Been playing mine for for hours today, so much fun. The kick bass is not quiet, and neither are rim shots, but otherwise it's a pretty stealthy kit that won't bother your neighbors.
Sounds solid! I played around on one at guitar center the other day and was amazed at how realistic they sound these days. Definitely caught the bug to want to buy one
I'm digging the shit out of mine. Recieved it last Tuesday and it was easy on set up but instructions and all of the settings were no where to be found I searched Google and found a full manual and wow it made even more of difference now that I know what the heck I'm doing.
I have electronic drum kit of another brand, and i also like this one. I don't expect high quality sounds, but i expect low latency and sensitiveness of pads, because i use mainly for practise and fooling with unusual presets. Not for stage. However this nitro mesh kit sounds nice.
My bass drum does NOT allow for a double bass pedal. It won't register both hits. I have to move the drum over so the right beater hit's directly in the middle.
What's it like picking up ghost notes on the snare? I play a lot of funk and its super important that it picks up those little nuances. Great review man. Cheers.
Hey, I was wondering if I should get one for myself. How loud is the kick pad? I live in an appartment, and I cant be too loud for neighbours downstairs. Would love your feedback on that, thanks!
Is the volume of your kit ok? I just got mine today and the volume is ridicously low, I've tried with a couple of headphones and speakers and still low.
William B-D I highly recommend the brand new Roland td-1dmk. It’s more expensive but the triggers are much more responsive and the overall kit is durable and built to take a beating. Alesis unfortunately does not have a good reputation with durability.
Wait, is the head on the kick tower made of rubber? They've been saying in the NAMM videos that this kit has all mesh heads (even in this video at 39 and 53 seconds).
Doesn't the Surge also add chrome rack- dual zone toms- and both cymbals have choke. As a beginner drummer I'm not sure how much those features are really worth... but the $150 up-charge seems quite modest all things considered.
Thank you for the sidestick!! That's all I've been trying to find for hours lololol... I'm sold. I want to use it with Superior Drummer. I'm sure it'll be perfect.
Electronic drums are good for practicing not making noise like in an apartment or late at night and as add ins for an acoustic kit but never as your stand alone kit live or in the studio.
I bought it for my 10yo son and i don’t know which one of us enjoys it more. The only criticism I would have is that if you hit the rim of the tom toms it would sound like you hit the crash.
@@tswanson23 The crash has choke feature built in. Make sure it's plugged in with the right connector, a mono connector (such as the ride) will disable the crash/choke.
Just got one of these , can’t use my double pedals as stated in this video! It’s a small pad and the beater has to be in the middle, so double beaters don’t work !!
would this sound good as a midi controller for logic? I know people complain about the sounds, but the drum presets in logic are pretty solid for my needs.
Hey man, I am not sure if this is the same model I have because I bought a drum kit like 6 years ago, but mine is very easy to fold, because the "arms" of the drum kit move very easily.
Also, it has some kind of knobs to lower the toms and cymbals as much as you want and you don't need a screwdriver to remove them, only to dissassemble the kit.
How do you keep the frame steady so that it doesn't move around? Had mine for a month now. Not liking how the frame moves, and I have everything tightened.
@@yongokongo It's on a carpet. Sorry. You guys got the wrong impression the kit is sliding on the floor. It's not. Here, look, this is what I mean by the frame moving. th-cam.com/video/3ufMrTj7e0c/w-d-xo.html
I bought a set of these about 3 months ago and have never opened the carton. I just somehow can't get excited about them. The more I watch videos about assembly and setting up, the more attractive my old Tamas become. Anybody want a deal?
That's quite a lot of money to be spending on something that you haven't opened. The box is massive too, how do you have that hanging around your place?
Hey If someone could help me that'd be nice, I'm a hobby musician, Been playing Piano for 8 years, And Guitar for 6 years. I want to start on the drums now, I like to record a few self produced songs (mostly covers) with a small make-do studio i have in my room. Is this Set suitable for me?
Definitely, especially since the studio is small, this thing can fit in some pretty damn tight spaces. Honestly, I was pretty impressed for the price that I paid
I mean if you want to, sure but if you like producing songs, you can never replace live drums and personally, I think live and in the studio using e drums is kind of a waste and not as effective, might as well just program them at that point.
Any chance of doing a video with you playing it? Maybe doing a review, setup time, complications, learning curves... things like that? It would be greatly appreciated.
@@CameronMeadows do you know if you can mess around with the sensibility range of the drum pads from the midi plug-ins drum kits and stuff?? what i mean is if this also works as a midi controller xd ?
I am getting this tmmw. Ive never had a drum kit before and live in an apartment. I just hope ts a quality kit that lasts sometime..from the looks of it for the price looks amazing.. Can anyone answer these questions? The biggest thing i want to do is stream or listen to music and drum long or record, how would i do that, connect to pc and use some kind of software?
Hey does anybody have an answer to my question does it plug into a wall or how does it work? Because from what I've seen u have to have this weird plug for the module power cable but I dont have a plug like that in my apartment
Now let me reply as this was my first drum kit. You can use a double bass pedal (I did) but it will drop some notes so it is not accurate at all when going at a faster speed. An actual second bass drum can't be added unless you are fine with it sounding like a tom or crash XD (I am not sure if it is even possible so let me just say no)
what they say at 1:39 isn't true. if you use a double kick pedal the kick wont detect every hit therefore wont play every sound. an alternative however if you don't mind only having two toms is to take off the mid tom and replace the kick drum with the tom by screwing it in the same place the kick would be.
