Alesis Nitro Max Kit Electric Drum Set with Quiet Mesh Pads, 10" Dual-Zone Snare, Bluetooth, 440+ Authentic Sounds, Drumeo, USB MIDI, Kick Pedal

When I bought this, I had my doubts, I mean it is pricy. But all of that went away when I played it. This thing is a blast, it is awesome and really great, you get a lot of bang for your buck. I have had no issues with it, though you will need a 35mm audio jack to play with it and probably an adapter ( 2 male 35mm stereo jacks to 1 female) but other than that it is awesome. It functions great, the sounds are really great, The brain is a bit confusing, but overall it is a great starting place to any drummer NOTE: No matter what any advertising says, IT IS NOT QUIET! it is a lot quieter than real drums, but you are still hitting drums at full force, it is decently loud, loud enough people can hear me play through 2 pairs of walls

Short Story For the money, this is a solid choice, but spend a little more to buy a snare stand. For this 5'11" 200lb guy, this is always going to feel small and cramped. The addition of a snare stand and tweaking the layout makes it workable. Long Story I started playing drums about 14 years ago on an acoustic kit and never really got beyond beginner stage - one bad teacher sent me off on an "I'll learn on my own" path that amounted to about what you would expect. I sold the kit when I moved into my last house and didn't have a good place to play that wouldn't bother my neighbors. Ever since, I've always wanted to get back into it. I've looked at the electronic kits through the years and never pulled the trigger (no pun intended - sorta) because I knew it was a compromise from what I had before. And let's be honest, this Alesis kit IS a compromise. I have a small house with hardwood floors and close neighbors so an acoustic set is not in my future. I knew an e-kit was my only choice and I'm somewhat frugal so the Nitro Max ultimately won out over a number of other brands (Fesley, Simmons, Donner). As others have stated, the assembly instructions are awful - black and white illustrations of black hardware is worthless although you can mostly figure it out. What threw me was the clamps that slide into a grooved channel and it's not immediately obvious they rotate 360 degrees by turning them somewhat forcefully. Once assembled, I kept moving the snare this way and that, raising and lowering, trying to find a comfortable playing position. A quick search and I found this to be a common complaint. The solution was a cheap snare stand that could accommodate 10-14" snares (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085HLRMCY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title). That has made a huge difference. Not only does this let me raise the snare up to a comfortable height, but I can move it around the kit. Finally, it helps to reduce the wobble in the kit (more on this later). UPDATE: I play pretty hard and typically bury the beater. As I began playing more, the kick pad just kept walking away from me - to the point that I would have to drag it back mid-song. I bought a neoprene pad to put underneath in hopes of giving it more to dig into but it didn't work. Suddenly it dawned on me the unused snare bracket could be used to stop the kick - note the second pic. While this definitely contributes to a much more wobbly kit, it's better than the alternative. I also ended up swapping the positions for the snare and module which let me open up my playing position even more. This set will always feel a little cramped, but you can tweak things enough to where it's an okay compromise. Let's talk about the rack. The tighter "footprint" the more stable the rack will be. I could bring the side legs in tighter and increase the stability of the rack, but it would be too small to play comfortably. This would work well for kids, but not this old guy. Playing the kit, it wobbles - not a lot and doesn't impact my playing, but it's there. Finally, once you've added toms, snares, and cables, this isn't collapsing into a compact little unit that is easily stowed. The kick pad isn't bad, but the hard rubber bounces far more than a regular kick drum so I've really had to be mindful of my strikes to avoid double beats. Theoretically I can add a double kick to the setup but need to find a pedal with beaters that are close together to hit the small Alesis pad. I don't like the hi-hat pedal. Its spring is soft and you have to be mindful of foot pressure to trigger effectively. Its design forces me to put my whole foot on top of the pedal rather than using my toes or ball of my foot. That will take me a while to get used to. As for the module and the pre-programmed kits, the module does the job and while you can get by with the basics included in the quick start guide, you should really download the full manual. I found I needed to adjust the sensitivity of the different drums as the toms were far too sensitive and the snare not enough. I don't love any of the pre-programmed kits - they all sound fairly electronic-y - but that a minor nit. I do love the bluetooth feature and the various utilities to help me develop good habits. This wasn't a love at first sight or play for me. For the first day or two, I was certain I was returning it. Once I got it to work for my needs, I feel pretty good about the purchase. Had I spent twice as much on the Fesley, would I have gotten a much better kit but twice the set? Probably not. This is a good value and a good start or restart as it were.

Style: Nitro Max Drum Set This is a great beginner's electric drum set. For parents who'd usually relegate their aspiring drummer to the basement or garage, this little set can actually fit easily in a bedroom or living room space. Your kid can put on the phones and you'll hear pretty much nothing, just some light tapping sounds. Without the phones, the sound quality is pretty good and the volume is adjustable. The built in blue tooth and metronome are a big plus. It's also really lightweight so you can move it around easily. The cymbals could be better, but overall a great value for the price. Btw, it doesn't come with a drum throne, so you'll need to get one. However, for aspiring professional or semi-professional drummers, this set is definitely not going to give you the full range of sound or the tactile feel of acoustic drums. It's not going to respond to your touch and you're not going to feel the sound vibrations through your sticks or pedals. There's really no room for nuanced playing and it lacks the ability to give you any real sound dynamics. So, if that's what you're aiming for or graduating to, this is probably not the best set for you.

Excelente produto ... recomendo

Ürün sıkıntılı çıktı. Kulaklık taktığımızda ses gelmiyor bazen kulaklığın tek tarafından geliyor bazen hiç gelmiyor. Temassızlık var sanırım. Denediğimiz çoğu kulaklıkta aynı sorunu veriyor. Aldığımızdan bu yana hiç kullanmadık. Durumla ilgili mail de attık dönüş sağlanmadı.

Je suis un débutant et je trouve le kit très bon rapport qualité prix. Points forts : facile à monter, bon son et bonne responsivité, bon prix Points faible : le rack bouge un peu (utiliser un trépied pour caisse claire améliore grandement le problème), la pédale de grosse caisse ne se règle pas en angle, la pédale de charleston n'est pas assez sensible, pad de grosse caisse un tout petit peu petit pour certaine double pédales.

Very good

Loving this drum kit. I’m new to drumming, and learning on this has been a game changer. The module has Bluetooth, many built in drum kits and you also get 3 months of drumeo for free. One minor complaint I have is that it’s a little too short for me, I wish I could raise the entire kit just a touch higher. But other than that, I think this is a very solid buy for anyone looking for an E-Drum kit.
