    Alesis DM5 Pro Kit

    Alesis DM5 Pro KitPublished on 03/28/08 at 16:00
    I am a drummer, bassist and guitarist that has been playing one instrument or another for over 17 years. My style varies from one instrument to another, though it is generally in the rock, funk and acoustic genres.

    I acquired this unit from Sam Ash (in store, not online) for $599 plus tax. I had chosen this unit due to my previous experiences with Alesis equipment, and the fact that it is, in my opinion, the best electronic kit within my price range.

    The price, first and foremost. Based on my experience and research, it seems to be the most bang for the buck. The set-up is also sturdy and the heads are not the hard rubber sort.

    The price, first and foremost. Based on my experience and research, it seems to be the most bang for the buck. The set-up is also sturdy and the heads are not the hard rubber sort.

    A lot of tweaking is necessary to prevent crosstalk and noise. You are only limited to 21 banks to store kits (one kit per bank).

    The kit seems sturdy, with secure mounts and rack.

    Alesis seems to have come through for those wanting an extremely versatile kit for not a lot of scratch. The quality of the sounds, construction, and general conceptualization of the kit makes this a comparable to kits in the $1000+ range.

    Great for practice, home studio and even some gigging.

    Use the studio to play on virtual instruments groove agent type.
    The kit is being treated is solid.
    The pads are also strong and collect heavy strikes.
    The appearance of "drum head" is well done. the game is certainly a little bouncy but with a little practice you get used to it quickly.
    The hi-hat pedals is average ... little typing feel with a good rglage ... everything must go in order.
    The DM5 module is a bit DMOD for its internal sounds, but still a good external sound controller noon and trs complete in its branches. It's a wonderful control virtual computer, expander etc ....

    We chose this product APRS reading several reviews praising the srieux to Alesis and the quality of their products, j'espre than other products in their range are better than the DM5 Pro Kit that n 'a pro as its name.
    Sil same as it is between a range, the average price of 600 euros could leave and wait for a better quality Resistors, After all, this is a drumkit.

    Bought second hand two months ago, I inquired before, but for the price which I bought, no competition!

    It does certainly not worth a Yamaha or other models very pro, but finally, to start, no need more.

    The skins are tough, the sensitivity can be adjusted, I use it with Superior 2 as a controller, a few settings and it's nickel!

    I intend to post a double pedal and possibly other pads, we'll see what happens, apparently related to Roland are compatible with the DM5.

    I'm really pissed at Alesis because the pads of my DM5 Pro Kit are already dead, after only 3 months of use! The screws holding the heads aren't tight anymore because the plastic screw threads broke. I'm a beginner so I don't hammer them like crazy and I only used them 2 hours a week. It's a pity because, apart from this, I liked everything about it!!!!

    I've owned this product for 2 weeks. I quickly got used to it and it's price is ok.

    It has a nice design and the sound is very good. Its responsiveness could be better, nevertheless it sounds well and the playing feel is VERY good. The sound module is great:

    It has monitor outputs, a stereo recording output and a Midi output. It's the ideal tool for home studio applications and I'm delighted with it!!
