  • Supreme Quality build and sound
Style: Strata Core
The media could not be loaded. I have only just assembled yesterday and not played with it that much, but I’ve owned several eKits over the years, and hands down, this is the best I’ve ever seen or played. The build quality of the frame and all the drum parts is top notch. Minor gripe, the connectors are plastic, but seem sturdy, having aluminum mounting couplers would have been above and beyond. The drum heads and all cymbals feel and respond like acoustic. There is so much expression you can get out of every cymbal, I won’t need any upgrades for a long time to come. The variety of factory installed drum kits is superb. Only listened in headphones so far, but the sound fidelity and expressive responses is top notch. Still fits on the same 4x4’ drum rug my “cheap” Alesis fits on but is light years ahead. I saw many off brands here on Amazon with similar features but wasn’t willing to risk them. I’m glad I went with a trusted brand. Looking forward to years of fun with this. ... show more

  • Very versatile, and a great sound!
Style: Strata Prime
This the best electric drum kit I have ever owned, and I started out with a Roland TD12! The quality of the set is primo and there are many assembly options to get the pieces positioned just right. The brain has a very user-friendly touch screen format. It takes a while to sort out how the various functions work, like adding different percussion rim shots to all the toms (sound amazing when completed!), but it was well worth the time and effort. I can change parameters on the fly by highlighting the screen and turning the knobs at the bottom of the touch screen. This kit has the best sounding 14" snare of any electric kit I have played. I play many different genres, from rock to jazz to Broadway, and I can always get the sound I need. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Really wanted to love this, but it’s not quite like the real thing
Style: Strata Prime
The Strata Prime looks impressive and has some great features — the touchscreen is nice, the sounds are solid, and the build feels sturdy. But when it comes down to playing, it still doesn’t capture the feel of real acoustic drums. The hi-hats and cymbals especially leave something to be desired, and it takes a lot of tweaking to get things dialed in. We had several drummers try it out, and each gave similar feedback. For the price, we expected it to feel closer to the real thing. Not a bad kit, but not the game-changer we hoped for. ... show more

  • LOUD HUMMING FROM MODULE!!
Style: Strata Core
There is a HUM sound coming from the audio output jacks on the module as well as through both the 1/4" and 1/8" headphone jacks. The HUM gets very loud when turning up your PA, AMP, Powered speakers Etc. However, the volume on the Core module even at 0 does not stop or lower the HUM. It happens on all kits and is constant. Here is what i've tried: Different outlet for power. Same outlet for powering Module and speakers etc. Updated firmware to latest. Rebooted multiple times. Factory reset multiple times. Tried diferent cables, balanced, unbalanced. Made sure nothing else was plugged in. Turned off WiFi, Turned off Bluetooth. Nothing works! I submitted a ticket to Alesis to to see what they’re going to do. It’s very annoying considering this is a brand new set and I haven’t even been able to play it yet. ... show more

  • Best kit for the money.
Style: Strata Prime
Love these drums, they have made drumming fun again. You can chose from many preset kits or make your own custom kit.

  • Great sound from this kit
Style: Strata Club
Excellent feel on the drum heads and the cymbals. The module is great for this price, and the sound is realistic and nuanced. It takes up less space that a full drum kit, and the build quality is good. The size and sound level produced make it a good option for apartments where noise complaints are a concern. Definitely recommend this kit. ... show more

  • Glad I upgraded to the Strata Core
Style: Strata Core
I bought the Strata Core to replace an older Alesis kit (rubber pads, had it for 11 years), and so far it's been a revelation. It's been only a couple of weeks, and I haven't played around with everything the kit has to offer, but I love the tunable mesh heads--the dynamics are really nice, and they feel much more like real drum heads than the old rubber pads did. The cymbals are also a huge upgrade--both in feel and sound--and the hi-hat is really responsive, with more varied playing surfaces. I can get a true "chick-tick" out of it. With some kit modules I find the ride cymbal a little washy, but apparently you can mix and match with other kits to dial in the sound and tone you want. I need to play around more with this. Initial setup requires some patience and involves some trial and error, but I appreciate the flexibility of the rack and the way the individual drums can be adjusted for height and positioning. The module has 75 kits to choose from, and you can plug in a phone or other device to help you play along with songs. You can also output sound to headphones or an amp. Overall I'm really happy with the kit. It's reinvigorated my playing and my practice routines. It's not cheap, but then again it's a lot less expensive than the Strata Prime, and I feel like a beginner to intermediate drummer (like me) will get really good value out of the Strata Core without feeling like they're missing out on anything. Note that it doesn't come with a kick pedal, a hi-hat stand, or a throne, so you'll have to buy those separately if you don't already have them. ... show more

  • I'm impressed with the Alesis Strata Prime!
Style: Strata Prime
I have been playing acoustic drums for 45 years. I held off on buying electric drums for all of these years simply because I never was comfortable playing on them. I was always disappointed in the way they felt and sounded, so I just stayed away from them and stuck to playing acoustic drums.... Until now! I must admit after watching several videos of reviews from many other drummers I decided to look into the Alesis strata prime. I now am the proud owner of my first e-kit and I am not the least disappointed. I took my time calibrating each drum and made sure the mesh heads were tuned before I started playing. I made the right decision buying the Strata Prime and I'm impressed with the sound and feel of the kit. ... show more