For $350 you canNOT get a better value. I bought a 'bottom feeder' mesh head kit 10 yrs ago for $500. It was great, sold it about 5 yrs later. Point is mesh kits are hard to find at this price.
If you take care of it and dont abuse it Im sure you can get a lot of use. If you are a hack and beat the shit out of it then it wont last. Wisdom of life.
Everything is replaceable so it's no bother to repair and very inexpensive to do so. Considering yuo can buy three new kits for the cost of one, mid level Roland, it's an excellent value for money. You have to remember, this is not sold as a professional kit, it's not priced as a professional kit. It's a banging around and having fun kit, a practice kit,a beginners kit, an affordable apartment solution etc. Alesis doesn't claim it is high end or super durable, but it is by far the best kit at this price point.
Hi, I notice that this drum kit does not occupy too large a floor area. My room is pretty small and so I want to have a gauge of its dimension. Can you please let me know the length and width of the carpet that you have at the drum base? Thank you.
I dont think you need to. Because this drum kit is very customizable it would fit anywhere. You can research on the internet or the official website to get dimensions.
It’s been a month so I’m not sure if you’ve already found an answer, but the module allows for another crash cymbal and another Tom pad. These can be bought online.
He has his connected wrong, you are right the crash has the choke, he just has the ride plugged into cymbal 1 instead of cymbal 2. That said, you can use the provided ride as a second crash (no choke) and add a two zone ride, plugged into the extra 2-zone tom input.with stereo cable to produce two tones. Then you have a ride with bell, two crashes and can still add a single zone tom (into the extra cymbal input). Works out to be a decent little kit.
Just to clarify, I do not own an Alesis Nitro Mesh, but I have done a lot of research. 1: Yes, I believe you can add one extra tom and one extra cymbal pad. 2: No, I think the kick pad is too small for a double pedal. The Alesis Surge Mesh has a bigger snare pad, kick pad (which will fit a double pedal.) as well as some other things like cymbals that choke and what-not. It is $499 on Amozon right now. A little more expensive but might be worth it. I'd go to Alesis.com and look at each of them, they give pretty good product detail. Hope this helps!
Literally was answered in the video, he said "it has 2 additional outputs for another tom, and crash symbol" then he also said that the kick drum section was large enough for literally almost ANY double bass pedal".... Did you watch the whole video?
EZ Drummer but there are plenty of adjustments in the Alesis module to tweak it to get the reaction and tone you want. With the hat you have open, half open and closed adjustments.
I have a alesis dm10 but my module won't responding looks like is not comunicade to it, I was thinking to try it with a different model same brand did any body knows if this will works please let me know big THANKS...
Secret Zoo Level on my Alesis nitro mesh I have had it for like 5 months, but for the 1st 2 I used the sticks that came with the kit, but then they broke so now I use Vic Firth sticks and I’ve been just fine
@@samgodzwa7927 You can adjust sensitivity and it will pick up the edges of the pad better. Common complaint, easy solution. It won't do well at 320BPM but most double bass work is just fine.
Coming from an Alesis DM5 owner, the module sounds in this kit sound just like the old DM5. If Alesis doesn't make better sounds from the module, there's not much point in buying
Yeah because everyone relies on the builtin module and doesn't just use it as a midi trigger with EZ Drummer.....hang on, actually most people just use it as a trigger for EZ Drummer etc. You can use bucket lids with decent software and they will sound just fine.
Could you please add detail to your statement? For prospective buyers like myself. What exactly are your criticisms of this kit? Thanks in advance. All the reviews I've seen so far are positive.
im started withg quitar. im having some issues though and i love drums also. i want to buy there drums cause i find them cheap the rest i can find in market are 200euro more. i also believe these are a cheap solution and you dont know u maybe will get bored or not have enough time to play after some years can you please also state why save money for a better kit? im also curious and i found many review for this kit and everyone says they are very satisfied for the price atm.... thanks in advance love
@@GMak81im no pro lol im not saying they are necesarily bad. mainly my biggest issues are the hi hat sounds.they sound really toylike and cringy. they are good enough to work but the hihat sounds are definatly what makes me say.. invest into a more expensive kit. the other thing i didnt like was the hi hat controller, it doesnt feel right. i dont know how to explain it. pedal pressed 100% of the way down gives you closed hi hat. 99% pressed down gives you halfway open sound. anything above 75% pressed down gives you open hi hat. i do like this kit i just think a person who knows they are going to stick with drums for awhile should invest in a more expensove kit. the hi hat kills my drummers buzz. other than that. i love it
@@basilisbling8737 yes i was in the same boat. i started with guitar. been playimg for 7 years. wanted to get into drumming. got this kit. i do like it! is great for the price! but.. it turns out im a natural at drumming. and the hi hat is annoyying! so my problem is. this kits only gonna get me so far with those 7 janky toyish hi hat sounds where as a 600 700 kit would have a more (im just assuming)quality hi hat controller and sounds.
Dudes the white Jordan peele
I just got mine 2 days ago and I'm absolutely blown away by it, it is, very fun to play!
Still loving it? Looking at getting one right now
How much is it?
Been playing mine for for hours today, so much fun. The kick bass is not quiet, and neither are rim shots, but otherwise it's a pretty stealthy kit that won't bother your neighbors.
Received this set for my 18th birthday
I'm a beginner so wish me luck :)
Sounds solid! I played around on one at guitar center the other day and was amazed at how realistic they sound these days. Definitely caught the bug to want to buy one
I'm digging the shit out of mine. Recieved it last Tuesday and it was easy on set up but instructions and all of the settings were no where to be found I searched Google and found a full manual and wow it made even more of difference now that I know what the heck I'm doing.

