Alesis Drums Surge Mesh Kit - Electric Drum Set with Mesh Pads, 385 Electronic / Acoustic Drum Kit Sounds and 60 Play Along Tracks

I have never played a real set of drums so I cannot compare it to an acoustic kit.To set up probably took about an hour to figure it all out and then adjusting the height and position once put together.It's great fun and easy to find drum tabs to learn songs. It's worth watching some videos to learn about the unit and how to do different stuff in the kit mode or learning mode. There's also lots of song tutorials for the drums you can find that are easy to play and sound good.There's lots of pre set kits and when learning a song or beat I scroll through to find closest sound to what I want.The pads are fairly quiet but the bass pedal you can hear downstairs so I added some foam boards under the pedal to drown out the noise.Really happy with the kit and lots to play around with to improve your playing and to find the sound your after.

Fantastic kit for the money. Great sounds ,easy to set up.

First time I ever tried an electronic drum kit. I was not sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. Quality is really good the mesh heads are pretty good at replicating the real thing but with them being relatively small you need to be a really good shot so as not to keep hitting the rims. Plenty of sound choices to play with. The only real criticism is the volume through headphones is quite low. Brilliant for practise but will never replace the real thing.

This kit was recommended for our church and so far, it’s so very good. Multiple kits to choose from, sleek design, it makes the church look modern; very easy to assemble.You can connect it to the mixer and EQ it from there and there is a controller on the kit where you can make your own adjustments.We haven’t had it very long but we are very pleased with it.

My husband has wanted an electronic drum kit for well over a decade because it is extremely anti-social to practice with his hand made acoustic kit in a residential area.He set it up to test it the day it arrived . I haven't seen such a boyish grin on his face for a very long time.I think for the money it is well worth eveery penny.He ran through some of the programs -he had a great deal of fun with number 17 (Bongos)- and he really likes the versatility of the setings. It's now been packed away again until Christmas so I might get back to you when he's had more experience with it. So far so good!! :-)

Bought for son to replace previous set that were pads rather than mesh. Much more responsive and a better sound. Great piece of kit.

This kit produces a great sound, the mesh pads are very responsive, and best of all it's quiet. Even the kick tower only produces a dull thunk sound, which the neighbours won't notice.I deliberated between the Surge and Nitro kits, and I'm so glad I opted for the Surge. The mesh kick tower is quieter than I imagine the rubber kick tower on the Nitro would be, and the adjustable frame is good for saving space. As I may be moving from place to place in future, a kit that's easy to assemble and adjustable is precisely what I needed.Ordinary headphones can be plugged into the headphone jack; they don't have to be fancy. You can also plug your phone into the drum module and play along to tracks.My one concern was dust getting into the mesh pads and affecting the sensors, but a lightweight dust sheet quickly resolved this.

Ive only had it 1 month but I am more than pleased with it. Internal sounds are a little digitally plasticy-tin-ee sounding and I mean only a little. I wouldn't use the module sounds for a professional gig, however amazing for practicing on just hope it lasts!!

This is my daughter's 1st drum set. So, we aren't experienced in other brands. This one had great reviews and she is happy with it so far!No issues at all and pretty easy to set up.

La batería es de excelente calidad, sus sonidos ya preinstalados son buenos y tiene gran variedad. En mi caso yo la utilizo para ensayar en mi casa y con mi banda rock con un sistema de monitoreo para todos y es simplemente genial que en el exterior no se escucha absolutamente ningún instrumento. La he utilizado en vivo y en ese aspecto si deja a desear un poco pero viéndolo de la manera de facilidad de manipulación de la batería es muy buena, es liviana y ocupa de muy poco espacio. El doble pedal lo acepta muy bien solamente es saber ponerlo ya que fácil no es, yo tengo un doble pedal yamaha flying dragón y en ocasiones si se me complica ponerlo.En conclusión puedo decir que es una excelente batería, cumple con su propósito principal, estéticamente es muy bonita y de buena calidad. Si buscas precio y calidad créeme que esto es lo que necesitas.Saludos!

I’ve wanted a kit since I was a kid & finally got this one. And I’m thrilled with it! Sound quality is excellent, & the mesh heads have a really good, responsive feel. The whole thing was reasonably easy to assemble, even for someone as inept as me.Some things to consider: 1) the sound presets that came with the kit are ok, but you can edit them somewhat to expand their range. Running the kit through software like Logic or GarageBand lets you take things further. 2) The snare is a good size, but the toms & cymbals are a bit smaller than I’d like. However, I’m adjusting to that fairly quickly. 3) The choke feature on the crash is great, although it’s a little hard for a beginner like me to find the necessary sweet spot every time. 4) The pedals are really good, very sturdy, but the spikes that provide traction will GOUGE a wooden floor. Not the fault of the kit, but worth knowing in advance. You’d do well to sit the kit or even just the pedals on a carpet or thick towel.Best thing about this excellent kit is that you can pound away as loudly (&, in my case, as badly) as you like without disturbing others, within reason. That’s perfect for shy beginners, who want the sound of quality drums but not the embarrassment of a loud kit broadcasting your mistakes.In short, I’m so very satisfied with this kit. A fair price for a well made instrument that you can expand with an extra tom and/or cymbal. Highly recommended!

Prima elettronica che compro, mi aspettavo forse qualcosa di più da alcuni suoni ma per il prezzo pagata è davvero tanta roba

so ein klasse set zum üben in den heimischen vier wänden.der aufbau klappt recht einfach und die verkabelung der einzelen toms ect. lässt sich auch zügig bewerkstelligen.wenn man dann soweit alles ausgerichtet hat, das es für den nutzer optimal erscheint, kann das trommeln auch schon starten.man sollte aber drauf achten das man das gerät auf einen dickeren teppich oder ähnliches stellt.besonders bei der bassdrum ist das nötig da das teil gerne etwas verrutscht und sich der beat ordentlich richtung boden überträgt.das drummodul hat so seine vor/- wie auch nachteile.die bzw.den vorteil sehe ich darin das man zwei weitere pad's anschließen kann.jetzt aber die nachteile: schade das diese zwei pad's nur mono angesteuert werden und somit eine chocke-funktion oder eine zweitbelegung so nicht möglich sind.weiter finde ich die auswahl an tönen soweit ok nur mit den hi-hat-klängen kann ich mich noch nicht so richtig anfreunden aber da ich das ganze via usb und einem plugin betreibe, sollte mich das nicht weiter stören.auch etwas blöd finde ich das man das modul fast kaum anderes positionieren kann, da die kabel zu den einzelnen triggern fast auf maß gefertigt sind.sprich zur hi-hat ein kurzes kabel,zur 1.tom etwas länger und so weiter.ok, da hat jemand an kabelmanagement gedacht aber nicht bedacht das nicht jeder auch sein set so stellt wie es die anleitung zeigt.naja, auch da lässt sich mit etwas bastelarbeit was ändern.im großen und ganzen bin ich jedoch sehr zufrieden und kann das set empfehlen.als kleinen tipp noch: um die zwei weiteren ports betreiben zu können, ist man nicht markengebunden.habe mir ein weiteres becken von Fame für wenig geld zugelegt und von meinem alten set (millenium) eine tom angeschlossen.funktioniert.auch habe ich die alte bassdrum dem set hinzugefügt, was ebenfalls klappt.also viel spaß!
