Is this the BEST Electronic Drum Kit of the Year? Alesis Strata Prime! | Gear4music Drums 

Looking forward to trying one of these out at the uk drum show, that module looks insane

This is a banger of a kit.

I'm curious about what Alesis can do with the entry level drum kits, using the same engine sound of this new module. I'm very happy with my Roland TD-17KV. Now, I have 100 different drum kits in the module. Congrats Alesis for this new complete drum set and the module.

Very cool, just waiting on reviews and comparisons to Roland kits.

Can U add Passive/Active Speakers to this kit?? I don't want just headphones!! Also how do U get rid of the stick marks on the cymbals?? Don't like that, l like everything looking New an Clean!! Also is it possible to add another tom + cymbals?? Just 1 more Tom would be Wicked!! Really like this kit, a great practise kit for the house. Thanks Alesis a Great Product!! If U can answer my questions ld be Stoked!! Thanks Aussie Skot. 🥁🤘😆🤘🥁

Ok that module could be future of e kits. Its basically an Ipad running a vst of premium BFD drum sounds + Also all the different parameters to dial in your sound on a touch screen looks way easier then other modules.

Very cool kit.

Can I upgrade my existing Alesis modal. Looks all the same and sound way better....

Very cool to see Alesis getting into this space. I will say, however, that I think the Yamah DTX Pro modules undoubtedly sound better than what I've heard so far of this, and the Pearl Mimic Pro is way above it. I also don't like how thick the cymbals look and that the hi-hat doesn't get more immoveable when you press down on the pedal. Finally, I don't like how long it takes to boot and load up.

Sitting here with my Roland 506 with my black and white screen and 2 zone cymbals 😂. I know there is more to it than that, like durability, triggering, etc, but still.. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the rack, but I would ditch that and get individual stands to take care of that.

Se pude samplear baterías acustiticas. como me parece que se podía hacer con la estike

Can you get 3rd and 4th cymbal here? like china + splash?

Still happy with my Roland VAD506 however the module on this is cool. It’s way too big for my room though.

Will there be 'premium' sample libraries you can add to this - 40 gig for all those sounds seems a bit light to me...

So far yes but it's only March. I love watching a used car salesman at work 🤣

This is the kit I gawk over, not even roland's kit or Zildjian's new kit looks nearly as good as these. If you could pair the Zildjian electronic symbols with this kit it would be gg. I haven't gotten an opportunity to play this kit, or the Zildjian one but I know they're both amazing, but the Alesis kit is eye candy and probably plays like it too.

Love the kit, but I need eight individual out instead of downgrading to four and I need another cymbal instead of taking it away and I need deeper shells to at least halfway look like an acoustic set, other than the kick. Thank you alesis.

I currently own a Roland TD30 that is getting old and that I'm considering to replace. After watching a lot of demos and reviews, the Alesis Strata Prime appeared quite promising to me. The only downside (which is a complete show stopper for me) is the limited number of output on the module. That is really a problem for live performance because 6 outputs are definitely not enough to give full mix control to a sound technician. That is too bad because I loved everything else from this kit... starting from the huge touch control display, to the reasonable available memory size, without forgetting the astonishing look of that kit. This must be part of the reason why this kit is far less expensive than the high end Roland V-Drums (it has the same price as what I paid for the TD-30 a decade ago).

Can you side stick with it ?

To make sense alesis should have kept the SE model shells but update to the new computer and the newer rack but the hi-hat deal may should have kept the system that is offer with the SE model

BFD … is that the big fukin deal ?

Can you assign a cowbell to anything?

way too early to tell, endurance and not breaking is important too.

This is most definitely the best E-Kit yet.

