Alesis Nitro MAX - Three months later, should you be worried about these problems? 

Hey all, on watching this back I realise I talk about having Bluetooth or wireless functionality to connect to headphones or speakers, the reality of that would be pretty terrible as there would be a delay from hitting the pad to hearing the sounds, so it’s not really practical. A guy can dream though. 😅🤘🏻

I just ordered a Nitro Max kit, and I will try using a snare stand for the snare... glad I kept my snare and stand when I sold the rest of the kit!

I've had no issues with the snare, but I've noticed that some people set the kit up incorrectly by having the top toms L brackets on the inside of the rack instead of the outside. That means that the toms are closer to you, and then you have to move the snare too far along the horizontal cross piece towards you, and that's probably where the issue starts. Also if you're a hard hitter with heavy sticks that ain't gonna help either. I agree with you, students WACK drums and then you have problems, I've had no issues with my Max and it's been 3 months.

I’ve been playing for 30 years, just bought one of these kits for the sake of space saving and noise reduction so the issues with the pedal/snare stand won’t effect me as I already have my own stand/pedal that I can use and well happy that I caught your video so I can avoid the snare issue from the start!

I put the snare where the module is usually mounted so it is sturdier having two leg support, it also mounts it higher since I'm tall. I then mounted the module on the arm meant for the snare and swung it outside the kit. It's a little harder to reach and see, but it's working out way better this way.

Thank you for this. I've had the kit a week and I love it ...but I've already noticed a few issues. It could be my headphones, but I've noticed some of the sounds echo regardless of whether I change the reverb or not. The HH splash also isn't as intuitive as I thought it would be compared to an acoustic kit, which is obv instant.

I bought myself a snare stand 10-15 inch one. Works perfect. Was an issue when it was on the frame playing heavy stuff and getting into it

Thanks for your vids! I already buy myself nitro max and it's pretty nice for my first e-drum kit. Right now I think about upgrade kit with fourth cymbal. Does this kit will work with three triggered cymbal from another manufacturer?

6 months later still going strong.

Hi, is it possible to tilt forward the snare and toms a little bit or are the connections rigid with no ability to tilt them forward like an acoustic set can? They look awkwardly flat . Thanks

Great follow up. On a real drum kit it's obvious when you're hitting rather than playing an instrument. On a real kit the people you play with will let you know when you're too loud.

Good video!

i like it. THe expansion-Kit just arrived today. I have some problems to connect it to my DAW, but maybe it's just a problem iwth the old USB-Cable. The new one also arrived today. I'll tet it tomorrow. For myself, i did not found a comfotable position for the sanre yet. Straight in front or to the left? I dont know. Thank you for your videos. It helped me for my decission to buy it and also to build it up.

What you think about the titan 50 vs this?

can i use my goxlr or my scarlett 3rd gen solo to record this kit? also what kind of wire should I need to connect it

Hey really love your channel ur videos are very helpful. I have a question though I'm not sure if you could help but I'm thinking of getting an e kit and I'm a beginner. I'm torn between getting the alesis nitro max or the millenium MPS-450. Ik there are mixed reviews about the alesis but it seems really good. Idk much about the millenium so I'm wondering if you could help and tell me which is the best to get . Thank you

Hi, is this Kick Pad compatible with the Tama Speed Cobra?

Hey! Great review! I'm thinking about buying this kit. Do you know if I can connect it to Ableton Live for recording? Thanks!

I am determined to buy one these. Because of the enourmous tax and the economic crisis in my country this kit is worth 2 months of national minimum wage salary, so I want to do my research properly before I invest. I live in an apartmant building so the kit being quiet is very important to me. Do you think that this kit is quiter than most or got any tips so I can reduce the noise a bit ? Thank you.

i have a question. there is a bell sound feature on the ride that im hitting by chance. though it doesnt say in the manual on how to trigger it. any knows about it ?

Can you do a tutorial on how to set the best settings for the module? Like how do I activate the bell from the ride?

Hey bro does your bluetooth have light? Mine doesn’t light up even if I am using the bluetooth already, is that normal? Or should I return the module kit?

That thumbnail though

Is there any backwards compatibility parts with the nitro mesh. As the snare would be a good upgrade size wize. I'm guessing the model is in no way compatible.

Hate how the pedals move all over even with a rug. Had to buy velcro strips. And the snare arm sucks. Went and bought a snare stand the same day cause it kept getting loose.

Bro, can we add one cymbal on this?

Any tips on how to get it to work? I've had to return two because no sound comes out. Very frustrating.

The module is a major upgrade. The rack is weak and flimsy. Cymbals are sub-par. The new pads are great. Overall, a decent entry level e-kit.

I'm looking to add another kick for double bass.. which add on kick pedal would you recommend? Thank you

After 3 days of using it, the bluetooth light won't turn on anymore 😂 I reported the issue through their support, but I was pointed out to go back where I bought the kit as they do not provide fix/support outside NORAM.😂

Can we record audio from it

Can set up for left hand?

aww man, I just bought a second hand Nitro Mesh kit for $330 only to find out that I could've bought the Nitro Max new for a little under $500. Welp.

Friends, someone has the problem that with headphones they sound very quiet. I tried 3 headphones and it sounds very quiet.

Don't abuse the kit.....no problems.

Mine fell apart absolute piece of garbage. my band is a nirvana cover band and this kit did not last long do notttt buy this kit if you are a heavy hitter or can't handle disappointment waste of money and the quality of the kit is awful
