Awesome, thank you!!!
Your amazing man, one of a kind! Thanks so much for your hard work at making the best Strike kits out there and making them available to us. I been following you on your channel for quite some times. Used to have a TD-25, but after seeing what you were doing with the Alesis Strike I bought a Strike module. What a difference! Love your honest reviews! You and 65Drums are the best...
Hi. I also own a td-25 kit & am considering getting a strike module to use with it. Would like to know if you've encountered any compatibility issues with this combo? Should I go for it? Thanks in advance.
Great! Thanks for the quick response.
Man, thanks again. This user kit sounds awesome. Alesis should pay you a fee, and include all of your custom kits as stock kits. They're so much fun to play.
OB Joyful agreed
It's badass, brother! I'll definitely be using this one too. Thanks as always!
You get some of the best snare drum sounds out there. Nice.
Man oh man. That is a keeper!!!!!!!!!! I love this!! Sounds really good man!👍🏻
Josh Thank you for those user Kits they sound great. I just got my Alesis Strike Pro Special Edition set for Christmas and its a beast. I been a acoustic Drummer for over 50 years never have i ever thought I'll would be playing EDrums now you can't get me off them. You and Justin from 65 Drums got me into this and I thank you!! Keep up the good work my friend.
Really great ! The way you played and the Channel! 😃
I got it. It all works, my bad.
You re the best man!!!!
I'm new to drumming. Maybe 9 months in and I'm addicted. I've taken a preference to e drums and just bought a TD50K. Your channel is one of my favorites. Love your style and sound. Looking forward to more content!
Wow Thanks again for your efforts, another great kit! Finally tested it today. Well done with the snare, cymbals play great, and those toms... that floor tom rings on for ages (2x 18" subs). Not convinced on the ride, but that's my personnel preference. Well done man!
Same here about the ride but I thought it was still cool. More of a "unique" sound lol
Dude......duuuuuuuuuuude! 🤤🤤🤤
I ordered the strike pro a few days ago. I am already getting anxious.
One more question if you do no mind. Can you assign MIDI Channel settings globally so it affects every kits. Yesterday I was assigning Channel 10 to the MIDI so it would be recognized by the Roland V-Drum Tutor program I have. After some trial and error assigning midi notes I got it to work. The problem is that if I switch kit the MIDI channel setting on any kit default back to #1 channel. Basically, you have to manually change the MIDI channel individually for each trigger on every kit. On Roland modules once you assign the MIDI channel it was applied globally. I understand that internally the Alesis Strike works different, especially when dealing with with Preset and User kits files. Maybe I am overlooking something. Thought you may have an answer since you are so verse on with the Strike module.
Is the Alesis strike module still what you would recommend if I am trying to go A2E? Anything better in that price range? Any issues with the module freezing up or settings lost?
Are all your custom kits already set with the velocity, decay and all the other settings?! Basically like a plug and play?! I’m new to the strike pro se module and I can’t get my symbols to trigger correctly and I don’t understand ANY of the settings to correct it
Got the link from another post as your description area isnt showing up on my Chrome phone browser.
Great stuff mr Siren Drums! Got a bunch of your kits and made some level and panning for my taste but great work! When you use SDSE, for the snare and tons how many velocity levels do you use for the auto map??
Thanks man! I think 30/50 for snare and 25/35 for toms. That's for ssd5 tho so can't say if it'll be good for other VST. For velocity amounts 25 for snare and 15 for toms. After an import session I do a quick top velocity test (run through the round robin at top velocity) and then if any layers are out of order I count how many and go in and move them in the editor.
I have a question about the Main-Out (R & L) on the back of the Strike module. On the Roland modules that I used in the past, the Master Output (Main Out) are R and L/Mono. Is the Left Out channel on the Strike module perform the same function. If not, is it better to pan every pads to the Left when sending the signal out? I am asking because it has been said by many (V Expression, 65Drums, etc.,) that using mono (L/Mono) is better when sending your signal to the Amp, PA or FOH. My Simmons DA-200S has R & L/Mono In jacks as well. What is the best way to send the Main Out signal with the Strike module? Your thoughts!
I don't know why they didn't put it on the module but either L or R used separately is mono. I plug into L for my regular practice.
@@AtTheSourceStudios So if the panning in in the middle it goes equally to both R & L. On the other hand, if you pan the pad either right or left then the sound goes to that specific channel?
@@gxbchiro no if you plug only one cable in it is mono. Doesn't matter where you pan stuff everything comes out mono and centered. So pan however you like. Had no effect when running mono.
@@AtTheSourceStudios Great, I am new to the Strike module and I am glad you are there to shorten my learning curve. Thanks for your help!
