Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit | Eight Piece All-Mesh Electronic Drum Kit with Play Along Tracks, Drum Sticks & Drum Key Included

Everything is perfect except the connectors get worn out over time

The sound quality is less than acoustic, could not purchase the acoustic due to sound production being hazardous to the ear drums of family members. Moving, on, the assembly was easy as the instructions were clear and easy to follow. This is great set for beginners and anyone who is passionate about drumming. There are great beats stored in the module,also an examination mode where the module will play you a tone and then you got to play it back,it will let you know how u performed. Recommending for purchase.

Overall pretty good. PROs: - Very good overall quality of sound and connectivity - Excellent module, good sounds, flexible settings - Good mesh setup at a good price point compared to other brands CONs / Some improvement areas: I'm not a pro drummer to give avtechnical review, but some impressions: - Size of the heads could've been bigger... Especially snare and toms. This gap is more defined due to very high or protruding rims... You may hit a rim sound very often due to size, unless you're a pro with precision hits - Frame setup can be shaky, but manageable. The height is also not the best, especially when compared to an acoustic setup. But this is manageable unless you're very tall. - Hihat controller not very good quality Overall decent value for its price point, especially for beginners

Pros - 1. Good sound bank. 2. Snare pad is actually good. 3. Light weight, easy to carry. 4. Easy to setup & occupy less space. 5. 1 extra crash & 1 extra tom expansion. Cons - 1. Hi-hat pedal is not consistent. 2. Ride cymbal has only one channel sensor. 3. Hard to adjust a double kick pedal. Conclusion - If your budget is around 35k, this kit is for you✌🏻.

I bought this product and the hi-hat was not in working condition so I placed a replacement for this product. The kit was replaced and new one was working properly but within 2-3 months the snare pad of the drum kit stopped working. I contacted Alesis and they asked me to contact the Seller So i contacted cocoblue retails service team and they asked me to courier the snare pad to them, they replaced the snare pad but the problem was not solved and snare pad was not working even after replacing the snare pad. I again contacted the service team and now they are saying that thay can't help anymore with the same problem but the product comes with 1 year warranty. Don't buy this product because if you face any problem with your kit you will not get valuable service from them

The product is amazing. Very good for home practice! I connected it to my iPad Air2 and produced some awesome sounding drum sounds, really loving it. The only gripe about the item is that the snare is a bit small but can be managed, otherwise it's the best e-drum for its price.

I used to play drums 22 years back when I was in school and it was always a dream to own one. This is freaking amazing. Sounds amazing and very easy to setup. Nitro module takes a while to get used to, but default sounds are amazing. I love it. Totally recommend to anyone who wants to own an electric drum set.

Review is writen after 2months of use and attached pictures of my Hybrid kit (mixing both Alesia and my acoustic drumkit) it worked great 👍 Manufacturers have to work more on increasing bass drum sound. But the module has an option to increase the volume but it won't works much. Apart from that this kit is value for money and it's one of the best kit

L'ho presa per mio figlio di 4 anni che ha mostrato molta propensione e sta facendo lezioni con un maestro. Per il prezzo è una batteria che si potrebbe tranquillamente suonare su un palco, non è un giocattolo, ottimi suoni, pelli mesh, buona risposta dinamica... penso sia la migliore scelta in questo range. Il rack consente di montarla più bassa per bambini e questo è stato il motivo della mia scelta di Alesis. Ho ricercato molto e a mio avviso al di sotto di questo modello sono davvero giocattoli... questo però, ripeto, è del tutto dignitoso e soddisferebbe anche un amatore adulto senza problemi. Chiaramente non aspettatevi rullate fluide come nei modelli top della Roland, però parliamo di prezzi 10/15 volte tanto. Questa suona bene, è ben fatta, carina da vedere, leggera. Se vostro figlio vuole imparare non gli comprate giocattoli, prendete una batteria che può iniziare a suonare realmente e che non gli tarpi le ali sul nascere. Molto consigliata.

Débutant à la batterie, je voulais acquérir un bon kit pour débuter mais pas forcément le premier prix basique. Après consultations de nombreux avis et comparatifs, je me suis tourné vers ce kit d'Alesis. Les points forts : Légère et prends peu de place. Bien que le montage soit un peu fastidieux (mais honnêtement c'est faisable en une demi-heure, faut pas exagérer...), le kit reste solide et bien en place une fois monté. La qualité du son est très bonne, ça sonne clairement et proprement. Attention à bien utiliser un casque sans micro sinon les sons seront étouffés. Les peaux "mesh" sont vraiment agréables à utiliser, le rendu est très bon, les baguettes rebondissent bien. Toute la partie logicielle est complète, un peu fastidieuse pour les réglages précis (dommage que le mode d'emploi soit succinct). Les possibilités de connexions sont top (casque, enceinte, PC, toms supplémentaires...) Une excellente batterie pour débuter et pour pratiquer à un niveau intermédiaire !

