You guys are amazing. Thank you so much!!
OHHH YURRRRRR!!!
#drums #electronic #beginners #beginner
Got this kit after seeing your review and added a double bass pedal! In my late 30's finally getting into drumming and i'm loving it!
hell yeah dude!!! have fun :) :) :)
Which pedal mate 😯
Does it work with Bluetooth headphone you already have?
@@mainakchatterjee8442 DW 3000 like a noob, don't know if it set up wrong but i'm not getting them to works properly. I'll troubleshoot this weekend. Feels like I have to hit HARD for them to register, so im thinking its the position of the beaters. Sensitivity on the bass drum is set to the highest number.
@@66Samus I'm interesting in buying one kit to learn to play some metal, wich double bass pedal would you recommend with this kit?
I hav a very serious question to ask...How. In. The. Hell...do I hire Samus to open all boxes delivered to me?!? I'd pay top dolla to watch him open all my packages. OHHHH YURRR \GHOGF/
Samus will be flying to my house December 25 early in the morning and opening all my Christmas presents for me! He’s only charging me $2,222.22 …not bad! 🎅🏻🎄🎁🎁🎁
I’ll pay him $6,666 to come open my presents
Watch him open your packages or watching the CRACK? 🤪
😂
Farts
Just $400? That's affordable enough for me to finally try getting into drumming!
The Titan 50 is also a pretty good option. Less kits to choose from unfortunately, though all the sounds available are a bit more rich than on the Alesis
Just a friendly warning. If you live in an apartment and have neighbors below you, they will hate you. I found this out the hard way. It's the bass pedals. You might as well be stomping on the floor with bowling balls. I got the old broomstick banging in the ceiling "STFU"
This definitely seems like a good cheaper option. anything cheaper definitely ain't worth it. I bought a super cheap Amazon kit just to get back into drumming since I played when I was younger. Fuckin pads arrived not working. And the ones that did work had shotty sensitivity
yeah the kick pedals they send are worth maybe $2. They're a joke. Got the same from my idiot roommate downstairs. @@satevo462
@@satevo462 you don’t have to hit it that hard lol you can either raise the sensitivity or lower the beater to be closer to the trigger. I had this same problem when I got my Alesis surge mesh kit, once I messed around with the kick drum I was able to make it so I barely have to tap it to get a sound. That’s only when I wanna play at night tho in the day time I turn down the sensitivity and let loose on the kick drum lol.
Being a single dad on a budget, this works for me! I'll be ordering soon. Thanks for introducing!
thinking same thing. does it work for DAW? if so, how?
@@jasonhuttermusic424 most ekits do this one included midi to usb cable pretty sure. ive had an ekit before and thats what I used
Tempted to get this kit. Affordable and less disruptive to my new puppy and other pets and family, especially as a learner. No one wants to hear me be garbage for hours lol.
Hi. Curious if you bought it and how the puppy deals with it. I have a regular kit, but can't play it because it bothers my three golden retrievers. Looking for a quieter option.
@@MLGubish havent had the chance. My golden puppy and work schedule changing have been a handful
@@SinisterPlauges Well yes, Goldens can keep you busy. Hope you manage it someday. Think this will be a birthday present to myself.
@@MLGubishI have it. Get it. Free Drumeo and Melodics included
This honestly seems like a significantly more affordable option that hits the same niche the old roland TD 11k hit when it was going for like 1100 bucks. Very cool.
well they also sound very very different
@@747lchso which one you recommend this one or Roland td-02k?
I lost it at "make sure to eat that", and that's why I started following you a few years ago. 😂
Dude. I literally just bought one of these and am currently scrolling through UA-cam looking for background noise as I set the kit up. Glad to see that you approve!!
I had the same issue with the ride cymbal becoming a bell with the Alesis DR6 over a decade ago. Glad to see they worked that out.
I bought an older Alesis Nitro a few years back and this is *so* much improved from that original kit.
That was the most entertaining unboxing I have ever witnessed. Thank you 🙏🏼
For 399$ this is actually fire🔥Great channel great content always fantastic tips and lots of entertainment😄Keep it up Samus!👍
I needed quiet and minimal space, so I ordered one of these a couple of days ago. I'm just waiting for it to arrive in the store. Neat how you're reviewing it for me.
