Good morning, and sorry for my english am french, I'm about to buy my first electronic drum kit. I'm hesitating between 3 models : - Alesis Nitro pro - Roland TD-07DMK V-Drum Set - Millenium Millenium MPS-850 E-Drum Set. Can you advise me on one of the 3? knowing that the visual doesn't matter to me, I prefer the quality of the sound, the solidity, the touch etc... in short I want to play the drums not decorate my office XD Good evening
Hi and thanks for your comment. In terms of overall playability, value for money as well as build quality, I think the Nitro Pro is a top choice. But the Roland is also a fantastic kit. It might be worth going to a music store to try them out to feel the differences between them!
Alesis needs to stop trying to improve their lower-end e-kits. True, Nitro Pro nay be better than the Nitro Max, but it is still a lower-end e-kit. In my opinion, lower-end budget friendly e-kits are just toys of what a drum set should be. These days, e-kits are not like their ancestors. Good e-kits are 99%, just like playing an accustic drum set with the added benefit of having multiple style drum sets in one. I know that the lower-end e-kits apeal to people because they are more budget friendly. But in the long run, are they really budget friendly? You can learn the basics on a lower-end e-kit, but since they do not react, sound, or feel like an accustic drum set or a high-end e-kit to play, most drummers then want to upgrade their e-kit or buy a better one. This, in the long run, will cost you about the same or more than just buying a good high-end e-kit. The Alesis Strata Prime e-kit is the only offering from Alesis worth considering as it is very similar to an accustic drum set to play and will actually teach you proper drumming. If you normally play an accustic drum set but need something quiter to practice at home on, I feel only a higher-end e-kit is they way to go. This makes transitioning between your e-kit and your accustic drum set seamless. If you use a lower-end e-kit for practice, since it does not feel, perform, or sound like an accustic drum set or a high-end e-kit and then go play an accustic drum set there will be a relearning curve to get used to how a real accustic drum set feels, sounds, and plays. If you watch videos from professional drummers in their home practice space 99% of them use high-end e-kits, not because they can afford them or are spocered by them, it is because they are quiter than their accustic drum set and perform the same. Most Lower-end budget friendly e-kits do not have a hi-hat on a stand and at best the ride cymbal may be 2 zone with everything else being 1 zone. This means you have to make compromises with your playing. I think companies like Zildjian, DW, ATV, and Effnote did it right and only came out with kits geared for the serious drummer, and their e-kits can be used professionally on stage.
im too young to get a job and my parents arent financially well enough to help me with my hobbies. these type of kits are the only things i have access to.
One of the things I don't like about the Max is that most of the cymbals don't have enough decay , except one. Other than that I love it.
Hi man, can i get and extra crash on this kit? If i can then from where?
Yes you can! There's 2 free trigger inputs and you can check out the expansion pack here: drumhelper.com/recommends/nitro-max-expansion-pack/
Great video!! 🥁
Can BFD sounds be saved to the module, or is having a constant connection to your computer the only way to access them?
You'll need to keep it plugged in to run BFD player. Otherwise you just use whats already existing on the module
Wonderful stuff
Sounds like I need to get a pro!!

My Nitro Max sounds better than my Roland TD11KV. No comparison.
Sounds like @$$
