooked to a VST, the Nitro Pro or Nitro Max will work. The problem with these and lower tear e-kits is that if you take what you learned and try to play an accustic kit, you will find there is a relearning process to get used to how an accustic kit works, feels, and sounds. If you learn on a high-end e-kit, the transition to accustic is almost seamless. If you want to play guitar, do you first start with a plastic toy of a guitar? I prefer an e-kit company that focuses on making good higher-end e-kits that are very accustic like rather than a company that focuses on beginner lower-end e-kits and trying to improve those when I feel their efforts are better spent making high-end e-kits that could be used on stage and give ateal drumming experience. In the long run, a high-end e-kit will save you money because you will not need to make upgrades or buy a better kit down the road as you already have a better kit if you just buy a good high-end one. I am also not a fan of the "half" cymbals on lower-end e-kits. The cymbals should be 360° playable, like on higher-end e-kits. The lower-end e-kit cymbals just do not feel realistic to play as the cymbals on higher-end e-kits. I understand good high-end e-kits are expensive, but if you want to really learn drums and be good, and you want an e-kit, then only a higher-end e-kit is worth buying. I know lots of drummers buy and play Alesis lower-end e-kits to get them introduced to drumming and save money, but I feel if Alesis focuses on higher-end e-kits they will sell a lot of them and make up for not selling as many inferior lower-end e-kits. Years ago, I would have never considered an e-kit as they were nothing like an accustic kit. Now that technology has advanced and I live where I can not play my accustic, I love my high-end e-kit as it is 99.9% like playing my accustic kit.
Wrong! If you’re a beginner drummer and only can afford this. You should get it. The skills you learn with it and the free Drumeo lessons it comes with are transferable. Obviously if you move up to a better e Kit or get a acoustic kit there will an adjustment period. You don’t have to relearn anything.
To be fair for the price it’s not a bad kit ! If you’ve never played drums before or a little kid this would be an awesome kit. You gotta remember most ppl who don’t play drums or make music and are casual listeners don’t listen to music in the same way musicians do. They will think this sounds fine. Over time they will grow out of the kit and get bigger and better. The target audience isn’t for people looking for amazing samples. This is for kids and someone maybe wanting to try playing or just playing for fun at home.
The Alesis crimson is decent if you can find one. I would never pay thousands for their (anyone's) top tier eDrums. My Tama Starclassic was 4k just for the shells. All edrums are toys in comparison.
The drum dept is dead....someone fugkin do something about it!!!! Lee!?? Dude wtf. Someone call his ass out..why isnit every 6 months there one video about an alesis kit?....
Cos he only cares about him and his mates in the guitar video team, doesn't care about any other instrument and members of staff from the shop floor. I worked there for 6 months and the drum dept is such an afterthought
Thank you! You answered one question that I could not find anywhere. The diameter of the rack pipes.

I very much appreciate the presenter’s skill and I would encourage more content on this channel 😎
How about creating an updated version of Crimson Kit, too?
So guessing, same as the Max, you can expand this kit? Are the cymbals same as the max? Can we expand this kit with cymbals from the max? Also, I want a cymbal only expansion kit, having to buy the tom along with the cymbal is kind off pointless.
Can the extra tom input be used for a cymbal.
My ideal set up would be this kit + 2 extra cymbals.
can u buy the kick tower and use it on nitro max?
it would be a great upgrade for us who want to use dual bass pedals
You can use a double pedal on nitro kits if you adjust the beaters close together but I got two crimson kick towers so I can use my single pedals.
C'mon Alesis the Ride cymbal needs to have a Bell zone....
My crimson has a three zone ride cymbal but you have to really hammer the bell to get it to trigger.
@@kittywampusdrums4963 That's too bad. KAT has a nice ride cymbal May have to go with that.
So with the nitro max kit it does you just have to hit it at a certain intensity to get it to trigger
@@kateopoku8184 That is NOT what ALESIS says. It has edhe and curve but NOT Bell zones
Only here for my boi at 9:54 🙌🫡
MY MAN!x
Judging by these sounds, this is a 'EZ drummer trigger kit'😂
can anyone help? i can get the midi to work
i cant i mean lol
Toms could have been 10
Snare could've been 12
Crash and ride 12 or could've added a 2nd crash
Not for this price it wouldn't be. Companies can sell things at cost too, but they don't.

So what would be a good kit starting point worth while? How much you talking to spend?

The built in sounds don't matter all that much. Just use your laptop/computer and load custom sounds from like Ezdrummer or Superior Drummer.
Awful, awful tom sounds!!! Sorry, what kind of ears have these people developing these kits!?!?!
The snare sounds bloody awful : (
The drum dept is dead....someone fugkin do something about it!!!!
Lee!?? Dude wtf. Someone call his ass out..why isnit every 6 months there one video about an alesis kit?....
