On watching this video again I've noticed I accidentally double-layered some audio between 4:15 and 4:30. What I'm saying there is that it doesn't matter if you attach the connecting pole with the connection points up or down as they can be adjusted later. Thanks!

I'm a 72 yr. old woman, Got my set up done thanks to your video. Only took me a bit more than 5 hours, but hey, I got it done.

Setting this up was a little overwhelming, I can’t imagine trying to get through it without your video! Thank you SO much for this!!

Thank you so much. Your instructions are way better than the official ones. I am a dummy drummer. My very first time buying a drum and have zero knowledge about it. I have no clue which is which but cannot find any drum anatomy or clear instructions how to plug the cord and set it up. I should have watched this video earlier. Been trying to assemble it for 3 hours. Thank you so much. I am trying to save this video but there is no option to do so.

Thank you so so much!!! you explained it really well for people like me who don't understand how anything works! awesome!

Thank you so much, Kev:) I am an absolute newbie to drums, just starting out today, and your comprehensive guidance on how to assemble Nitro Max kit helped in a massive way. The company instructions provided with the edrum kit are almost useless. Great deal of you taking so much time and explaining every tiny detail. I completed watching your whole video in about 3 hours with pauses and assembling my brand new Nitro Max edrum kit alongside you:) Now gonna play the drums:):) Huge thunbs up, mate👍

Great video and so easy to follow. How do you turn the volume up on individual drums? My snare is a lot quiter. I have tried various things i have read online but nothing seems to ne working. Thanks

I did not realize that the mounting brackets spin around (you do briefly this at 7 minutes in but I feel like this should be highlighted more). The instructions do not mention this at all. I was so confused.

Thanks bro, ur a legend

do u have a video showing how works the module of this drum ? and how to conected it on interface to gargeband?

Love the video on the max, Im thinking of getting one. I can't see anywhere online what the recommended space for the kit is, do you happen to have a guidance? I've got a small space 4 ft x 2.5/3ft max

Thanks for all the details. This filled in the gaps left by the rather sparse instructions that came with the kit.

can you do the cable splitter hack on this kit like on the nitro mesh one? like how other people expand the kit with more drums and cymbals beyond the expansion kit. thanks

I am completely new to drums and was setting this up for my 10yo and then after figuring out why there is no sound - we can only hear sound via headset or an amp which I have none of so need to go out and buy these items. It wouldn't be a problem if there was a store near me but I got this drumkit from another country and so now need to order and wait again. I wish people reviewing these electronic drums sets would emphasise on this. It would also be helpful if you could do a video on how the module works. But thanks for you video. It was your video that we finally settled on to assemble this drumkit. The cabling was very confusing for complete newbies who don't know what what is.

Thank you! This is great, the official instructions are lacking. I've been trying to get it setup properly for days and it just felt like I couldn't get it right! And then I realized that the official instructions showed to put the tom arms incorrectly on the inside of the drum rack, not on the outside like you did. That makes everything fit much better! Although, how in the world would you be able to fit another tom on the right side with the official expansion pack??

@JarlJorvik666

Yeah this got me the first time I put it together, it all seemed too crammed and I managed to suss it out in the end, also the instructions says to put the dual zone cymbal (cymbal pad P?) In place of the high-hat 🙄 you'd think a company like Alesis wouldn't have cowboy instructions...

Do you have any guides on adjusting the kick pedal or if it’s even possible? (Beater angle, spring tension)

Awesome video. Thanks for the details during assembling. Just have a question: What's the size of the biggest "leg"? I want to transport the kit unassembled inside of a travel luggage. I am wondering if I can do that. I've got the following dimensions in the alesis website: Dims (HDW): 12.12" x 21" x 36.2" / 30.78cm x 53.34cm x 91.94cm But it no seem that the height is just 12.12"/ 30.78cm.

Make sure that the cable snake/loom or whatever you want to call it isn't plugged in upside down at the bottom of the drum module. I did that by accident and initially couldn't figure out what I did wrong so I couldn't get any actual drums sounds out of the kit on my first day with it.

You mentioned the angle of the Tom’s what about the angle of the cymbals? This video very helpful thank you so much

Hi, thanks for the comment, same kind of rule, not facing you directly or completely flat, a slight tilt towards you is all that's needed. They shouldn't be too high either. Hope that helps!

I play open handed (Carter Beauford, Simon Phillips etc). Would I be able to lower the hi hat itself and / or the horizontal tube it is mounted to near to the height of the snare ?

Interesting to note that the cables all have daul zone/stereo jack plugs on them - I wonder if they're going to do a marketing ploy and re - release this exact kit with dual zone pads some time in the future?

Hi, thanks for the comment, in the previous line-up the Nitro Mesh shared the same module as the Surge Mesh, with the difference that all of the Surge Mesh pads were dual zone. My guess would be that they plan to do the same with a new Surge Mesh kit soon, using the module from the Nitro MAX.

Can someone help? Can you play the nitro max through a speaker at the same time as listening to it through headphones. The left/right output on the back of the nitro max module to a 3.5mm jack into the speaker and headphones connected to the nitro max module? It won’t work for me 😩

Hi, do you happened to know how to enter into a pairing mode for bluetooth? I got a new iPad and every time I turn on the module, it just automatically connects to other device and it is not discoverable by my new device. Thanks.

For full storage you can remove the drum pads and then the frame should fold up completely flat. Hope that helps!
