Alesis DM10 MKII Pro Kit - Premium Ten-Piece Electronic Drum Kit with Mesh Head and Chrome Rack

I love the quality of this electronic drumset, many kit options and you can customize a kit for your own needs. Was easy to set up , the module is pretty self explanatory, it’s nice that they have all the wires that go into the module connected in a easy organized all in one plug so your not searching for a million wires , you just got one thing to keep track of and then you feed out the wires to each drum pad. I didn’t use the bass drum pad because I got the Roland hybrid bass drum, that works well with this system. And it’s very gorgeous drumset I love it . Worth the money and I got free shipping to Alaska. Everywhere else I looked would have charged me 200$ to 800$ in shipping. Amazon is the best.

I've been playing my acoustic set for about 10 years, and after my roommate got a Roland TD-11kv, I was convinced that it was time to sell my acoustic set and get an electronic kit. When I was shopping for Roland kits new and used, I played the Alesis DM10 MK2 Studio at GC and was impressed for what it was for the price, so I gave the MK2 Pro a shot. However; its important to note the the TD-11kv and MK2 Pro are completely different kits. The Roland sounds better, but the MK2 Pro is a much bigger kit with larger pads and more drums, plus the MK2 Pro module has more features that are superior for Jam Sessions and Solo Sessions. The reason for the higher relative price on the Roland is that you do not need to adjust anything out of the box, on the Alesis, it takes about 10-20 minutes to get the kit triggers set up for your style, so if you understand how piezo triggers work, the Alesis is very easy to get up and going. Alesis has really improved their quality in the past 2 years, however I would still recommend an extended warranty. Overall if you are a drummer that likes playing a large kit but does not want to pay over 2k, the Alesis is an impressive product and a great deal.

I absolutely love this kit. I will admit it is the first set I've owned, but I've been playing here and there over the years.The pad sizes are excellent. The cymbals are responsive (the choke is a little tricky). I adjusted the settings a little, but not much adjustment was required. It took me a little while to get comfortable to hit the set about as hard as an acoustic - they can take it!I knew these weren't silent, but apparently I can't even play them with headphones while people are sleeping. Being on the 2nd floor, the kick drum can be felt around much of the house. I'm using the dw3000 double bass pedal. The whole kit is solid on regular carpet. Nothing feels cheap about this kit (except maybe the included sticks - I got some Vic Firth American Classic Extreme 5AN nylon tips instead).All of the geometries are fairly adjustable. It has been taking some time to get everything how I want it. I wanted the 2 crashes in front and ride on the far right side - it barely reaches, but is OK. I also swapped the controller and hi hat because my left tip was hitting my right hand. Much better now. I also keep fut-sing with the snare stand to fit right between the double bass pedal and my legs.Don't but the Studio version of this kit. For $200 more, you get bigger cymbals, another tom, bigger toms, a snare stand, and better drum module.I haven't had much trouble with double hits on the hi hat. The hi-hat pedal is a little slow. I tried adjusting the settings a little which helped, but still behind. I'd like to try the Pro-X hi-hat but I read it is not supported (it is a setting in the module though!).There are many different kits - Indian, African, electronica, etc. I would like some more regular kits. I tried using a few USB drives to expand the sounds, but both said were unsupported even though I formatted them to FAT32 per the instructions. I just contacted Alesis support.I'd also like if I could expand it with one more cymbal - especially if the hi hat becomes extra after getting something like the Pro-X.I use the headphones mostly with running the ipad on a music stand playing through the drum module, which works well. Also, I have a regular stereo in the room which also works well to playback (except you hear the pads more). I used these two cables to connect the module to my Denon receiver RCA inputs: 3.5 to 2 X 6.35, J&D Gold-Plated [Copper Shell] [Heavy Duty] 3.5mm 1/8" TRS Male to 2x 6.35mm 1/4" TS Male Mono Cable Splitter with Zinc Alloy Housing and Nylon Braid for iPhone, Amplifiers - 25 Feet and 3.5 mm to 2RCA Cable, J&D Gold-Plated [Copper Shell] [Heavy Duty] 3.5mm Female to 2 RCA Male Stereo Audio Adapter Cable - 25 FeetUPDATE1: My kick pad failed within the first month and I had a replacement from alesis in just 3-4 days, no quams. They also say the Pro-X hi hat is compatible- there is a setting in the utility menu to switch between. I had trouble with Ait recognizing a few different USB drive, but found a 16 GB SanDisk USB 2.0 for $7 from Amazon worked just fine. Still struggling to find kits available to download.UPDATE 2: my snare failed after a few months but they sent a replacement with no hassle. I swapped it with the 2nd floor tom while I waited.
