Alesis Nitro Pro Electric Drum Set with Dual-Zone Quiet Mesh Pads, 500+ Authentic BFD Sounds, Bluetooth, Drumeo, USB MIDI, Double Kick Compatible

When I bought this, I had my doubts, I mean it is pricy. But all of that went away when I played it. This thing is a blast, it is awesome and really great, you get a lot of bang for your buck. I have had no issues with it, though you will need a 35mm audio jack to play with it and probably an adapter ( 2 male 35mm stereo jacks to 1 female) but other than that it is awesome. It functions great, the sounds are really great, The brain is a bit confusing, but overall it is a great starting place to any drummer NOTE: No matter what any advertising says, IT IS NOT QUIET! it is a lot quieter than real drums, but you are still hitting drums at full force, it is decently loud, loud enough people can hear me play through 2 pairs of walls

I think this is probably the best budget kit available on Amazon. This kit has several HUGE advantages and very few relatively minor issues as far as I was able to notice. Pros: 1) High quality construction 2) Very good drum module with many features 3) A metronome with 3 different sounds to select from - this is HUGE plus! It is also very robust, you do not need to buy any external metronome. 4) Bluetooth connectivity works like a charm! 5) The module has a holder for phone or tablet, very convenient 6) The module allows you to change/assign midi codes for each item in the kit - this is HUGE! 7) The module has USB-B midi port, you can use to connect your iPad and leverage on midi integration. This is very useful for games and learning (among other things). 8) Additional parts are available for purchasing 9) The drums module acts as mixer for your drums and whatever external stereo audio source you may want to use (I usually use Youtube on iPad). In other words, no need to buy separate mixer unless you want to connect microphones or more than one audio source. Cons: 1) Included assembly instruction guide is useless. It is impossible to understand anything there. I suggest to watch youtube video "Alesis Nitro Max Mesh Kit setup guide", it should help, but please allocate at least one hour for assembly. 2) The kit does not include audio and USB adapters/cables to connect your headphones and tablets (I will list all the additional cables you need below) 3) The module does not have standard midi ports, it only offers midi connectivity via USB. Note, only midi can be sent via USB, no audio. For audio connectivity you need to use bluetooth or 3.5mm audio cable. 4) Tom-2 has incorrect midi code, you will need to change it in the settings of the module from 45 (low tom) to 47 (low-mid tom) 5) User manual for the module is not included, you need to download it from the manufacturer web site 6) Audio sound is relatively weak, you may need to buy mini preamp... I am still testing a few options here. This is optional though. 7) The electric kit is not completely silent though, people around will hear you hitting toms with sticks. You can buy dumpers for your drumsticks, but dumpers can reduce the noise, not eliminate it. Expansion Pack: I highly suggest to purchase expansion pack from the Alesis, it is called Alesis Drums Nitro Max Expansion Pack. Headphones: You have probably purchased this kit to practice silently using headphones. If you want to teach your child, you may need two pairs of headphones that can be connected to each other, so you can hear your child playing. I picked OneOdio Over Ear Headphone, Wired version. Headphones come with two cords, black (3.5), and red (1/4). You only need the red cord. However, you will need to also buy 1/4 Female Stereo to 2 X 1/4 Male Mono Y Splitter since the module has two 1/4 female mono jacks for left and right channels. For midi connectivity with iPad (mine has lighting connector and headphones jack) you may need: 1) USB A Male to USB B Male Cable 2) Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter 3) I like to use mobile application X Drum - 3D & AR, it has very good midi integration (make sure to change midi code for tom 2 as listed above) For iPad audio connectivity: 1) Bluetooth can be used 2) Instead I am using 3.5mm stereo male to male Audio Cable to connect module with iPad through iPad headphones jack. My summary and conclusion: I like this kit, and to my opinion it worths its price.

