- Check out the brand new Alesis Strata Prime! (Link 👉 drumhelper.com/recommends/ale...)
The Alesis Strata Prime is one of the latest additions to the world of high-end electronic drum kits. In this video, I demonstrate all 74 preset kits included with the Alesis Strata Prime electronic drum set module.
I loved familiarizing myself with all of the 74 onboard kits. They are comprised of a huge range of bespoke and high-end drums and cymbals that have been meticulously recorded in some fantastic recording studios. These preset kits have been put together to meet the needs of modern drummers.
I hope you find this video helpful! Let me know which of these you think sounds the best in the comments.

Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed these demos! If you're interested you can check out the Strata Prime here- drumhelper.com/recommends/alesis-strata-prime/
Loved them!!!
can you do a video on the routing options????
❤❤❤
May they really stepped it up with this kit. I love the module.
The most realistic and detailed sounds on the market, because this is a true BFD kits dude!!!!
Correct it's essentially a computer running the full sound engines. Glad you like them!
This and the Pearl Mimic Pro. Though the Alesis seems to be more versatile out of the box.
The problem is they don’t last more than a couple years
Thanks for taking the time to put this together, it's super helpful since there's no place near me that has one to test 🤘
Awesome glad you found it helpful!
The module and most of the sounds are the best parts of the kit. If you watch actual review videos and not just kit playing samples, you would know, like every Alesis e-kit, there are flaws, issues, and too many cons. One day, Alesis may come out with a kit worth buying. For about the sane amount of money or less the competition has better e-kits. I feel Alesis comes out with a great kit concept, but instead of dialing it in so it works properly and better, they rush it out to sell. Alesis is getting better, but all their e-kits need work. Alesis seems to come out with "flagship" e-kits that, in many ways, are better than the last kit but still not a perfectly working kit worth buying.
@@IamadrummerI’ve watched several review videos over the last few days, and haven’t seen many complaints or concerns. One dealer mentioned a lockup on the module that seemed to resolve after a firmware update. Another mentioned the rack clamps perhaps not being up to par. Maybe a couple of other minor concerns. I can’t find reviews from non-dealers however. What negatives have you heard? I want to see a thorough review of the hi-hat, but the reviews so far range from saying it’s passable to excellent.
@@johnnybradshaw7712 I've put up a complete review last week where you can see my full thoughts on the whole kit! Go check that out on my channel. Also I'm not a dealer nor am I endorsed by Alesis. :) PS: The hi-hat and all the cymbals are excellent.
@@GideonWaxmanI stand corrected on only seeing dealer reviews! I did watch and like your video a few days back. I typically listen on my commutes back and forth to work, so not looking at the screen too much, lol! Excellent work by the way, on the review and playing through all the kits. Great grooves and fills to demonstrate the sounds and playability! Would you say the hi-hat is on par with a VH-13 with a Roland module? I haven’t bought the VH-14 digital hats for my TD-50 yet, but was thinking some of that $1000+ could go towards a new Strata Kit. 😂
Very impressed with the sounds in this module. Great diverse playing styles to showcase it, too.. .well done man!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing all kit sounds! Perfect!👍🙋🏻♂️
Thank you! glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for that! I know that must have been very time-consuming! Great playing and a great representation of what this kit offers! I currently play a Strike Pro SE, so this is intriguing 😊
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you appreciate the effort gone into it!
That's the video I was searching, thanks for those double bass patterns! 👍🏻🔥
Glad you like them!
Just ordered mine can’t wait. Good demo love most of the sounds.
Thanks! You're gunna love it!
@@GideonWaxman question regarding recording covers, does this module allow you to record your playing and aux audio at the same time and export the audio via thumb drive?
@@BrianGriffindog1For its price it better😂
Awesome drumming
This is awesome ! ❤
Thanks for sharing with us the new Alesis Strata Prime kit! The module sounds very good! Alesis did an excellent job here. You rdrumming is very good.
Thank you for the kind words! Appreciate it.
I love that there are just a couple gimmicky kits, 99% of these sounds are actually usable. We have never seen a module like this.
#7 2:08, #10 3:18, #13 4:24, #23 8:56, #72 30:22 - my fav’s so far. Thank you! Great grooves.
Cheers!!
Wow much drumming!!
Kit 14 sounds amazing
Yeah I love all the Birch ones!
No module has ever come close to this. The module alone is a 2 generation step up.
Not sure why all the stock sounds are so unnaturally dry sounding. I also hear the dreaded machine-gunning, mostly on some of the snare sounds. I like the crash cymbals. I'm not sure I'd pay $3,500 for this kit though. I'd wait until they start hitting the secondhand market myself.