I tried this instore today, it was incredible. I used to own a gen 1 Strike Pro, and td50kv. This is head and shoulders superior to any edrum I've played. The hardware is robust and solid conpared to the Strike, the cymbals trigger like Roland's digital ride except all of the crashes are incredible. The toms have beautiful dynamic range in the samples. The sounds are bloody beautiful, there's no percieved latency unlike the Strike Pro. £3,000 is a lot until you compare it to the competition. Unfortunately I cant afford one yet, but I personally think the price is a steal for what you get. The only downside is the lack of automatic cross stick detection such as Rolands digital snare. But I don't even care, because the rest was just THAT good.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥁🥁🥁🎧🎼✊🏻

JAMIE IS A LEGEND 🎉

This mudule has to be the first ''smart'' module.

Pretty cool for a studio, but I wouldn't trust it live. In other reviews, the computer lags.

thats a sexy kit

He didn't talk about the backing track feature. Actually nobody is talking about it.

The hi-hat is better but still not able to catch up to fast pedal close and releases.

no Bluetooth audio in a flagship model? 😮

This drum kit is way too expensive in Australia, price is $6ooo AUD, I can buy a second hand Roland TD50 K for that money. Sorry Alesis

Lack of direct outs and back to pads instead of shells is a big let down for such a flagship model. Alesis have missed out on so many buyers because if this.

Ok, after watching some legit reviews elsewhere. Props for the software design, but the module clearly has a cheap processor based on serious lags loading kits. Even when the kit loads, some of the components take awhile to catch-up with the rest of kit (See 65 Drums review). No biggie if you're not playing a live gig. Otherwise your band mate's might go on a cigarette break while your kit loads. I know this salesman is excited about 128GB, but a 256GB NVME 3500 mb/s goes for under $17 bucks. 512's run about $35 US. You know why he's excited about 128GB ? One word. Yamaha ! 🤣 Things we noticed, 2 less inputs & one less crash cymbal than the Strike SE (But lets jack up the price by a $1000 US... Go Alesis, you guys are my heroes).So this came out priced as the same as the Roland TD27KV2. (What a relief for Roland ! ) No digital snare, therefore no positional sensing. Hi-hat tends to wobble and guys at DCP noticed crosstalk leaking from Pads to Cymbals. Neither Hi-hat nor Cymbal's are digital. Trust me its not that simple for Alesis to just create a digital hi-hat, Roland's got the patents and Alesis already got whacked in court for the mesh head thingy with Roland. If you're a thumper like this guy doing the demo, no big deal. But you want dynamics/articulation. Either get an acoustic or go Roland or EF Note. Oh yeah, its not wireless either. But Gear4Music thinks its the Kit of the year. Hey they get excited about 128GB Hard drives in the year 2024.... Yay ! Cool upload guys. Thanks . It was fun , Luv your channel 😂🤣😂

@3:51. That's simply FALSE. Alesis isn't the first company to use a magnetic hi hat sensor. the 2Box Drumit used one over 14 years ago. Well before that, so did the Ddrum 4. No one has used one recently, but Alesis is not first. That's for sure!

Great module but the rest of the is still poor quality go watch Portsmouths review of this kit a true delve and honest review.

WHY oh Why Alesis you DOWNGRADED to ONLY 4 independent Outputs from your 8 on the SE!!!! You Totally Destroyed what could have been a true flagship!😢😢😢

Not really so advanced. They did not provide for simultaneous multitrack recording of the individual drum channels. This is a big let down. The only way to mutitrack is through the use of MIDI and then assign samples, but you can do that with any module so this is not at all unique. I'll stick with my Roland set.

Great for the money but no Roland’s

Next click bait video: Is this the BEST Electronic Drum Kit of the Year? Zildjian ALCHEM-E! | Gear4music Drums

The title of the video makes me skip the entire video. What can you expect from a review that seems to think that 19 March is the end of the calendar year? 😂 So the Strata may be the BEST kit of 19 March, simply because no other kits were introduced on that date, but that’s about it.

If Roland made this it would be $13000😂

The best?😒😒🤔🤔🤦🏼‍♂️ I don't think so and it costs too much for what it is🙈🙈🙈

The cymbals sound awful

Heard this kit On another site.... Cymbals sound like garbage.