I wish I could afford this right now, I'm sick of playing online drum or vst
I got this drum kit like, two days ago. I thought that this drum kit would not work or something because of price but I was wrong!
Hey, I was wondering if I should get one for myself. How loud is the kick pad? I live in an appartment, and I cant be too loud for neighbours downstairs. Would love your feedback on that, thanks!

Can you please tell me how you can choke the crash cymbal
Yeah same here. Not sure why it does that.
Adjust the cross talk, just crank it all the way up and it won't dual trigger the cymbal.
@@tswanson23 The crash has choke feature built in. Make sure it's plugged in with the right connector, a mono connector (such as the ride) will disable the crash/choke.
@@tswanson23 You have to physically grab the cymbal. There is a spot on the underside that needs to be grabbed and then the cymbal will choke.
Could I trigger Superior Drummer with it?
This dude has chops.
The last drum solo got me weak 😂
That mode is for when you’ve been listening to a lot of death grips
I use Alesis, good drum set, and it on my channel too. Its a good set.
Great demo, thanks!!!
Can you streaming music from your phone to play along? It seems for the money this is a great practice kit for a small apartment.

great job!
would this sound good as a midi controller for logic? I know people complain about the sounds, but the drum presets in logic are pretty solid for my needs.

Yes
Definitely, especially since the studio is small, this thing can fit in some pretty damn tight spaces. Honestly, I was pretty impressed for the price that I paid
Might want to look at getting drum software like Superior Drummer or ezdrummer so you can get really good sounds on this low end kit
You can take yamaha dtx 582k, and it sounds for intermediate to professional drum skill.

Is there a way you can play the drums without headphones for everyone to listen too?
Speakers dude
@@BITVedanshAgarwal 😂😂
the cheap option for you is to buy an acoustic drum set.
The speaker you need to buy and it's an extra 250 on top of the 350 for this kit.
Mid-size speakers work for me. Make sure you get POWERED speakers if you want to hear it!

Can you add an extra crash and if you can how?
It’s been a month so I’m not sure if you’ve already found an answer, but the module allows for another crash cymbal and another Tom pad. These can be bought online.
Aux port on back for crash 2 and tom
You can add an extra crash, the link in his description has a crash cymbal kit for $114
There’s an extra input on the back for it. Along with a fourth Tom input
Can I add another crash?? So 2 crashes w a ride?
I thought the Nitro Mesh had dual zone cymbals?
Nope, only single zone.
It is crash with choke, not ride with choke.
He has his connected wrong, you are right the crash has the choke, he just has the ride plugged into cymbal 1 instead of cymbal 2.

Most likely.

