Bro that edit of you flipping the drums around with the switch to the real snare around 2 minutes was so clean.
That's what I was about to say.. Seamless!
And the same with the cymbals!!
just noticed that LMAO
Ayoooo wtffff 🤯🔥
Yo Brandon! I use to be a regular at your guitar center, you were the one who taught me how to play doubles on my kick. So awesome to see your growth. That guitar center is still my go to music store. Thanks for all your vids, you’ve truly been an inspiration in my music endeavors and since than I’ve gone to experience many awesome opportunities playing drums.
8:00 Super clean Physical Education going on here. Great video as always!
You caught it. ;)
@@BrandonScottDrums we all caught it 😂
Ran to the comments as soon as I heard it. Clean as heck.
It was tight as hell
I subscribed because your editing / video production is top notch! I got a lot to learn off of you🙏🏼🖤
Is this sponsored? It is not clearly disclosed, but the video feels like talking points that you got from Alesis. In future videos please disclose at the beginning of the video if it is sponsored or if they sent you the kit for free. It makes the review appear disingenuous. Otherwise great video!
He did not get paid to say I wanna hit you so bad 😅
Alesis had been stepping up on their game lately! Might be my next electric drums!
The production of this video is INSANE!!!!! Great video as always!!!
with the launching of Zildjian ALCHEM-E i can forgive alesis for the pricing xD
The strata prime would be very useful as a recording/rehearsal kit. But the limited output routing options are a deal breaker (for me) in regards to live use.
Oh bluetooth audio support has been added now? - nice!
Just found this out yesterday!
Source please
This kit is definitely the best bang for your buck with REAL drum sounds
Yooo that matt garstka groove!
Damn, who did make those ads? If I was in charge of a very large marketing firm of some type I would seriously look into this. *cough* Anyways, very stoked to see a new upload from you! Always magical lol
Brandon, will you make the rest of your drum videos using this set instead of your acoustic kit???
the multi-velocity samples is where Alesis shines, Roland really needs to step up their game in samples, for they use volume over multi hit samples, that and larger full color with touch screens...
Very nice 👍
There are some wicked high pitch frequencies in your desktop mic.
Noted! It’s a lav mic. I thought I noticed it during the edit but I’ll keep that in mind for future vids. 🙏🏼
We've missed you! As usual great vid and great review 🏆🔥
Your drumming is good, but the way you make your Videos is outstanding, i mean .... superb. What a production, brilliant 🫡
Well, I owned a Alesis Kit like 3 or 4 years ago. It was their high end top of the line product at the time. I owned it for about 3 to 4 Months and than returned it to the seller. In those few months the ride cymbal trigger broke at least 3 times and the kick drum mesh ripped 2 times. I than bought a Roland set and it holds up with my playstyle since than. It just now starts to show some signs of use, but i think that is perfectly okay, because I play it almost daily.
What I think is funny tho, that their marketing claims never changed and they still proclaim that roland kits are too expensiv and overpriced...
Bro!! That ending 😂😂😂😂🔥🔥
OMG dude!!!! You nailed the whole marrying a drummer than wanting expensive Bose headphones for noise cancelling and then didn’t use them…then we had kids and they heard the drums in Utero so they don’t care anymore I can just put Disney+ on for a little bit and now mommy has to go outside lol😅
I’ve spoken to some people about getting this kit and they keep telling me not to due to alesis kits breaking so often. Is this kit the same or have they improved on it
Love the little transitions!!
Can you add a click when you’re playing your songs from the phone?
8:00 animals as leaders cover coming soon??? jajajajajaj
You are running behind Brandon, Zildjian Alchem-e is now the new hype 😄
lol for double the price of the Strata.
EF NOTE is the go to brand for electric drums.