Back in the day, people used to say that something fun was "the most fun you can have with your clothes on". It was a bit of a naff saying but it did the rounds for a long time. Well, drumming might just be that fully-dressed frolic that works for me! I laugh out aloud whether I'm getting something right or hilariously wrong, and its invigorating and rewarding at the same time. This kit covers just about all that I want to achieve. I was getting it to replace the old Octapad II that I still have. That was getting a bit unreliable and I just wanted to trigger drum sounds elsewhere, but to my surprise, actually playing and learning new tricks has proven to be pretty engaging and exciting. It's hard to assemble, and heavy too once it starts coming together (well, it has to be). The instructions are okay, but not overwhelming. We really need another picture for a little Ikea-man lying on the floor throwing a tantrum when putting one of these together. It's kinda exciting to see it taking shape, though. The instructions are a bit fuzzy on things like orientation of parts - is this crossbar the right way up, or upside down? Getting the kit assembled is partly instruction and partly inspiration. Once it is set up, the fun begins. The module (brain) controls everything except your playing, and has a bunch of demo tune for playing along to, with drum parts that can be switched on or off as required. You can also choose other kits (sounds) to play or concoct your own kit from the various sampled sounds, mixing bass drum with snare from another kit, and cymbals from yet another one, and so on. There are practice functions to improve your timing and accuracy in other regards as well, and switching on the metronome while playing along to a demo tune will also invoke the function that watches your timing. You can even play music from your phone or some other device and drum along to that. I record music and have made drumless versions of my own music to play along to. It might also be possible to find such tunes online, by bigger rockstars than me! You can also play drums into a DAW (USB-midi) and assign the hits to different drum sounds, meaning that you can add your own playing to any demo tracks you are recording and also change the sounds as you go. It's a beginner kit in many ways. The drums are all single-zone but for the snare, which has two. This means that the sounds are less changeable by techniques such as where you strike the drum, although they are obviously velocity-sensitive and you get a lot of nuance that way. You have to move up to another kit to get that feature. You can add another tomtom and another cymbal to this kit using the two spare inputs on the brain module. I've not become an expert with this one yet, but who knows, one day I might do a whole-bar fill that goes around the kit and miss that final drum and cymbal. It's comprehensive enough for a long time musician getting into drumming, there's a lot to learn. Build quality is "sturdy". It needs to be! It's heavy as a large boulder but things like the bass drum pedal, while fantastic and just like a proper one, are so light that they will creep across the floor as you play the bass drum, eventually ending up out of reach! So you really need to look at getting a backstop for wandering pedals. The hi-hat pedal doesnt have the same wanderlust. It's not so bad. Playing acoustically is hilarious, just a collection of weird bumps and binks and bops as you hit the pieces, so headphones or an external amp are the way to go. I've used a guitar combo to good effect, although you really have to do some serious equalising of the sound to get something acceptable. Headphones is great too, and with other people in the house perhaps it's the only polite option. Playig upstairs on a wooden floor would be antisocial either way, so use a good drum mat or something to deaden the bumps if you are in that situation. As a 60-something just getting started, this is great fun, and with great fun comes great progress. I'm now confident that I could amaze someone with my drumming (unless they were also a drummer) and was at that level after about 2 months of playing an hour or so each day. I've come to a plateau in my progress and now need to look into specific things, most importantly trying to get my right foot (bass drum) to stop following my right hand (hi-hat cymbal) when I change the rhythm on one or the other. This "rewiring" of the brain is a common obstable that is only overcome with practice, and this kit provides more than enough fun to keep me going while I figure that de-coupling skill out. It's not for everybody. If you're easily discouraged then it really doesn't matter how great a drumkit is, you probably wouldn't stick with it anyway, but if you're even moderately ambitious and open about having to learn and improve, this is a real blast. I doubt I'll ever regret buying this kit and using it to "upskill" myself in music. There's also nothing quite as satisfying as now having demo tracks on which I really did play every last instrument myself! No drum machines, no pre-recorded tracks slipped in, just my own work. Enjoy!

