The tones from this kit are burned into my forever memory, that hi hat in particular instantly brought me back to my old live recordings. It’s a decent little kit!
I have always been a faithful player of acoustic drum… always considered the electronic drum as an inferior expression of drumming but I am reconsidering my views. This sound great.
For the pedal on this drum kit, you need to choose a double pedal well, because most likely it will not fit. The bass drum pad is very small. As an example, I have Mapex P500TW double pedal and it fit.
I had a pdp p2000 running on it, and it was horrible.. the pedal was great but it of course didn’t fit. I was only grabbing the sensor with 1 pedal, and the other was essentially grabbing plastic “rim shots” of the bass drum. Needless to say, it wasn’t fun trying to learn my double pedal on that.
Bro.. can u please tell how do you record the sound with video .. also how i can play with song and record too.. make a video on it .. You earned a new subscriber from india ..💫
Bro, unfortunately I won't be able to write a tutorial because I've already sold this drum set, but I'll try to explain, although I've already answered many similar comments. Let's start with the fact that you need a sound card with at least 1 output and 1 input. I connect the output signal (music) from the computer to the input on the drum kit (now if I connect headphones to the drum kit on the left side of the control unit, I will hear both the sound of the drum kit and the music coming from the computer) Next, through the cable (2 jacks per minijack), I connect the output signal from the drums to the input signal of the sound card connector, thereby using the Audacity program I can record the sound of the drum kit + music playing on the computer. I hope you understood something)
Great video! I have a question, what earbuds are you wearing in this video? I’m wondering because when i wear over ear headphones for drums my ears tend to hurt.
I have the same kit and was wondering how you filmed the sound so perfectly, im trying to film it but can’t figure out how without the special equipment like a DAW. Sounds great.
Hello, I just took the sound from the headphone output, connected the mini-jack cable to an external usb sound card, recorded the sound through the Audacity program)
Hi bud really thinking about getting it. What programme would you recommend for for pc / mac preferably for free ? Cheers. Also does it feel sturdy ? I worry that the cheaper brands just feel like they're on the verge of collapsing 😊
Hi friend) I use Audacity sound recording program, it is free, there is also Reaper, you can use the free version. But if you want to record a midi signal, you will have to download or buy Fl studio or Cubase (plus find a virtual drum machine, Ezdrummer, or others). At the expense of the quality of the Alesis drum set, it is very high-quality for its money, I definitely recommend it)
I use a laptop with OS Windows, a USB sound card and insert a cable from the output on the drum heads into it. I use the Audacity program for recording
Huhh, to be honest, I like fusion and light music and stands far of those non-dynamic look a likes.....but the sound of this kit sounds o.k., thx for your vid!
It was these drums that I recorded through the output connector, connected to the sound card and used the Audacity program. But if you want to record a midi signal and then add better custom sounds, then use a USB cable and the Reaper program or another with VST tools
Thanks for the video!! Quick question, when I save a new sound (for example an edit to my snare drum). If I unplug the drum set, will I lose the new sound I saved? Does the Alesis Nitro dm7x have an internal battery that maintains newly saved info when it's unplugged? Or will it go back to the factory default? Thanks much!
Hi, I don't know about the Alesis Nitro dm7x, because it's an Alesis Nitro Mesh model. My drum kit retains sound settings when I unplug the power. There is no battery here)
Hello, I use a Windows laptop, I connect a USB sound card to it (the cheapest Dynamode 3D Sound 5.1), I insert a minijack into it, which comes from the headphone output connector on the drum control module. I record the sound using the Audacity program
@@VladyslavTykhonov new nitro mesh kit owner here, have you had issues with the double kick pedal on that pad? I seem to already have issues with every hit landing on a single bass drum kick so I was worried if getting the double pedal or if I need to get a new and bigger pad to use it ? That’d be extra expensive though so hoping just a new double bass works haha. Thanks!
@@freycurtis93 Not every double pedal will fit this bass drum pad, Mapex P500TW worked for me, but to not bother, it's probably better to buy a bigger bass pad
Great video, been following palantir and it is very useful to hear your thoughts on this stock. Would love to hear when the scanner is available. I cannot find the Facebook group so you have a direct link? Thank you!! Eduardo
Wait… you can use a double kick on the nitro mesh and max?? Everything that I’ve been reading was about how it didn’t register it properly and would skip beats. Whats the model of the pedal you’re running?
@@UnfortunateDrummer I use Audacity for recording. I simply record an analog signal from the brains of the drums through a mini-jack cord connected to a USB sound card
hello, for recording I use a USB sound card, into which I insert a minijack cable to 2 jacks that are inserted into the output on the brains of the drums
hey i just got this kit as my first and have a double kick pedal that seems it wont pick up much sound unless a single beater hits directly centre perfectly, is this just an issue with this kick tower? and if so is there any good alternatives i could look into to add to this brain?
