Alesis Nitro Module Introduction

Introducing the Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit

Alesis Nitro Mesh Electronic Drum Kit

Alesis on the 2018 Vans Warped Tour

The Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit is a complete 8-piece electronic drum set centered around next-generation Alesis mesh-head drum technology. Mesh heads are the unanimous preference of electronic drummers for their natural feel and ultraquiet response. The Nitro Mesh Kit gives you an 8" dual-zone mesh snare drum and three 8" mesh toms. It includes everything else you need to make a complete drum kit: three 10" cymbals, custom-designed Alesis hi-hat pedal and kick pedal, and a durable 4-post aluminum rack. Alesis also includes all the cabling, a power supply and drum key for easy setup. All of this connects to their legendary Nitro electronic drum module, which has hundreds of drum and percussion sounds, 40 drum kits and 60 built-in play-along tracks. And, as all drummers demand, it has an AUX input to connect a smartphone or music player for instant practice and accompaniment.
Responsive Mesh Heads Provide an Authentic Playing Feel
The Nitro Mesh Kit's mesh drum heads provide an authentic response for drummers of any skill level. The 8" dual-zone mesh snare pad transitions seamlessly from standard strokes to rimshots, while the three 8" mesh tom pads allow for fast, natural playing. The mesh heads are tunable, so drummers can customize rebound and sensitivity for their perfect playing response. The mesh heads are also significantly quieter than traditional drum pads, enabling after-hours practice without disturbing others.
Premium Sound Module Packed With Options
The Nitro drum module provides 40 ready-to-play drum kits and 385 drum and cymbal sounds for any musical style. It features 60 built-in play-along tracks, a metronome, sequencer and performance recorder to help drummers hone their skills. An aux input allows drummers to connect a smartphone or music player to play along with their favorite songs. USB and MIDI connections provide options to trigger virtual instruments and recording software. The module also has MIDI in and out ports to connect directly to standalone MIDI gear.
Complete Set of Accessories Included
The Nitro Mesh Kit comes with all necessary accessories, including an aluminum 4-post rack, kick drum pedal, hi-hat controller pedal, connection cables, drum sticks, drum key and power supply. A drum throne is all that's needed to get started. The included drum sticks are high-quality and durable, designed specifically for electronic drum kits.

I would buy this set again
It is a great set for sound and practice.. I have a 5 piece acoustic with 4 cymbals and high hat. I bought this set so I could practice without disturbing anybody with noise. I have it out in the yard in a shed and all drum heads, high hat and cymbals are very quiet no matter how hard I hit them...However the bass pedal and the surface in which it strikes is NOT very quiet...My wife says,....even in the house it is annoying....It sounds like someone is playing basket ball...all in all it is a great set for the money. I would recommend it if you live alone...Carl

Prepare to aggravate your apartment neighbors!
This kit gets great reviews for the most part and I was quite disappointed to find what I actually got. Guitar Center where I purchased it did not have any floor models set up so I just bought it to give it a try, since it could be returned within 14 days, although there was a "15% restocking fee(about $57.)" The drums themselves are quite small and nothing at all like an acoustic drum kit in placement or radius so for anyone over 5' 5" this is a difficult kit to be scrunched up behind. I'm 6' 1" and can say a teenager or other beginner of smaller stature is who this would be best suited for. Onto the sounds themselves, out of about 40 different kit options most are quite cheesy and primitive in technological advancement, I'm thinking 1991 is a generous time frame for their level of real drum-mimicking sound quality. I did find a couple of electro/industrial type sounds I liked. Next, the volume through headphones is quite limited. I listen to music on my earbuds at a louder volume than this is capable of! Next, the rims of the snare and toms are so deep and protruding that they're nearly impossibly not to hit when you're working with such tiny drums. All this aside, I would have kept this kit as a practice tool in my apartment for when I can't get to the rehearsal space as often as I like if it weren't for it DISPRUPTING AND AGGRAVATING MY NEIGHBORS!?! Now keep in mind I only used it through headphones so no amplification was involved. Even so, the sheer impact of the kick drum getting the rubber kick pad apparently "shook the pictures" of the walls of a neighbor in my building not even directly under or next to me!! I got two complaints from two different neighbors in one week, saying it sounded like I was pounding on the floor. Keep in mind, they can't hear the other drums so it doesn't even sound like beats, just annoying home improvement but daily and erratic. I tried reinforcing the kick pedal, adding another layer of carpet under it - nothing helped.

I bought 2 sets and ordered a 10'pad snare. 8' snare is too small for a dual zone snare. Love the set for practice and rehearsals. Will be taking it on the next 3 gigs this week with a Kat Percussion pad added for cowbell, etc: Highly recommend!
Good for beginners

I got this for my son, and he's loving it. In just a couple of weeks, he already learned to make some beats and can operate the module better than myself. So it's already doing its job well for learning. I probably wouldn't use it for serious performance, however. #sweepstakes

I am a complete newbie on the drums. This kit has everything I need to begin learning the drums, including an electronic component that challenges me to do better. I can play quietly using headphones, so I do not disturb my neighbors. It's a great kit!

Can you use a double pedal with this set and does the sound pick up?
If you can fit two pedals so they hit the trigger as close to center as possible it'll work. If not centered properly it won't trigger The issue is how wide is your kick pad. I would say no. Take a look at the pad on the Roland V-Drums TD-1DMK as an examplesubmitted2 years ago
