Description

The Alesis Nitro Ultimate isn’t just an electronic drum kit—it’s a full-on, immersive drumming experience designed to meet the needs of serious drummers and ambitious beginners alike. With a sleek nine-piece configuration, an adjustable stand-mounted hi-hat controller, and ultra-responsive mesh heads, the Nitro Ultimate gives you the feel and flexibility of an acoustic kit, minus the noise. Whether you're honing your chops in a bedroom, laying down tracks in the studio, or jamming along with your favorite playlists via Bluetooth, this kit puts expressive control, pro-level features, and next-gen sound at your fingertips.

Designed for Expression, Built for the Real World

Everything about the Nitro Ultimate is designed to capture the nuance of real drumming. The dual-zone mesh pads give you rim and head articulation, while the newly engineered, groove-style cymbals feature choke functionality for realistic crash control and expressive ride work. The kit’s standout feature is its movable, stand-mounted hi-hat controller—designed for serious players who want more from their hi-hat dynamics. It's compatible with traditional hi-hat stands (sold separately), giving you even more ways to dial in a setup that fits your playing style.

9-Piece Electronic Drum Kit Configuration

The Nitro Ultimate includes a 10" dual-zone mesh snare, three 8" dual-zone mesh toms with metal hoops, an 8" mesh kick tower with pedal, and four dual-zone cymbals including two crashes, a ride, and a movable 10" hi-hat. The hi-hat is mounted on a stand with pedal controller and is compatible with traditional hi-hat stands (sold separately), offering advanced foot articulation that mimics acoustic response.

Over 640 Sounds and 52 Kits—Instantly Inspiring

At the core of the Nitro Ultimate is the feature-packed Nitro Ultimate Module, loaded with over 640 professionally recorded drum and percussion sounds. From acoustic kits to electronic textures and FX, the 52 built-in kits (including 16 user slots) offer endless variety for every genre. You also get access to BFD Player software and premium sound expansions, including the Dark Mahogany Expansion Pack and the BFD Player Core Library, delivering stunning realism and depth out of the box.

Bluetooth Connectivity and Modern I/O

Practicing along with backing tracks, YouTube videos, or lesson content is seamless thanks to integrated Bluetooth audio streaming. Sync your phone or tablet wirelessly and jam in real time through the module. The Nitro Ultimate also features stereo TRS outputs, a headphone jack, USB MIDI, and aux input, making it fully equipped for quiet practice, recording, or live performance.

Everything You Need to Play, Practice, and Progress

This complete kit includes a rugged four-post rack, metal hoops on all mesh pads, and a stable kick tower with a real pedal. You’ll also receive a free 90-day Drumeo subscription for interactive drum lessons and skill development. Whether you’re practicing precision rudiments, learning new grooves, or improvising freely, the Nitro Ultimate gives you the tools to develop and perform at your best.