@@fartpooboxohyeah8611I tend to agree. I still think the Mimic Pro module is a better sounding module. However, I’ve always had a preference for the Toontrack and Slate stuff over BFD. If Toontrack ever gets into the module game it would be game over!
This is perfect for my man cave. Thanks for the demo. I'm getting one like now!
Awesome, do it!
Tried this kit at guitar center since it was on display. It’s amazing.
Yeah it's killer
Kit 61 Electro 2 fkn BANGS!!!!
Thank you bro
Nice man 👌
Thank you!
Thanks man.
Will be interesting to see how dependable the kit components are over time. Digging kit # 38 at 14:47. Like that snare.
Compre una nitro mesh hace 4 años y no ha presentado problemas
awesome demo. Do you know if you can still use a 3-up 1-down configuration for the toms like on the strike series?
You can! Alesis told me specifically you can do this but you would need to modify the rack by using the longer left piece as the central part to accommodate for 3 toms up top.
Do the module support pos sens on snare??
I know the snare pad dont have pos sens.
Did you reverse the stereo? I assume while playing the ride for example is more biased towards the right rather than the left channel?
I saw sweetwater sells an extended version of this kit with a total of 5 toms and 4 crashes, HH, and ride. Do you know if it's possible to connect more cymbals to the module beyond the 4 crashes, HH, ride of the extended kit?
I believe it's maxed out with the extended kit!
In theory, if it works like other modules, you should be able to expand beyond the already expanded kit by using splitters because all the toms are dual zone and all of the crashes are triple zone. So you should, again in theory, be able to at least get 5 more drum or cymbal pads just from the toms alone but you'd have to have them all setup as single zone. You may also be able to get more by using splitters on the cymbals too but since they're triple zone and only use one cable, where most others use two, you may not be able to split those channels. Then again I could be totally wrong about all of this but that is how the majority of modules work, if it's a dual zone channel it can be split
@@keithwoodcrest That's amazing info. Thank you! I am a beginner to e-drums, so I appreciate your detailed explanation.
I know the module has 13 trigger inputs total. Count em. Kick hat snare 4cymbals 5toms that is 12.... Like was mentioned, splitters could allow some trickery, but you lose some zones then.
Considering this is a vsti in a box, I'd just as soon use my pc as the module. If you want max inputs, check out Megadrum. It was/is a homebuilt trigger interface that expands up to 48 inputs.
But this package looks SO SOLID as a trigger and module, and the price ain't bad for all that you get.
@@chrisbarryCAWhy would you need anything besides the expansion if you’re a beginner dude?More pads is not gonna make you Tommy Lee😂
Great thank you! Is there a floor tom?
Yes there are two floor toms but I'm most familiar with using only one so had a typical 5-piece setup for this video!
Does this e kit includes those famous 80’s Simmons drum samples?🤔
Man that would b bad ass
i have a strike kit, should i upgrade with this? or wait it out? thanks man. got my kit a couple of months ago...
It's up to you really- the Strike is still a great kit but this is a worthwhile upgrade in my opinion.
Are the Paiste cymbal samples? Or just the zildjian?
There's a whole range from Zildjian, Sabian, Paiste, and Meinl! I recall there being a lot of Sabian HHX Complex, Meinl Byzance, Zildjian A custom and K custom lines, and Paiste Masters and Signature lines,
3:18 sounds an awful lot like "It's Yours" by Loathe 👀
It might just be!
First your playing is very nice! Otherwise , Kit sounds good. I have strike pro with total custom imported library and sounds as good or better. Fact that this new module only has four assignable outputs is a dealbreaker for me anyway, but I don't think people who have the strike should feel like they need to run out and get this kit. Of course, the pads and symbols and some of the features are certainly really nice but it's just not necessaryfor us strike owners to dig it and get this kit. It's not a significant upgrade when it comes to sound
Thanks for your kind words and insight! I agree, if you and others are happy with the Strike then that's awesome - no need to upgrade.
Loathe kit 10🔥
You know it
Lets say i wanted to connect a single zone cymbal onto this kit (one i already own) is that possible?
Yeah I think so!
You will have no problem connecting single zone pads. Dual and triple zones have issues due to different cabling
No exotic kits bummmer maybe the rims trigger something?
