When you play e drums, and then switching to an acoustic one, the moment of truth comes. Real drums are for the real world. Believe me, I know it well, as no one else.It’s pretty much depends on what music we play. If you’re more like a jazz musician, edrums are not for you. I have them only for practicing. They can’t replace conventional drum kit by all means, and they never will... though… I like this strata module.

@marvinhanson9391

I think electric kits on stage lose the presence of the sound as its just coming through the pa with everything else, I think you can really feel the air move through the drums when you're in a room with them and I think that makes them acoustically pretty different that speakers alone wouldn't recreate. On the other hand I think hybrid setups are great live, those pads have got to be better than neil peart's e kit ! They've gotten drastically so much better and I'd want to have a hybrid setup with some of these, perfect sound

Just got one of these. It's awesome. Things I wish I knew: - hit hat stand not included - bass drum pedal not included - currently no way to directly connect your phone via bluetooth to play along to backing tracks (lots of ways around this) Super cool kit though, I love all the different playable zones. Also, sidestick works fine, just cant hit the snare head with your fingers or else youll hear the snare sound. Pretty easy to account for though, in my opinion

the Mangini kit soundeed NOOOICEE

Got mine yesterday. Putting it together over the weekend 🤘🤘🤘

Alesis's previous kits were already pretty solid, and Roland's were just easy, but Alesis really upped their game with this kit. I really like that the different pad sizes also resonate differently. I'm guessing that was an intended feature that they engineered in, and not just a happy coincidence.

After looking at a few reviews... it looks like Alesis did something really really good. And with you playing, I notice even more the different hit sounds... too bad I already spent money on a different kit. LOL Thanks for this review buddy!

I was in the market for a Roland vad307 right when they announced this kit. Went with the strata prime the next day. I’ve used it live twice at my church already and this thing had been worth every penny! I think my favorite part of the kit is the way they recorded the drums/ the responsiveness. They didn’t take a drum hit and turn up the volume when you hit harder. They actually recorded the drum being hit harder! So you really get that nice crack out of the snare and toms! Also as a nice treat, they actually have cymbal stacks! I’ve been waiting for a vst to do this for a while, and now have it in a kit I use live!

This is the best demo I have seen for this kit so far. Ease of use is great. Thanks always for the great content.