Hey, nice video... great kit and sound. Can you tell me which triggers you’re using? I’m looking to convert my acoustic set and am unsure how much I have to spend on the triggers...
Hey. I use the 14" Alesis Strike snare (best pad I've ever played. Only center mounted trigger design with NO hotspot. It's great) Helensson ITM2 triggers for all my toms (I have a video on these) and UFO Drums bass drum trigger. (I did one for this too). Very happy with the setup!
Hey man, I like you videos! It has helped me tons! Although, I think you should make videos showing your face, its funny hearing just your voice over the years lol. Anyways, it's just a thought. Thanks for everything.
Hey,
so I need to ask You what do you think about Millenium MPS-850 vs Fame dd-one professional e-drum set vs
Fame DD-ONE Simon Phillips Edition, Or you have any other idea for drum kit with mesh pads, real hi-hat stand and under 1000$.
I am hoping for your answer and thank You
I am really unfamiliar with all of these kits (you must be in Europe - I am in U.S.) but I took a quick glance at all three and the pads all the the same if I'm not mistaking. If anything very minor changes. Sound wise though, which is what matter most to me, the Simon Phillips Edition really stood out to me. Or the Professional but I think I personally would go with Simon Phillips going based off sound.
The pads and cymbals are the same as Alesis DM kits here so I think all the pads will feel nice no worries there. Only thing I would add is putting the snare on a snare stand. The Millennium looks like can import samples though? Not sure if possible on the others.
That's something that might favorable to it but out of the box yeah either of the Fame kits I think I would go with. Some great deals overseas! (Sorry couldn't be of more help lol) Thank you for watching!
really thank you
So can I save those kits to my drive on my cell and load them right into my alesis module, if so how? All help would be greatly appreciated I'm a new strike pro owner.
You will want to be on a computer for this. You want to take the SD card from the strike and put in your computer. Then follow my link and find "The Pocket". Drag and drop into "Kits" folder of SD card. Eject the card, put back in the Strike module and you have it.
I use a micro sd card with an adapter. After the folder structure is set up by the module, I can put the micro sd card into the slot in my phone. With a good file manager I can copy the file into the kits folder. Therfore if you dont have access to a Computer, you need a micro sd card, as well as an android phone with a micro sd card slot.
@@objoyful989 thank you so much, I'm not good with anything like this but your information was very helpful!
HI -- That kit sounds awesome!! Would you be kind enough to share how the kit is mapped? 8" rim to …. 10" rim to … I am sure we would all be grateful. You create awesome kits!!!! Thanks!
Hey. Not sure I understand the question. What do you mean by mapped? (Sorry maybe I'm over thinking this lol) Like what instruments are assigned to which zones? If that's what you mean if I recall correctly the splash is on tom1. The rest is set for a regular strike kit.
Do you think you could make a video, on your setup, like mixers, audio interfaces and so on?
I've been thinking about doing something like this. You are not the first to ask. Might be too much to include in a kit walk through video though. That's another one i've been asked about.
Been playing guitar in bands for 30+ years and have had drum sets for 10 of those, off and on. Gave away both my rock and jazz kits a couple of years ago and now that I'm rebuilding a home studio I'm really taken by the Strike Pro. It seems to have been a hard process for Alesis to get the high hat and some other triggering to be as on point as Roland but the new firmware appears to have taken care of that. That set you have is freaking awesome but looks like you just put the Strike pads on your Pearl kit. Any advantage if I am only doing DI recording to have more than the Alesis shells? It's going to be all new to have e-drums anyway. Just want to make it as painless as possible.
IMO the Strike set is worth it for the module alone. The pads themselves feel great. The cymbals aren't my favorite but you might want to plan to replace the HiHat off the bat with something like a Roland VH-10 and then put the stock HH cymbal as another crash/splash.
My drums are converted from acoustic so unfortunately it is not the Strike pads anywhere besides the snare (couldn't give that up it's the best). Even if you end up replacing all your cymbals like I have or do anything with converting acoustic to electric what is 100% worth the investment is the Strike module.
There's no sonic advantage of having an a to e converted kit. It's all a feel/appearance thing so if you want to just record by all means the stock Strike pads feel great. I personally again would replace the cymbals eventually as they are not as sensitive as most like nor as durable but the pads are all great.
I have a conversion kit because this is my main kit for band practice and I want it to have the same presence as a full kit and when other drummers come in I don't want them to cringe at the "electronic drumset". If this was just a recording kit like next to the computer or something I probably would have only changed out the cymbals.
Trying to get the kit but it won't let me ......Access to doc-0c-28-docs.googleusercontent.com was denied You don't have authorization to view this page.