@@happygilmore8321 I have it did improve some :)
HI I'M JUST WONDERING WHERE YOU GOT THIS MAT
Can u please tell me how to connect to laptop to record the best audio
Bluetooth headphones compatible?
18bit? Or 16bit samples?
I have a alesis dm10 but my module won't responding looks like is not comunicade to it, I was thinking to try it with a different model same brand did any body knows if this will works please let me know big THANKS...
manuel moreno I know I’m late, I would recommend buying a new module so you don’t have to buy a entire new kit
Less than 30 days and the mesh on the snare is shredded. The mesh heads didn't last long at all. Is this normal for all Mesh Kits?
If you use the same sticks from your acoustic kit and Edrum kit it’ll destroy the mesh heads, if not tho it might just be crappy heads on the kit
Secret Zoo Level on my Alesis nitro mesh I have had it for like 5 months, but for the 1st 2 I used the sticks that came with the kit, but then they broke so now I use Vic Firth sticks and I’ve been just fine
@@jadonchacon4914 I only have the Electric kit. Must just be junk heads. Alesis sent me a new one.
@@SecretZoolevel Good to know they took care of you!
Hi can you use double pedeal with the kick pad?
1:40
Double petals fit, but the trigger can’t pick up very fast hits, so using one is pointless.
Ok cool thanks
@@samgodzwa7927 You can adjust sensitivity and it will pick up the edges of the pad better. Common complaint, easy solution. It won't do well at 320BPM but most double bass work is just fine.
Do both cymbals have the coke feature?
*choke
and as far as i know, only the crash has the choke feature
No
Yes. If you don't buy the Nitro Mesh, you can score an eightball for the weekend.
Doesn't seem to pick up the sound of the ghost notes you're hitting on the first part of the video
I have this kit and it’s sensitivity/velocity is a little off but great value for the money.
Jars Shew kit setting recommendations in new
Coming from an Alesis DM5 owner, the module sounds in this kit sound just like the old DM5.
If Alesis doesn't make better sounds from the module, there's not much point in buying
Yeah because everyone relies on the builtin module and doesn't just use it as a midi trigger with EZ Drummer.....hang on, actually most people just use it as a trigger for EZ Drummer etc. You can use bucket lids with decent software and they will sound just fine.
Are these touch sensitive, it feels like too good of a deal for like 350 lol
it IS that good of a deal
source: i own one
Yes they are touch sensitive
Yes
I have this kit but i would highly reccomend saving up more money for a better kit. Like.. Its good for the price.
But thats not exactly a compliment.
Could you please add detail to your statement? For prospective buyers like myself. What exactly are your criticisms of this kit? Thanks in advance. All the reviews I've seen so far are positive.
im started withg quitar. im having some issues though and i love drums also.
i want to buy there drums cause i find them cheap the rest i can find in market are 200euro more.
i also believe these are a cheap solution and you dont know u maybe will get bored or not have enough time to play after some years
can you please also state why save money for a better kit?
im also curious and i found many review for this kit and everyone says they are very satisfied for the price atm....
thanks in advance
love
@@GMak81im no pro lol im not saying they are necesarily bad. mainly my biggest issues are the hi hat sounds.they sound really toylike and cringy. they are good enough to work but the hihat sounds are definatly what makes me say.. invest into a more expensive kit. the other thing i didnt like was the hi hat controller, it doesnt feel right.
i dont know how to explain it.
pedal pressed 100% of the way down gives you closed hi hat. 99% pressed down gives you halfway open sound. anything above 75% pressed down gives you open hi hat.
i do like this kit i just think a person who knows they are going to stick with drums for awhile should invest in a more expensove kit. the hi hat kills my drummers buzz. other than that. i love it
@@basilisbling8737 yes i was in the same boat. i started with guitar. been playimg for 7 years. wanted to get into drumming. got this kit. i do like it! is great for the price! but.. it turns out im a natural at drumming. and the hi hat is annoyying!
so my problem is. this kits only gonna get me so far with those 7 janky toyish hi hat sounds where as a 600 700 kit would have a more (im just assuming)quality hi hat controller and sounds.
I have just bought this kit, and I’m waiting for it now, but like the other dude said, all reviews have been positive so far, so time will show.
what the hell, i bought my nitro kit a week before this came out
I'll buy too.
I bought my nitro kit a month before this kit came out and it is same price here 😂
How do I turn the cymbal sound on or off while holding?
Junior Vieira yeah, mine doesn’t have the choke. 😢
Junior Vieira there is like a few dots sticking out on the cymbal if you hold your thumb it will stop
@@b_t_b_h_ You sure you didn't put the choke cymbal on the high-hat?
Was wondering when this was going to release....hmmm
Can we input our own sounds??
Yeah you can, this kit has midi usb connection.
NO! You cannot load (INPUT) sounds into the module, but you can use MIDI OUT to trigger EZ Drummer etc on a tablet or laptop.
@@oz_medias Or a keyboard or a sampler.
Just bought one and i know the cymbals and the hi hat is gonna sound so bad... but its kinda worth it
Philippines?🇵🇭😂
Wow! How much is it in PH peso?
jb music store?
I live in an apartment will my neighbors here this?
If you're above people the bass drum might be annoying.
put a carpet under it.
so the mesh can be torn? if so can you get a replacement?
yeah any mesh head from any brand fits just as long as its the right size so 8 inch for these pads