I got this so I can play quietly, whenever I want. I highly recommend getting the expansion pack for the extra cymbal and tom. This kit is very very well packaged. Tons of cardboard and plastic to throw out. The instructions aren't the best. The rack is fairly cheap and wobbly, but works ok. The snare bounces a bit, but really doesn't affect my drumming experience. I'm 6'3" and i was worried about playability given my long arms but I can play it. I placed things as far away as I can when setting it up. I had a difficult time getting my double bass pedals connected to the kick pad, I had to modify my kick pedal mount, and the beaters have to be as close to the center of the pad as possible to work. Now I got it pretty good, but the whole kickpad moves, So ill have to figure out how to keep it from moving. (keep in mind that a single kickpedal, like what comes with the kit will work fine, but you still may find the kickpad moving). Maybe I can put something heavy on it, or affix it to the floor? Anyway, I really enjoy the feel of the drums, you get that feel and bounce just like real drums. With my headphones on, its loud and sounds really close to real acoustic drums and cymbals. It really is quite remarkable. I haven't ran it out to my PA system yet (or "drum amp"), Someday soon. Im sure it sounds like on the headphones. It is nice to not be straddling a snare stand, some people say they prefer using a snare stand to the bouncy mount, but I don't see that I need to at all. Most of the included kits and alternate "voices" are ridiculous, number 01 is the best, most realistic kit. You can change the EQ bands, lows, mids, highs, which is nice. It's easy to change the sound of any drum or cymbal, but it's def limited, and not much realistic choices. I was excited about the Dark Mahogany kit you can get online, but keep in mind the module must be connected to your computer to work, it doesn't "install" the kit unto the module so you can use it anytime NOT connected to the computer. Bummer for me, because I don't have a computer in my jam room, lol. Ill get a laptop I guess for this purpose. The footprint of this kit is WAY smaller than my old acoustic kit which is nice, great for small spaces. It's great for beginners, or advanced players, kids or adults. It's not 100% quiet, my wife could hear the tapping and thumping noises from the other side of the house, but hey, there is going to be a little noise, but it's pretty darn quiet. I guess what i'm saying is that if you think playing at 2am when others are sleeping and the house is dead quiet isn't qoing to bother anyone,, it MIGHT. I might look for another kickpad (bigger and more stable). And the rack could be beefier. Ok, thats it! all my thoughts on it. I do not regret buying this kit! I'm playing everyday now, and I'm not bothering anyone.

👍 What works well The mesh pads — including a 10″ dual-zone snare, three 8″ dual-zone toms, and an 8″ mesh kick pad — give a much more realistic feel and rebound than rubber pads, and are notably quieter, making this kit much more suitable for home practice. Dual-zone snare and tom pads (head + rim) let you do rim-shots and cross-sticks for greater expressivity. The included sound module — with 36 preset kits plus 16 user slots and over 500 sounds drawn from a high-quality sample library — offers a lot of sonic flexibility, covering many musical styles. Build and ergonomics: the steel rack is sturdy, adjustable, and stable. The kick-tower supports double pedals. Setup is straightforward, and the spacing and adjustability are good even for adult drummers. Extras: Bluetooth/Aux-in to jam along with music, USB/MIDI for recording or virtual instrument use, and built-in metronome/recorder/sequencer for practice or producing. 👎 Where it shows its limitations The cymbal pads are single-zone (usually no separate bell, edge, bow articulations), limiting realism and nuance compared with higher-end kits. Some users find certain onboard sounds (especially cymbals or certain drum patches) “only average” — fine for practice or home use, but likely not good enough for serious recording or live performance. For more advanced techniques (like expressive open/close hi-hat control, very dynamic cymbal work, or realistic double-bass pedal feel), the kit may feel somewhat limited — many drummers eventually outgrow it or upgrade to a higher-end electronic or acoustic set. The set doesn’t include a drum throne (seat) or headphones, so you’ll need to provide those separately. 🎯 Overall verdict For a home-use, practice, or entry-to-intermediate electric kit, the Alesis Nitro Pro offers excellent value: realistic mesh-pad feel, flexible sound options, and a stable, well-designed rack — all at a price point far below pro-level electronic kits. For beginners or intermediate drummers wanting to learn, practise quietly, jam, or record demos, it’s a very solid, all-round choice. However, if you aim for high-fidelity studio recordings, nuanced cymbal articulation, or pro-level performance, you should treat it as a mid-range kit — good, but with some compromises.

Muy buena dentro del rango. Rack es algo más endeble que otras marcas y nos muy práctico que las uniones se ajusten solo con llave allen (incluida). Me sorprendió la sensibilidad del pedal de hh y los sonidos. La Sensación de los pads de mesh muy buena y sin duda más silenciosos que los pads de platillo.

A fantastic kit! Bought the expansion pack too, which I would personally recommend, as it gives you more options around the kit (use one tom as a cow bell, for example). This kit is so good, I actually gig it in small venues (small pubs in the UK). The first 6 kits on the module are BFD drum samples, as far as I'm aware, but all the kits sound good. Hook this kit up to a laptop with BFD drums/EZ Drummer for an incredible array of drum kits at your disposal. Only one downside, the rack! After playing for a certain amount of time, the rack fittings drift to the point where the tubes part company with the clamps, and it falls over. Remember to check the tubes are fully inserted into the clamps before you play, and everything will be just fine. For the money, I don't think you'll find a better kit out there.

Je suis un débutant et je trouve le kit très bon rapport qualité prix. Points forts : facile à monter, bon son et bonne responsivité, bon prix Points faible : le rack bouge un peu (utiliser un trépied pour caisse claire améliore grandement le problème), la pédale de grosse caisse ne se règle pas en angle, la pédale de charleston n'est pas assez sensible, pad de grosse caisse un tout petit peu petit pour certaine double pédales.
