    I just got my kit two days ago and bingo! Problems right out of the box. The kick trigger for one is smoked and of course Alisus takes their sweet ass time for a responce. Already regretting this Hot Garbage. This kit should play out of the box with no excuses like you have to adjust to your playing. Bullshit! Play soft play load the kit should work.

    • @ClayFunk
      @ClayFunk 20 годин тому

      That's sucks! I empathize with your situation. When you say, “smoked” are you getting any signal on the mod display kit lighting up? If so, check the threshold on the kick. Not insulting your intelligence, double-check wires and push them in to be safe. Make sure a voice is set to the kick. No endorsements here just a follow member of the drum community! Hope that helps 💪🏾

    Strata prime uses a hall effect sensor to read a magnet's position. It is much more of a linear signal and more responsive than a FSR (force-sensitive resistor) which the Strike Pro SE uses. The only downside is that a hall-effect sensor is active in that it requires power (generally 5v) to operate where a FSR is passive and requires no additional power. I've created an arduino solution that allows a hall-effect sensor with the Stirke Pro SE and it is worlds better.

    This is a valid question and good topic. I agree. I’m a Roland kind of guy so I don’t have the Strike anymore but I think definitely for Alesis Strike owners they should have made a new firmware to make the new hats compatible with the Strike. But if you want a new hat maybe try some of the Roland Hi Hats, Drum Tec, or GoEDrum. There’s some great off brand companies out there as well.

    I have the Strike Pro and the hi-hat is absolutely garbage imo. I’ve tried messing around in the settings but can’t get it to sound right. The volume for closed and open doesn’t match. And it does not function like an actual hi-hat at ALL when opening / closing it. My ride bell also stopped working less than a year into owning the kit. And my mesh bass drum head got a hole from my plastic beater within a year as well. To fix that I put Evan’s patches on the front AND back of the replacement head and it’s holding up much better now.

    • @ClayFunk
      @ClayFunk 2 місяці тому

      Have you messed with the VEL (velocity) setting 99=soft and 0=loud many people miss that one. The Strata is not going to work with the SE which is a disappointment. One would’ve thought Alesis would invest into the former flagship. So we would have to spend $1600 + instead of make upgrades.

      Hopefully a very long time from now due to my facility and playing, I rely on rebounding versus burying the stick into the drum below the surface (when you see drum heads with dents) that’s from drummer playing below the surface.

    How do you like your strike kit? I had a nitro mesh then upgraded to a crimson 2 SE. It's a great kit but it has a few shortcomings like the snare occasionally double triggering, the bass pad not being sensitive at lower dynamics, the ride bell zone having a very small sweet spot, and the cymbal chokes having very specific grab points. Part of me wants to upgrade again to the strike pro, another part of me wants to just give up on alesis and go Roland.

    Thanks for this messege to all drummers than, like my self, understood that both, electronic drums and acoustic drums, are different instruments and both are valid in their formats and ways of using them. Most of the drummers I know who have bought an e-drum set, of whatever range and price, end up disappointed and negatively judge the electronic drum instrument, because they do not understand that what should be done is this “change of mentality” regarding the instrument and something very important, that electronic drum modules must be studied, known and worked on from their parameters to achieve what each one wants to have as a final product, which is sound and dynamics. but you should not enter into that position of unnecessary comparisons, both are different instruments.
