Alesis Surge SE Special Edition All Mesh Electronic Drum Kit

Alesis Surge

As a complete 8-piece electronic drumkit, the Alesis Surge SE Special Edition All Mesh Electronic Drum Kit is everything you need to start playing drums like a pro. The Alesis Surge includes three 8" dual-zone mesh tom pads, a 10" dual-zone snare pad, and an 8" mesh kick pad, with a kick pedal included. Also included are three 10" cymbals: a ride with choke, a crash with choke function, and a hi-hat with pedal. Not only do the dual-zone mesh pads provide natural response, and feel great to play, but thanks to the Alesis Surge's compact size and portability, it can go where larger kits can't .

The Surge module is filled with sounds, and surprises. The backlit LCD screen makes navigation a breeze. Drum and cymbal buttons are arranged to resemble the layout of a traditional kit, so it’s simple to assign sounds and create kits quickly. The Surge module comes complete with 40 classic and modern ready-to-play kits. Easily tweak any existing kit, or create your own using the 385 superior drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds included in the Surge module.

Inside the Surge module you’ll also find valuable extras. The built-in learning features, sixty play-along music tracks, and an onboard metronome allow you to improve your skills. There is even an advanced sequencer and a performance recorder to expand your music-making potential. In addition to the USB MIDI connection for use with computers and mobile devices, the Surge module also offers up some old school MIDI In and Out jacks so you can hook up to your favourite MIDI-equipped drum machine, sound module or other audio gear. The stereo aux input allows you to jam along to your favourite tracks on your CD or MP3 player.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Alesis Surge SE Special Edition All Mesh Electronic Drum Kit offers great value for money, and with features like built-in play along tracks and metronome, it's perfect for beginner to intermediate players. Its compact size means it's also a great option for drummers who want a practice kit to fit into an area with limited space.