Can we take a minute and speak about the 8 inch BSD Custom Snare drum ?????????? Bro it sounds sick
Your Thumbnail and Effects are next level👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥💯💯✅✅
The Strata Prime e-kit has some great features. The problem is that the kit does have some flaws and issues that many reviewers have pointed out. For the price it is a little expensive. If they fix all the known issues, the kit would be worth the price. Alesis definitely is stepping up their game and coming out with more professional e-kits, but as of now, I can not recommend Alesis until they come out with a high-end e-kit that works as it should without any issues. You do mention that this is not a beginner e-kit, and the Drumeo version would be better for beginners. I disagree. In my opinion, if you want to learn to play a drum set and an e-kit is the way to go, you need one that performs like an accustic kit. The budget friendly "beginner" e-kits do not have the sensitivity, playability, sound, or functionality of an accustic kit or a high-end e-kit. This means if you learn on a lower-end budget friendly e-kit and then go to play an accustic kit or a high-end e-kit, you will find it hard as there is a relearning curve to get used to a propper drum kit. If you want to learn guitar, do you first start with a toy guitar?
Good points made but I disagree with some things you mentioned. In my experience teaching young students, a beginner is not focused on “sensitivity, sound, or stick control” they are more focused on coordination and hitting the drum at the right time and right spot. I agree things don’t exactly translate when moving to an acoustic kit, but not everyone has the luxury of playing an acoustic kit or forking out $3500 to find out if they enjoy playing the drums. I think that makes a cheaper e-kit a good option for someone wanting to get their toes wet.
@@BrandonScottDrumsagreed. Beginner students can’t wrap their mind around sensitivity there are higher priority things to them like looking flashy or playing cool beats. Later they’ll care about dynamics and that’s ok
Where have you been?
Just I gone a say way in this seven month Brandon didn’t make Drumeo vlog ?
Having trouble setting up high hat with this in ezdrummer 3. Any thoughts/suggestions anyone?
I love the fact that we all can recognize the intro fill of that AAL song 👀
He’s back!
So, do you actually play that guitar in the background?
the transitions were peak dawg.
Yo this is the detail in review i was waiting for....you are next to none!
I did a review of this kit on my channel. I talked about some issues I’ve had with mine in my video. One of those being missed hits occasionally with the kick drum. Have you had this issue at all? Great review, just subbed 👍🏼
I haven’t had missed kicks but I have had the occasional double kick. But that’s probably because I bury the beater and sometimes it bounces twice lol
ive found that if you tighten the batter head, it eliminates 99.99% of those missed hits. Also, don't forget that the heads on this thing can be adjusted to respond like acoustic batter heads and is definitely worth doing.
Broo you got your own sticksss???? Hellloo am i the only one seeing this?
That physical education break will remain legendary
What was that snare you played at 2:19?
He made that shell out of old skateboard decks!
Roland for anything over 1K easy. but cool vid bro.
Glad to see you again)
Seems like it is not easy times. I hope you'll have a balance and hapiness
Green screend the background for the match cut of the digital snare to real snare? The seemless slow zoom of the bg makes it look like one shot, it's crazy how perfect that turned out.
Shit looked like David Blaine.
No green screen! Just a cut! Lol
Either produce more content, or direct the next House of Dragons episode, while playing drums on the film soundtrack. Any way you slice it, you have, hands down, the slickest, most pro level video content in the Drum Industry, and I would venture to say, your video work is in the top 3% of slickness of all of the TH-cam content.
ive never watched you before and the intro caught me off gaurd
Ohhh that transition 2:06 🔥
Perfectly timed video. Imminent new living arrangements are meaning I'm having to seriously consider an E-Kit as my main practise set, something I've been resisting for as long as I can because, like you, I've never been a fan. If this can convert you though I'm suddenly very hopeful it won't be all bad 😆 Going to be looking into this!
And, as always, such a good video!
I would recommend getting the Roland TD 27kv2 in this price range. The alesis strata prime is pretty dope looking but the Roland has better functionality with digital ride, hi hats, and snare drum. They are incredible and no other electronic drums compare.
Besides Roland I would also recommend an Efnote kit. They are acoustic design, and designed to just be played, so you don’t have to mess with settings. They are very fun to play.
Wonderful review! And production! Not convinced by the sounds of the kit. The Efnote line sounds the best to me, I prefer super raw sounds. You have a new subscriber though!
The nice thing about this kit is you can make it sound dry if that's the sound one is looking for. The option to do both and then behond is a plus.
details!
the intro caught me offguard bro haha
Use this is a “practice kit”?? I think it’s a lot more than that
Crazy question, would you ever make a custom build for an e-kit like how you would for your normal acoustic setup?
The Forbidden groove 0:00
"look at these ads, WhO MaDe tHeSe aDs" baahhaha
Are we going to have more lessons on the new kit?
