Customer Reviews

What you get is worth the money
This drum kit is worth buying rather than the cheaper DM5 standard, as the pads are better feeling and look better too.
It has a lot of voices built in, all sounding great too. However, most are snare and tom sounds that sound similar, and there is little in the way of hi hat variation.
The cymbal pads are not great, and do not respond at all like real cymbals. Also, it may be that I havent set it up quite right, but the hi hat sounds cut out often, which is slightly distracting.
Overall I give it 4 out of 5 stars as it is better than the cheaper alternatives, yet not as good as the roland or yamaha models you can get for twice the price.

The sounds are genuinely good though, I feel I must reiterate that.

Great piece of kit
I have been playing acoustic drums for about 8 years. I purchased this kit and was very pleased! The sounds are excellent and the feel of the kit is, again, excellent. The snare drum is dual zone and so does come with a trigger for rim shots. For the price, you won't be disappointed!

Great kit for a project studio
I beg to differ with the first reviewer in this section, but there is a trigger for rim shots on the snare in the DM5 pro kit, which makes this kit all the better value for money. There are loads more sounds available than those in the 21 pre set kits, all you need to do is select, personalize and save the pieces as required. I have bought my Alesis for my home recording studio to program midi drum tracks to trigger my software drums such as BFD2 and EZ Drummer. On setting up the kit however, some of the on board samples in the DM5 pro module are so good that I will now consider using them. The surfaces are responsive enough to appeal to experienced drummers, albeit nothing can replace the real thing, and drum head tension can be adjusted to suit your individual playing style. Great value for money set up.
