Alesis Nitro Ultimate XL 10-Piece Electronic Drum Set -

If you’ve outgrown starter kits but still need to keep the volume under control, the Alesis Nitro Ultimate XL 10-piece electronic drum set is ready to rock. From the moment you sit down, the expanded layout, larger mesh pads and stand-mounted hi-hat point to a more serious playing experience, with room to develop touch, dynamics and control at home or in any small space. The 10-piece configuration includes an 8" kick tower, a 12" dual-zone snare, four 10" dual-zone toms, a 10" stand-mounted hi-hat, a 14" triple-zone ride and two 12" dual-zone crash cymbals for a full setup that supports growth, nuance and consistency. Alesis leans into what it does best here—electronic kits that feel natural to play—pairing a more realistic setup with 52 onboard kits, over 640 sounds and modern features like Bluetooth for play-along practice. With included Drumeo lessons and BFD Player software, it’s a clear step forward for anyone looking to step up their practice, explore new ideas and stay inspired without cranking an acoustic kit.

Flexible Module and Connectivity for Modern Practice

Forming the nucleus of the set, the Nitro Ultimate XL drum module keeps practice and recording workflows simple and musician-focused. It spans 52 kits and over 640 sounds for quick access to a wide range of styles, plus Bluetooth audio for play-along sessions and USB-MIDI for recording into a DAW or triggering virtual instruments. Multiple output options support headphones or external gear, and the layout makes it easy to move between kits, shape tones and stay locked into the groove.

Larger Dual-Zone Mesh Pads With Acoustic-Style Layout

The playing surface is built to reward developing technique. A 12" dual-zone mesh snare with metal hoops and four 10" dual-zone mesh toms provide comfortable targets for clean transitions, consistent stick control and detailed dynamics, all while keeping volumes manageable for apartments, bedrooms and small studios. The larger pad sizes and expanded layout help the kit feel more like an acoustic drum set, making it easier to translate practice time into real-world coordination and confidence.

Expressive Cymbals With Choke Functionality

A 14" triple-zone ride and two 12" dual-zone crashes deliver the articulation and control drummers expect as their playing expands. Multiple zones support more nuanced phrasing, and choke functionality adds a tighter, more realistic response for accents, stops and controlled cymbal work during practice or recording. The result is a cymbal feel that encourages musical choices instead of just timekeeping.

Stand-Mounted Hi-Hat Control for Natural Footwork

The 10" hi-hat cymbal sits on a stand-mounted controller system that works with a traditional hi-hat stand (sold separately), giving players a more familiar foot-driven response. Closed patterns, openings and quick articulations feel more connected to the motion underfoot, which helps drummers build coordination, timing and control across both hands and feet. It’s a meaningful upgrade for players who want their hi-hat work to translate with more consistency.

Built-In Learning Tools and Expandable Sound Library

To support long-term progress, the Nitro Ultimate XL includes 90-day access to Drumeo’s interactive lessons and BFD Player software with the BFD Player Core Library and Dark Mahogany Expansion Pack. Together, these tools make it easier to stay motivated, refine fundamentals and explore more studio-ready drum sounds and mixes as your playing evolves. For drummers ready to move beyond a starter kit and into a fuller, more expressive electronic setup, the Nitro Ultimate XL 10-piece kit gives you a realistic feel, a deep sound set and a clear path forward for practice and recording at home.