OJO: En este video el sonido no viene directamente del módulo, sino de mi PC usando Addictive Drums 2 Ya llevo 3 semanas con este kit y hasta ahora me ha gustado bastante, es suficiente para grabar mis covers. Los pads de malla se sienten muy bien al momento de golpearlos, eso sí, la primera vez que los usas los sentirás muy raros (sobre todo si estás acostumbrado a los pads de hule del Guitar Hero como yo XD). El rack es de aluminio y es bastante sólido a pesar de que cuándo lo armas por primera vez lo sientes algo frágil, pero si eres perfeccionista harás muchos ajustes hasta que los 2 tubos externos (izquiero y derecho) queden derechitos. Lo que no me gustó es que la tarola es muy pequeña y al principio vas a estar golpeando el aro a cada rato por accidente (te acostumbras después), algo que se arregla con el nuevo Alesis Nitro Max que sale en 2024 (trae una tarola de 10" en lugar de 8"). Otra cosa, sí eres relativamente alto como yo (1.80), te resultará incómodo que la tarola esté tan bajita, lo que recomiendo es que el tubo de los toms los subas hasta arriba donde tope y el tubo de la tarola lo pongas en la segunda posición en lugar de la tercera. Algo más que no me "gustó" fueron las baquetas, y lo digo entre comillas porque en realidad son bastante buenas al tacto, el problema que tengo con ellas es más personal ya que estoy acostumbrado a baquetas 7A más delgadas que las que vienen incluidas. Algo que sí no gustó para nada de estas baquetas es que si tratas hacer el golpeteo de izquierda-derecha como el de Ringo Starr, el pad del hi-hat se ensucia con los restos que sueltan las baquetas (como se puede ver en el primer clip). Limpié el pad con agua pero esa marca sigue visible, lo cambié a la posición del ride y después de dos semanas usando baquetas con punta de plástico haciendo el mismo movimiento el pad del hi-hat se ha mantenido perfecto (como se aprecia en el segundo clip). Algo más, si eres de los que suelen levantar el pie del pedal de hi-hat en un kit acústico para enfatizar y agregar dinamismo a un video, te resultará fastidioso ya que el pedal se mueve bastante. Yo lo hice en el primer clip, pero terminaba cansado de la pierna izquierda, en el segundo clip ya sólo subía y bajaba el pie en lugar de mover toda la pierna.

tl;dr: Great kit for any drummer whether you live in a home, apartment or have young children and you want to drum while they are asleep at night. Great variety of sounds to play with. Ability to save custom kits. best bang for your buck if you want an e-kit that near perfectly replicates an acoustic set, and the company that takes care of your warranty is amazing. Recently got my own house again and wanted to get back into drummer, but with an infant daughter, an acoustic set was out of the question. So I decided to go with this e-kit and it was a great choice. It's such a quite set that I can play it late at night whilst my baby is sleeping and it doesn't wake her at all. Best bang for your buck if you want an e-kit that can very closely resemble and acoustic set (such as the lighter or heavier you hit a cymbal/snare/tom the lower or higher the sound) and the mesh heads feel great. Not a perfect match to an acoustic but miles better than an e-kit that doesn't use mesh heads. Unfortunately, I did have an issue with the kit out of box, but the company that takes care of the warranty is fantastic. I sent in a ticket, and instead of just throwing emails around they called me directly to work out the details and in less than a week my issue was fixed. (Which is why I'm still giving this kit a 5 star. Though it may have had an issue, it was most likely not a common one and the support was amazing) I Had to give up my acoustic drumset about 8 years ago do to moving into an apartment. Finally got to a place where I could start drumming again and decided to give this e-kit a try. I had been pushed away from e-kits for so long because they just weren't the best and hard to get into after you've played an acoustic kit. Needless to say e-kits have come a long way, and for the price this is a great set for beginners and intermediate drummers. The mesh pads feel great and give you a decently close to real feel. They rebound a bit more than a real snare/toms, but it's not that bad. The set is nice a quite so you're not annoying anyone else that might be listening, so it would also be great for apartments, but if someone is living below you the bass pedal might still be loud. It has a great variety of sounds to choose from and you can create your own kits and save them right onto the module. The ability to plug in your phone to an aux jack on the module is also great. Makes it so much easier to play along with music. One thing I do for easy recording of drum covers or just recording beats is that I use an aux splitter. I plug that splitter in the headphone jack, plug my headphones into one end and use a double ended aux cord into the other. That way you plug in the aux into a microphone jack on your PC and you can record your drums right into audcity or a similar audio recorder. Alternatively, you can change that mic input into a listen device and the sound goes straight to your PC and you just use software like OBS or similar to record your covers. Doing this, since you're playing the music your drumming to from your phone plugged into the aux port on the module, that music is going directly to your PC with your drums. It's a nice way to record covers without having to worry about syncing up your music to your drums. I also find that there isn't a huge drop is sound quality doing it thing way either. The drums still sound great going through the aux to your PC so it's a nice cheap option compared to spending tons of money on interfaces.