Exactly what we all wanted! And thank you… But what’s up with the New York kit? New York drum sets don’t have one sound but I can tell you if they did it wouldn’t be that sound! 😂
I freaking knew as soon as I finally bought the strike pro se that they would be coming out with a new kit 2 months later 😡
hahahahahahahahahahahahahha
The reason why I still play my TD 11! 😢😂 I know at some point there’s gonna be something coming out that is absolutely what everybody wants. I feel they are closer than ever now but there’s gonna be a cheaper version of this kit I believe in the next year or so that’s gonna be it! I’m hoping by Summer and for less than 2,000. Or, I’ll just buy the module and build another kit. And believe it or not my TD 11 from 2015 really isn’t that bad IF you know how to play and work with the sounds. And, I can’t do any fast Tom rolls unless both hands are on two different Toms 😂
@@williamperri3437The td11 is a great module, been giving thought to just grabbing one off Reverb just to have again
Has some good kits but with a little parameter tweaking it would sound lit 🔥 🔥🔥
My biggest question is... because I know nothing about VST's and modules, can I load the Joey Jordison kit on here?
Doubtful. It uses BFD. So if there is a Jordison patch on BFD out there, so I've heard you can load it... But if it comes from any other sampler vsti like Superior then my guess is no.
You can't load it on the module, but you can send midi or connect via USB and load the VST on your DAW.
This or ef note 7/pro? Hard choice
If it was me that was making that choice, these are the things I would consider.
1. Intended use. Home/practice/live. If all three and Live is more intended. Will there be a sound engineer and what are his requirements. i.e. would a max of 6 outputs be sufficient.
2. Do you like the sounds? I am to believe there will be future sound expansions available and/or and editor in the future to add whatever sound you want.
3. And this one will be down to time, reliability. Nothing sucks harder than when something fails mid gig.
4. Cost.
All told, I think this is a great kit and very worthy of the price.
Hope you make the right choice for you.
Is there a way to 'disconnect the snares' while playing?
There is no snare throw off, but you can create your own kits that have snares without the wires on
@@GideonWaxman thanks! Shame, a $1 button would've done it..
Sound of Muzak on kit #11?
Correct! Such an awesome groove.
how long does it take to load each kit..?
Just a few seconds. Takes about 20 seconds for the module to turn on.
@@GideonWaxman ... do the sample tails continue when switching to a different kit..? or do they cut off unnaturally ?
@@squidskunk They cut off which is the case with any E-kit I've played
Kit 38. Ou la la.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 ass playin bro
Thank you!
Are these real drum sounds ? BFD? or are these the Alesis kits.
These are sampled from a wide range of real drums and cymbals. You can check out my full review of this kit where I go into more info about this!
Let me just add that I’m mad at Alesis for not having a “Philly” kit! 😂
I'd be hard pressed to tell you that any of these were not a live kit.
Alesis JUST DESTROYED the aound module market. I'm sorry. BFD is an old name in this business, so many sample sets came after BFD.... BUT ZERO MANUFACTURERS have built a vsti into their module.... And to me that means that we all expect to connect through usb and trigger Superior or Drumkit from Hell and the module is essentially worthless... This is the first and only module to give us a vsti in it, and wven give us per sample vst effects.... This is like a whole 2 generation jump for sound modules. Alesis really outdid themselves with this module.
Not only that...bfd is an old name but it does sound better than sd3 which is the closest competitor terms of detail.
Their software is not as nice UI wise as sd3 but still king in terms of the quality of the samples. If this is bfd3 built in, it's pretty amazing.
makes my td50 sound like crap
Rolands are reliable. Trigger EZ drummer or SD3, you shall get better sounds than these
@@xgreco i already do. i have yet to find better triggering than roland
@@xgreconah trigger bfd3. Bfd3 is still my go to vst for production when it comes to sound. Sd3 is the other one I use a lot. Ezdrummer is not inthe same league as either.
It honestly is amazing they put bfd inside. I however would imagine a roland td50 would still have superior triggering fidelity though for the bfd3 vst
You need to play a tom groove for each kit. So far each kit I like most you didn't hit the toms for.
I have this and a Roland td27kv, the Roland is totally superior in every way, I bought it thinking that it would be better than the strike pro se but I was wrong, the sound module seems unrealistic to me compared to a Roland td27
Wut?
It won’t last more than 3,4 yearss
Roland is SOOOOOOOO f*ed 🤣
The only problem with these kits is that they all (even the 10k ones) forcfe you to play a certain way thats frankly just thrashing. Second, they sound flat and trashy. But then most modern drummers are thrashers?
Every kit sounds the same...like crap
Looks like a lot of missed triggers
Awesome drumming
I have this and a Roland td27kv, the Roland is totally superior in every way, I bought it thinking that it would be better than the strike pro se but I was wrong, the sound module seems unrealistic to me compared to a Roland td27
I think you're lying...lol...sorry
Subjective I guess? I've played both and owned a Td50.
The Strata is fantastic in my opinion. The Td27 still has better nuance and triggering but not by much. It would be a hard choice for me.
