The DM8 shares the DM10's essential architecture, including playback of genuine recordings of real drums and cymbals and advanced Dynamic Articulation multi-samples.
Drummers will find the DM8 to be fitted with over 750 studio and live drums and cymbals, dozens of play-along tracks and a metronome for practice and performance. The DM8 features trigger inputs and outputs and MIDI and USB MIDI for flexibility and connection to a range of devices.
The DM8 USB Kit is a five-piece kit featuring a dual-zone snare pad, three tom pads and a kick pad that accommodates single and double pedals. The kit also includes a hi-hat with control pedal, crash with choke and a triple-zone ride. The rubber pads are designed to withstand heavy hitters, yet capture performance dynamics and articulation. The DM8 USB Kit comes with a preassembled, four-post DMRack complete with clamps with large wingscrews and mini-boom cymbal arms.
The DM8 Pro Kit features Alesis’ RealHead drum pads – a 12-inch snare, 8, 10 and 12-inch toms and an 8-inch kick pad that accommodates single and double pedals – and DMPad Cymbals – a 12-inch Hi-Hat with RealHat control pedal, 14-inch Crash with choke and a 16-inch triple-zone Ride. The DM8 Pro Kit comes with a StageRack, which features a four-post design, clamps with large wingscrews for tool-less adjustments and boom cymbal arms for flexibility in cymbal positioning.
