most of your time will be spent understanding and playing around with the module. 2 weeks or so you will have it down, for the next year you will be changing up sounds, the second year you will sit into a sound you call yours. Thats my experience lol
Rock N' Metal? Welcome to my club brotha! I want to convince my church to upgrade from the roland drum set that we currently own to this model. So much more you can do!
Great video. I'm seriously going to buy this kit. Could you please tell me what the length and width of the rug is in your garage that your kit sits on. Your kit fits perfectly on it. I will buy one the same size before my kit is delivered. Thanks.
Hey thanks for the great video man! I'm thinking about getting one of these. Is there a way to tweak the L/R panning levels in the module? I wanna get all my sounds panned properly before I send it into the mixer if possible
Yea that is a basic thing very easy to do. You have to read the manual and get familiar with the module first. Once you do, that is a simple operation. Like I said over and over, the biggest time consuming thing that will take awhile is learning the in's and out's of the module itself and tweaking it. It took me 6 months of trying everything before I settled in on a good feel for the kit.
@@PeterGoesINya that is great news! I've already got somewhat of an idea for where I want to pan each drum sound to but was hesitant in buying the kit because I have very few inputs remaining on my mixer and really can't justify running more than a single stereo master line into the mixer from an e-kit. This solidifies my decision to purchase the kit. Thank you for the information, Peter!
Most Gibraltar or Yamaha Rack bars are 1.5 or 1 and 1/2 round. I'm curious to know if the clamps that hold the Tom's and cymbals would fit on Gibraltar rack? Also the Tom mounts?Tama and Roland are 10.5mm. How big are the holes on the Tom's that holds the Tom mount? Great video thanks.
The hi hat is a real pain the ass. I like the way yours responds in the video. I tried the big bird kit hats and there is zero transition between open and closed when slowly coming upon the pedal. I have the hats physically set up correctly. Followed your advice on keeping the sweet part of the hat in the correct orientation. I read somewhere that the module supposedly has a hi hat auto calibration but I can’t find it. I’m getting with double chicks when I step down or no chicks at all. My sticks on rubber makes a louder sound when hitting the hats closed than the module produces. It’s just all fucked up. Boy it would be nice if you could do a video on how you got your hats working so good. I know you said it’s just the plain vanilla big Byrd kit…….but that ain’t working for me. I’m using a Ludwig 3 leg hi hat stand and I did take the bottom felt off. I just bought this strike pro SE and all is working well except the hats are fucked. Lolololo,
how did you do your wiring? crash 2 has a nice, long cable, but crash 3 does not, and i set mine up basically you did, not like how they wanted me to with the extra crash on the left. getting some reads on both the ride and "china" when hitting the china, so just curious if there's something simple i'm missing
I just bought one of these this week. It's on backorder! So bummed out. Should be here in a couple weeks. I also never understood why people don't like electric or look at it like it's an inferior instrument. It's so odd. Its like saying electric guitar isn't as respectable as acoustic. Takes the same skill yoi just have WAY more options. Also better for jam sessions and gigs because you can get the volume perfectly. Small intimate cafe? No worries! You can play as hard as always; just turn it down. Love electric drums.
Great video and agreed I've just been jamming on it for past week since I got it and finding which kits I like best lol im gonna use addictive drums 2 and SD3 to better fine tune the drumsounds eventually.
I think its to basically tweak either the volume a bit, the intensity of the hit, etc. something of that nature. I just mainly leave it in the middle. I vaguely remember that when I played with it. Test it out while hitting it, you will see.
Update. I've used this set since November 2021. After making alterations, from my perspective, this e drum is the closest to an acoustic set (sound, feeling, etc.). I even used brushes on my Strike Pro. The new Pearl nor Roland TD is no match for this set. The hardware is sturdy. I have so many kit possibilities to create down the line. Looking forward to recording with this set soon.
I am 100 percent stuck on this and Roland 27 :/ i keep going back and forth. I’m going to be using superior drummer tbh, the hi hat issue has been showed to me personally, and the ride of my friends kit went out in 4 months :/ I want that many pads!!!!! Though
i am using a ludwig High Hat stand and i still cant feel comfortable with the position it is in any my foot too close to me, and the left rack preventing mre from pushing high hat forward a bit without the Rack stand almost falling over.
