Alesis Nitro Mesh 8-Piece Electronic Drum Kit

The latest installment in Alesis’s value-packed Nitro series of electronic drums, the Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit, features a full set of tunable mesh drumheads to deliver a custom playing experience — a rare feat for an electric drum kit at this price point. Forty ready-made drum kits and 385 customizable drum/cymbal sounds, along with 60 play-along backing tracks and an aux input for mobile devices, make the Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit an excellent practice tool and the ultimate low-volume jamming solution. All drum stands, pedals, hardware, cables — even drumsticks — are included to have you set up and drumming in no time. Other highlights of the Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit include virtual instrument compatibility via USB and MIDI ports and a dual-zone snare pad with separate head and rim zones.

The Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit drum module offers 40 drum kits right out of the box, covering classic acoustic favorites, modern electronic beat machines, exotic percussion rigs, and more. You can also assemble your own drum kits from the 385 excellent onboard sounds. Rock out to 60 play-along tracks, plug in your phone or tablet and fire up your favorite tunes, or just build chops to the metronome. If you want to connect to your DAW or another sound module, your choice of USB or traditional MIDI I/O makes it easy to connect to your other music gear with the Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit.

The Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit’s dual-zone 8″ snare transitions naturally from standard strokes to rimshots, while its 10″ crash cymbal with onboard choke adds another vital dynamic to performances. Add to these a smooth hi-hat cymbal controller pedal, an expressive ride pad, and fast-playing toms and kick pads, and you’ll have no trouble finding your footing with the Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit.

Whether you come from a drum set or marching background, you’ll find the response you’re after in the Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit. The tunable, tightly woven mesh drumheads allow players to customize rebound and sensitivity for a custom playing response. The Alesis mesh drumheads themselves are significantly quieter than traditional drum pads, for after-hours practice that won’t bother your neighbors or loved ones.

The Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit includes all of the accessories you need, from its 4-post aluminum frame with pad mounts to its included bass drum pedal and hi-hat controller. This electronic drum kit package even comes with cable wraps, a drum key, and a pair of drumsticks.