Hi, I think you can connect any bass drum pad to these brains. But before that, try to center the pedal beaters on the pad, and add sensitivity to the bass pad in the settings)
Hello, I use a usb cable for a midi signal, or if I just need to record sound, then a cable from two jacks to a minijack, which I connect to the output on the drum heads and to the input of the sound card
Not easy to do them double kicks on an alesis nitro set. How did you get it to register all your kicks. Mine seems to skip sometimes. I ended up getting a while new kick tower.
The main thing is to choose a double pedal so that the beaters beat more or less in the center of the bass pad. I have a Mapex P500TW double pedal and it fits true to size. Oh, and I added the sensitivity of the bass pad in the settings of the drum heads
Привіт. Звук я записую через ноутбук, програмою Audacity. Для цоього треба підключити ударну установку до ноутбука через USB. Там же і накидую звук на відзняте відео)
@@VladyslavTykhonov привет, у меня есть вопрос один. У тебя юсб провод был в комплекте с барабанами? Просто я купил такую установку и у меня в комплекте не было провода
Hello, I think it is not very convenient when the hi-hat pedal serves as a second bass drum pedal. I just installed a mapex p500tw double pedal on a standard bass drum pad and turned up the sensitivities in the settings) And it worked) the only thing is that if you choose a double pedal, make sure that it fits the width of the bass pad
If you have a small budget, take a look at the Alesis Nitro Max, or the Millenium mps-850, if money is not a problem, then without thinking about it, buy a drum kit from Roland from the middle segment, for example TD-07KX
how do you get the audio to go to your phone? I just bought this drum set but I can't figure out how to record the audio into my iPhone or MacBook Pro laptop.
Hello, you need an external sound card - if you want to record the sound coming from the drums, and a program for recording on a macbook. Or you can record a Midi signal simply through a USB connection, for this you will need a program, for example (Reaper, Cubase) and a VST plugin for drums (EZdrummer, SSD 5.5)
@@VladyslavTykhonov Thank you. I'm trying to record the drums and a clarinet. I'm using a tablet for the instrumental and MacBook Pro to record. I tried Audacity but nothing is coming out.
Hi there. I used the standard sounds of this drum kit. But there is an opportunity to add others. This can be done through FL Studio and the EZdrummer plugin.
hey man quick question how did you get the double kick to work on this kit. ive tried everything and I still have issues with the trigger being activated by the kicks
Hello, I just found a double pedal that was suitable in size so that the beaters hit more or less in the center, and also added sensuality to the trigger of the bass pad. And in general, it is very difficult on Nitro models with double pedals
I glued a wooden block to the floor in front of the bass pedal tower. Everything stands firmly) you can see it in my video - ru-vid.comkX3mGFRGdhY?feature=share
@@Ayushdrums unfortunately, I won't be able to anymore, because I sold this electronic drum kit and bought acoustic drums, there are no problems with this). All I can do to help is that I glued the wooden block with silicone sealant to the ceramic tile on the floor (silicone is the only thing that holds it well), and then I screwed 2 self-tapping screws into this wooden block, and attached it to the he tower bass drum. But the whole point is to rest the bass drum tower on something)
@@VladyslavTykhonov Ok Thanks For Telling Me But Do U Think U Could Do That For The Second Crash With The Expansion? And Could U Possibly Make A Video Teaching People How To Do It?
@@bdkevekebnrknfbckaksb Unfortunately, I won't be able to record the video anymore, because I sold these drums, but everything is simple there: you hit the cymbal you want to change, then press the voice button, and use the arrows to select the sound you need
As a drummer who soley played acoustic drum kits, & took a hiatus from it to focus on learning other instruments as well, I wanna get back into drumming, but can't decide what to get. Even though I have the space & the ability to set up a new acoustic one in an old shed, I kinda would like to try an electronic kit, mainly so I could instantly & conveniently program drums for guitar parts I've written. And I feel like buying all these mics for an acoustic set would cost a fortune ontop of a already expensive Tama kit. My main concern is the lack of rebound & similar dynamic & feel cheap E kits are notorious for. Qland while this looks just like a Rockband esque toy, the sound is superb & it seems like it can be played smoothly. May I ask what type you're using? And can you maybe share a few tips or pros & cons of having an electric drum kit? And at what price range should I buy one, not to be disappointed? Also I never knew you could use a double bass pedal on an E drun kit. Wow Thanks in advance & have a great day
Hello, you just wrote a whole story) Let's start with the advantages of an electronic drum kit over an acoustic one - it's a very convenient and flexible sound recording, working with a midi signal, you can do whatever you want with the sounds. The second is compactness, and they do not need to be adjusted every time you transport them from place to place. The third is the price, because it is very expensive to assemble a normal drum kit + cymbals + microphones. If you don't want to throw away a lot of money, take a closer look at the Millenium mps-850 drum kit, probably better than your money (up to $1000), well, we have it in Ukraine. Good day)
I recorded sound using an external USB sound card, into which I connected the cable from the sound output on the control module. I used the Audacity program for recording
It sounds like all mesh drums, quieter than rubber pads, but if you listen to your vessels, they will definitely hear you, but the most audible vibration is from the bass drum pedal