So it's not just me who drops the sticks 😂 dude I'm so glad I found your channel man, every video is just information packed , funny and always played with heart. Thanks man
thank you so much dude!!!
Honestly man, you're in the top 3 channels of mine. Your content is superb, plus your a genius on the drums 🤘⚡
I launch them across the room sometimes
.... granted I'm a bassist but still it's not just you
Awesome video man! I started drumming with an Alesis DM lite kit, then I got a Roland TD17 KVX which I still use for practicing and also for double bass endurance practicing. And my main kit is actually a Mapex Armory with double bass. So all I can really say, Alesis was a great way for me to start! Keep rocking man!!! you're an inspiration for many drummer!🤘🤘🤘
Bro…. The joy….. did my heart so good. 😂
Getting ride of the huge rim on the toms is a very good move , going to make them seem bigger and more playable.
The set I bought a few weeks ago for Christmas. Excited to use it.
This is the one I was thinking of getting so I’m so glad you finally reviewed it cause it answered literally all of my questions
So great seeing how much fun you have playing this
Your honest joy was perfect. Merry Christmas and have a great new year my good sir
I literally just bought this kit and it's amazing. I bought the expansion pack as well as another bass drum pad and it's kinda a legit kit now.
can u use in a DAW, cubase? if so, how? does it record the entire drumbeat?
@@jasonhuttermusic424you can definitely do that using drum plugins like addictive drums 2. That’s what I do with the nitro mesh kit
I love that you kept the falling stick at the end, and I love Alesis too
Awesome as always Samus, I honestly couldn't go back to electronic kits after retraining myself (after massive nerve damage in both arms) on my sonor kit, but you always bring the best out of any kit. Best wishes from the UK
@arboclimber - could you elaborate on this some more? I’m brand new to electronic drums, and just trying to educate myself fully on them.
@@TheTexican05 yes certainly, I loved ele tronic kits but as I mentioned I have ND so the now the bigger the head the easier it is for me but I'm not knocking EKs just no longer for me.
Got this as a gift for Christmas, cant wait to set it up and play!
Thanks for these types of videos. I bought my first e kit earlier this year because of your review (Donner DED-400). Works great with Phase Shift or Clone Hero to get me to keep playing.
Is the Donner kit worth the money for clone hero I'm looking for a electric drum set for clone hero for pc but not sure what too get alot of bad review for those drum sets
I had just added this to my amazon wishlist. Now I'm even more excited about them.
I know im a tottaly opposite style player then sammus(willing to play anything but my skill set is limited) but i appreciate him making me want to play again after not touching a kit(outside of a short time at GC a few months ago) sense 2015.
I loved playing for my Church youth group when i was a teen and i would always play to country and Christian rock songs in my house.
Someone damaged my floor tom in 2015 and i never had the chance to get it fixed, i live with my mom in a smaller house so playing my old Yamaha would not bode to well for me, this looks like a perfect fit for me.
Im 31 on the 23rd of this month and it is time I start playing again.
Thank you Samus for inspiring me all these years to want to play again.
GOD BLESS
sincerely
Gabriel
Ps.
I dont need expensive stuff to make my drumming dreams come true, just somthing afordable that wont break down on me in two seconds, this is why i follow you because you even help out the budget consious players like me.
I have known how to play sense age 11 but i have been out of it for roughly 8 years, im ready to get back in the saddle and maybe learn some Stryper music.
Just ordered these. Cant wait to start learning!
Saw the limited time offer for the drumeo edition and thought hey thata a wicked deal, then came to see if you had reviewed the kit. Long story short I ordered it a couple weeks ago and just received it today. Perfect for a apartment where I cant exactly play an acoustic kit anymore.
Just recently bought these because of this video, also congrats on hitting 800k subs. You're pretty awesome, keep it up!
Just bought this for my kids for Xmas... And uh... I'll probably be sitting at it from time to time, too.
Glad to know it's a strong kit to learn on! I've got 3 aspiring drummers in my house!
Great Idea for a Christmas present, I'm sure your kids will Love it but you might have to appoint time slots for them so they don't fight over it .. Cheers 🥁🥁🥁
Soo cooool !!! 🤩
thx for doing this review. its not my first drum set but people are always doing stuff in my house so it will be nice to finally be able to play drums more
66Samus, you inspired me to pick up drums again, I quit a few years back, but now i'm gonna be back at it with a good ohhhhh yuuuurr!
