Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit

MY EXPERIENCE
Using this drum set for about a month now for jamming with my band and as an intermediate drummer I am very pleased with its overall quality. The rack and pads seem durable and of good quality. In a point of time was thinking about upgrading the drum set with a dual zone ride cymbal, since I was missing the ride bell in some beats I was playing, but after a while I noticed that if you hit the existing ride cymbal a bit harder/flat, in some preset kits it gives out the ride bell sound. This was a very satisfying discovery, since playing ride bell is quite common for intermediate drummers. I don't know why it's newer mentioned.

COMPARED TO OTHER DRUMS
Prior Alesis Nitro Mesh drum set, for a short period of time I had an E-Drum set from DDrum, which didn't feel quite right. Because of that I was a bit skeptical about buying another one, therefore was doing plenty of research until finally landing on Alesis Nitro Mesh kit, and if I would have to compare those two - it is like day to night, with all the good sounding preset kits, extremely quiet mesh heads and I can't describe how much I like the dual zone snare! I also enjoy the play along tracks in the module, they are very decent as well.

SOME CONS AND AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
The only thing I don't like in terms of built quality is the Velcro strip glued on the bottom of the kick drum, which does not seem to hold the kick drum in place. I am thinking about making my own mounting from Velcro which will wrap around the post of the kick drum where the original Velcro was glued to.

I like the metronome feature which tells you whether you play slow / good (in time) / fast, but I think it would be even more valuable if it would give feedback in terms of percentage during particular session so you could follow your progress from session to session.

SHIPPING
The delivery was unexpectedly fast. From Germany to Latvia, it came within a week after I made the purchase. Tracking number provided.

Overall - a great drum kit even for intermediate drummers! Highly recommend.

I have bought this kit as an alternative for the Tama classic drum set wich are too noisy in my rehearsal room.Spending some money for noise isolator blocking walls I considered that would be more expensive than buying another electronic kit...so I have bought this one after long searches and comparing trough different models, and I think I made the best choice .
Pros : You can setup each element of the drum to sound like you want (volume, pitch, pan,reverb, eq).
You can assign and change in between each element from all the preset kits and voices you have inside (for ex: you can put the snare from kit 1, the hi-hat from kit 12, the crash fom kit 3 ,etc in one user wich you can save)
You can make for example the tom1 to sound like the ride,or assign any other sounds you have inside ,on each element of the drums.
The kick drum pedal feels like real one ,it is not an electric contact like on other electronic drums.
You have the rim on the snare drum too wich you can assign as you wish.
You can put the pedal of your hi-hat in any comfortable position for your foot.
You can stop the crash sound with the hand.
You can add 2 more extra trigger elements on yoir kit You have 2 extra inputs.
Cons: The stand rack is a little bit too small in my opinion.They could make it a little bit higher or adjustable in height and maybe 10-20 cm wider.It looks like a kids drum rack kit.
The processor position of the kit stands somewhere behind the hi-hat (due to the small sizes of the bars of the rack). They could add at least 15-20 cm at each thick bar of the stand.

Conclusion: for the money you pay for it you have a very nice and versatile drum kit. I recommend it !

Ive been playing a year now and all my stuff traditionally comes from Thomann.
This kit is awesome fun and a real boon to budding drummers and studio owners. My pals who run a pro studio have a Nitro Mesh now and although there are a few limitations the studio can get the best sounds anyway. Its a great input device at this price point.
Its a shame its chinese.
The ability to play along with some tracks while muting the drum track is great and the editable kits will give you something approximating closely your dream sound.
I had one glitch upon setup where cymbals were randomly playing. Id put the hihat cymbal mistakenly in the crash and after a reboot the problem hasnt returned.
I think it is a great purchase.