Yea? I will have to check it out. Again everybody's styles and tastes are different but Alesis sure doesn't leave anyone out with choices in this module.
Is there a way to make a rimshot trigger like on an acoustic snare? As in.. hitting the rim and head at the same time? It's one or the other and this, in my view, will develop bad habits in the long run when transitioning back to an acoustic snare.
This kit most definitely will allow that! There’s actually patches in the module that specifically say “rimshot” and putting that on with the regular snare sound for the head zone works perfectly! All my snare hits are beefy when I rimshot!
Once you’ve got the layout as you like it, basically keep the rack as it is and fold it up. When you get to a gig just unfold it and you’re good to go. Takes about 10 minutes
I got a question, i have the alesis strike pro se and been playing it for awhile but I recently purchased drum samples from nic Pettersen studio drums, I’ve got a zip file from them and wanted to know what all I need to do to get that zip file into my alesis module. Do I download the zip to a usb or directly connect a laptop to the module and upload the samples? I really have no idea lol any info will help and be greatly appreciated
I have not actually ever done that. Its a good question and I am guessing your are on the right path with what you plan on doing. I mean that's what I would do. I may at some point try that out and do a video on it, let me know how it turns out. Seems basic enough and trying searching on UA-cam for that one, I am sure those videos are out there. Let me know!
@@PeterGoesINya I searched that and that’s what let me to your video lol. it just sucks I don’t have my own laptop so either I’m buying one soon or borrowing one and I’ll let you know how it goes.
first is just drum sample or drum sample kit , is two different thinks. if is the drum sample kit you just need to remove you memory card in your module in insert in you computer(if you don't have card reader is pretty cheap ti buy. first unzip you file on your computer and put the file in the folder of your memory card in the folder named kits if is a drum kit(it look like this yamaha big kit.skt for exemple.) but if is only wave sample to make your own kit you do the same but the file will go in the folder named samples, if i'm not wrong for this one because i never use wave to make my own set because i'm too lazy and i use drum kit that are ready made for the sample that are in the module. I hope that will help you
I cant figure out how to do a good calibration of the cymbals (including the hi hat). Sometimes I hit the crashes very hard and the other cymballs triggers, I notice that because I hear a light sound when I play hard (for example i hit a crash and I hear a slight sound from the ride)
Giorgio go into kit settings and reduce xtalk that should make it less likely to trigger the other cymbals close to that drum I remember doing this like crazy on old dm10 kit which did this a lot.
I think an old Windows 7 laptop. You may have to update the firmware or do some research on how to get it to work. I am sure it will work but may take the updating and some tweaks. Call the company as a last resort.
There are lots of bad reviews on the alesys edrums, with your experience as an alesys edrum owner what can you say about those negative comments?, are the true?
Well there are bad reviews on everything, its all opinionated. I have no complaints on this kit. I had the DM10 kit many years ago and yes, its was horrible to play and sucked as I ended up selling it. But they came along way since then. What are some of your main issues with the bad reviews?
Don't let this clown talk you into making a bad investment, join the alesis forum groups and then join the roland groups and just observe. Alesis is a fucking nightmare. People who try and con other people into buying aleiss products only do so to reassure themselves of their own terrible investment. I've owned the Strike Pro Se and the Roland TD27KV it's like going from a fisher price toy to a Lamborghini, save your money and get the Industry standard, no professionals are relying on alesis drums hahahaha trash.
@@grxygxds kind of like what you just fucking did lol. Roland has great quality that’s about it. You overpay for way less shit all because they’ll lasts. Alesis has come along way. Opinions are like assholes everyone has one. So stop shit talking on UA-cam. You’re probably a shitty drummer anyways so you sell yourself on what you think is better. That’s ok!

I pick mine up from Sweetwater Saturday. How sturdy is the rack because I think I may use boom stands/clamps for the cymbals and toms?
don't worry the rack is fine. no need to use other boom or clamps, you would just be wasting more money. these are fine
Its as solid as any gibraltar rack I'd say

The only kit I want is justice for all album sound lol
My Favorite Metallica album! You can find the drum triggers anywhere and import the sound into the module. You should be able to find them somewhere.
Are the shells made of wood ?
appears so yes
Can you make the hi hat open when you put your foot on the pedal instead of letting up on the pedal in the programming?
no idea, why would you wanna do that?