I just got this yoooo!!! I really wanted to learn drums and was very happy to see this at my guitar center I’m so excited to play it 🤘🔥
if ADHD was a drummer it would be Samus
ADHD definitely is a drummer
@@TheOffensiveSenses Underrated Comment.
I would love to have a nitro max as an upgrade to my existing drumpad so i can use in my upcoming gigs. Thanks for showing this, something for me to look forward to. 😅
I just ordered one of these 5 minutes ago and then I stumbled across your vid. I'm a minute and a half into it and am already cracking up. Fun and entertaining. Great job
I doubt that 🤔
@@Rusty84CVdoubt what?
You are so awesome, you are the best, your videos made me buy a good beginner drum kit
It's kind of like watching 'Captain Caveman' on drums -- love it.
Thanks for the review man, this looks amazing for a beginner!
Is this kit still 399? Because I’ve been looking everywhere for it and it’s like 800 dollars
I love the way you're opening these boxes awesome kit
Just got the drumeo version of this kit. Straight to blast beats!
That's a really impressive setup and pack of goodies for the price.
2:22 pm oh yurrr
It's illegal to but your volume town when this guy is playing geep it up man love you❤
I like the song you used for putting your drums together
You are awesome Samus!! 🤘😝🤘
Great review!!
1st vid of yours ive seen and im subbed right away! Lookin forward to learning more from you ❤
dude, thank you so much!!!
Great vid I’ve just gotten one of these kits and it’s perfect
Your blast beats are crazy sick
I have this to practice quietly, it's the best.
Wow! I love this!
7:17 samus enters the intergalactic over the bar fill dimension
Congrats on the 800k 🎉 🧎🏾💨
They are still selling Nitro Mesh kits. I just bought one for my 5 year old sons Christmas present. He's going to be so stoked.
yes, they aren't in production anymore but you can still find them on some websites and stores!
You are absolutely a character man. You gave me a hearty laugh and showcased this product beautifully. Thanks for your content bro
thank you so much, my friend!
Wow! I may get one myself!! That was cool!
I see the double kick drumtec kit in the background 🤘
Funny dude. EDiting is superb. I'm sold
I just bought the Nitro Max with the expansion pack(extra tom & cymbal) and I absolutely love it! I was afraid some of the toms or cymbals weren’t going to register all my hits but I haven’t had any problems. I was also worried the preset kit sounds were gonna sound cheap but they sound pretty good, i still prefer using Ableton since it has more variety and better accessibility to sounds. I’d also recommend using a snare stand for the snare since it does wobble when playing heavy. Overall I love it and definitely recommend it💯
@markcarreon9830 - thank you for this! Hearing other user reviews on a product I’m considering is very helpful. 🥁 🍻
Happy Holidays Samus, oh yur 🎄🎅🏻🤟
Effing awesome vider, 66Samus! Alesis is a contender!!
I’m gonna get this drums kit for my birthday and I’m really excited
I love the vids and your personality haah love it... i like seeing u open up the new kits and test them out, good stuff man
thank you Mike!!
I just bought one for my Christmas present. After watching your demo,, it will stay in the box until I have a tall glass of eggnog with Appleton spiced rum before I set it up
Amazing review!
Mornin man hope your day is well peace
Cracking me up yet again and damn you are a kick ass drummer. I might buy this little set.
6:30 same thing wicked flow
This dude is having fun XD
BUYING IT!
i got a deal on it with headphones+a seat for 370. Super happy with it so far as a beginner. i need to re-do my whole kick drum setup tho bc i wanna play metal
Broo where’d you buy it?
@@BullseyeHTX i bought it from music-city
I got a 11% discount from a student card tho
@@BullseyeHTX music-city
The best video, thank you so much for this, and we can directly put a double paddle here, greatest🤘🤘❤❤
Well I bought the kit before the video ended. You convinced me 😅
Always watching this with a big smile. And it got me buying one as well 😅
Super easy to hook up to EZ Drummer/Superior Drummer as well. Pretty solid budget kit.
Great sounding kit.
Sounds great!
Wow man.. very cool kit for beginners..