Best review of this drum kit
Bro its been a year
Awesome alwais✰you are the best drummer!!🥁🎶⚡✨🌠🌟👌🏻👍🏼
YOOO NEW B SCOTT DROP
He said electric🔋⚡️🔋⚡️🔋⚡️🔋⚡️🔋⚡️🔋⚡️🔋⚡️💡🔋💡🔋⚡️🔋💡🔋⚡️🔋⚡️⚡️🔋💡🔋⚡️⚡️⚡️💡🔋⚡️⚡️
Edrumin and Superior Drummer blows this thing away. All e-kits for that matter.
11:03 Sounds wrong...but feels good 😂
Layering different sound patches on a piano. Now layering different sounds on the drum wow😂
They need different symbol sizes
Bro, I'm really glad that your channel has grown and you have a lot of promotional offers, it's sad that you don't have that warm atmosphere anymore.
Finally after 7 months 😎
Roland Ned’s to be careful
Just buy Roland Td17KV problem solved
I miss you.
I like Brandon and his content but yea, this is more of an advertisement than a review. No negative thoughts at all on the kit? Having a hi-hat move while playing it as closed would drive me nuts. More competition is definitely a good thing, but Roland has been ahead of the competition for so long and has proven their reliability. In my case I’ve had my TD-15 for 10 years and have never had an issue with it despite literally thousands of hours. Roland is also very compatible with other brands, so adding Lemon cymbals and such is a breeze. In my case, I’m going to purchase a TD-27 and combine the best of my existing kit with the new kit to make a larger one (unless Roland announces a new kit soon).
For this kit, the module does look pretty nice. And having a large bass drum is great as well. I think it looks like a decent kit for sure and for people that go with it I don’t necessarily doubt it will be a good and fun kit. But if you are going to spend $3,000 plus, why not get the digital hi-hat and digital ride that Roland offers for a similar price point? And why not get proven reliability over a long term unknown? Just my thoughts as someone who is happy with their 10 year old kit and has been given no reason to change brands.
It's sad to see a young person with a such an uninformed and ignorant opinion about electronic drums. I've never heard a classic guitar player complaining that electric guitars don't sound like Spanish wooden guitars, or classical piano players criticizing synths because they don't behave like a wooden piano. Electronic drums are their own thing in their own league. If you expect them to act or behave like acoustic drums, then the joke is on you.
Yes, I totally agree with you. Don't get into electric drums unless you understand the basic differences with acoustic drums.
Ive got 3 kits. Been divorced 4 times. T kits r not replaceable, but t girlfriends/wives.....c ya!
Divorced once is a them issue, but 4 times? Sounds like a you problem 🤷♂️
@sashaman1234 it's just a joke Sash. 🤙
I want this kit! I hate you 😂
BFD? In a module?!?!! Thank you, Alesis!!!
Ill be honest... Extremely impressive kit
Nice intro😅
that’s not how the word velocity is used bud
How much did they pay you to shill this?
Sounds like a commercial. Within the first 10 seconds we should know if this is sponsored or not dude. Come on do better.
It prolly is sponsored, but it’s an honest review
There's salt that needs pounding...butter to be churned. Go do that. Or...just enjoy a very well put together video. You should fo better.
@@calebivin4425it doesn’t really seem like a review? There are no negative points and he clearly has a relationship with the company. As he has literally made ads for them. I just have a hard time believing he found no flaws with the kit after watching some other reviews on the kit.
New Zildjian e kit joined the chat😅😅😅
I guy with a wisp saying cream your shorts? GAY
unsubscribed.
I need to know why
Beautiful.
@@BrandonScottDrums 😂 chefs kiss 💋
Roland employee, perhaps? 😂
It’s unbearable watching someone who doesn’t know how to hit a drum properly giving a drum demonstration 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Played it and still does not feel like a real drum set.. the pads are very unrealistic
NO Alesis kit is a ferrari, that's a ridiculous statement.. A Drum-Tec kit with a Mimic Pro would be a Ferrari.
Wish you played the drums more without talkin
The cymbals sound like garbage....
Don't forget the $1200 -$2000 or so for the P.A. Unless your just going to use ear buds. The drums will only sound as good as the P.A.