Shit, i might run out and get me one of these kits .. lol.. thanks for sharing this with us Samus.. much appreciated bro.. keep killin it.. 🤘🤘
Found it! I saw a couple reviews of this kit and they talked about using a double pedal, but they didn't show it, and they crabbed about double triggers or something, said it probably wouldn't work.
But I knew Samus would show us!
Hail to the king!
You're a very simple man with simple pleasures. You got a great personality 👍
thank you so much for the kind words and the sub!!!
its awesome to know they drastically improved the kick tower since the nitro mesh. when i got mine i tried using a double pedal and it would only pick up like 70 percent of the notes. i had to get a yamaha kp65 to get it to work properly. i might just have to pick up that snare tho the extra 2 inches looks alot better. nice review big dawg
i'm getting a drum pad for my desk so i can practice cos i never hit a drum before. will defo check this out in the future when i have the room to add one.
I personally enjoyed playing the Simmons Titan 50 more than the Alesis and even the lower end Roland ekits. But for a beginner or long time drummer who wants a cheaper kit to practice quietly none of these are bad options.
OMG the practice songs section I started cracking up, lol
That kit just arrived at my place 😀👍
i came for a normal review video but left smiling. you brightened up my day sir, thank you
thank YOU!
Excellent price!!!👍🤜🥁🤛👍. Merry Christmas 66Samus and your beautiful Family!!! 👪 👍⭐️🎁🎁🎁⭐️👍
Boom! got one of these for my Nephew this xmas. Buzzin' his little face of haha. first lesson... BLAST BEATS!! lol 👌
I got a DM7 kit a few years ago and it had the same issue with the ride. I started to hate playing it because it sucked so bad. I'm thinking about picking this one up since its an upgrade with mesh heads and a way better signal processor. I had to run my old Alesis through my iPad and use garage band to use different kits. This one comes with access to software and i don't need an iPad. Huge win in my book.
Just found your channel been binge watching for a few days. Although i think i saw some of vids a few years ago. you deserve my subscription oh yurr \m/
thank you so much dude!!!!
That beat around the 6:05 mark sounds alot like the opening track on PRO-PAIN's album The Truth Hurts.
Dude this is actually really good at that price point, i remember in the early 00s that an e kit sounding like this would be 1.5k easy. For 400 bucks, to mess around or learn this is a good option. Great video.
Man. My son is gonna be stoked!
Great video! Love the socks!!!!!!
Dude, you are hilarious! And you look like you're having so much fun on the drums, which is really what it should be all about. Even on the cheapest electronic drums, it looks like you're having a blast. I might actually get back on the drums and buy this kit because of you. Kudos!
thank you very much!!
Sounds really good for the money. Love your videos and excellent drumming. Always makes me laugh!
WOW!!! Times have really changed Alot..I haven't picked up the Sticks in well over a decade ive been back to playing guitar but ive been looking into something like this and it Really seems like a perfect option for the price..I mean im totally like you but im 54 when i was a kid if i had that .Shit .but i dunno we kinda frowned on Electric Drum kits in the 80's when i was Drumming lol but now that kit sounded as close to a real kit as ive heard on UA-cam for that price..i may get a set just to get a set lol to mess around with and see how they record with a mix on some of my other home recordings just for fun..Thanks man ..Killer Drumming too🤘🤘🤘😎✌️
Hey Sam you are effing amazing no matter what you playing on. Have you ever tried bucket drumming?
Thanks!
Used that little bass pad for my double pedal for a while until I purchased 2 mesh Alesis Bass pads and oh boy was that soooo much better haha. But that did require me to purchase a 2nd module. Also I discovered that the ride cymbal if I cross hit it my the body of my drum stick it does the bell hit more accurately
HOW WAS THIS @ DAYS AGO
@@modsplayrPatreon
So how bad is it as is with a double pedal? My grand daughter has a double pedal for her regular set but I was wondering if she could get away with that pedal on this setup?
When just using the one bass pad it comes with to do double bass it sometimes would miss hits because your beaters will hit more to the sides of the pad and not directly in the middle. If just using a single pedal on it you won’t have any problems. I initially modded mine by opening it up and adding a second piezo trigger inside it but I really wanted a mesh bass drum so decided to upgrade
If the drum module that comes with it is similar to the original nitro module then there should be 2 additional inputs to add an additional pad or 2 so you could always purchase a 2nd bass pad.
