Whether you come from a set, orchestral, or marching background, you'll find the response you're after in the Alesis Surge Mesh Special Edition Kit. The tunable, tightly woven white mesh heads allow players of all backgrounds to customize rebound and sensitivity for a custom playing response. The heads on the Alesis Surge Mesh Special Edition Kit are significantly quieter than traditional drum pads, for after-hours practice that won't bother your neighbors or loved ones.
The Alesis Surge Drum Module from Music Experience ships pre-loaded with a healthy range of selectable drum sounds. Load up one of the 24 preset kits, or create and save up to 16 of your own custom kits using 385 onboard drum and percussion sounds.
The Alesis Surge Mesh Special Edtion Kit makes your practice time more meaningful. The onboard metronome helps you build chops and streamline grooves and rudiments. There's also an 1/8-inch input to drum along to music on your phone or music device. You can also save memorable performances via the performance recorder.
The Surge Mesh Special Edition is an electronic drum kit that provides everything young people need to learn to play drums and get good fast – inspiring sounds, fun and engaging lessons, and a rock-solid kit from a brand trusted by professionals worldwide - Alesis. This eight-piece kit features mesh drum pads for quiet practice at home, a large mesh kick drum pad with pedal, three cymbals, and a hi-hat pedal. The included Surge Drum Module packs hundreds of inspiring classic and modern drum sounds as well as in-demand training features like 60 play-along tracks, a metronome to keep time, and a built-in performance recorder. Holding it all together is a premium drum rack that’s as sturdy as it is portable – capable of taking a beating and then folding up for convenient storage once practice is over.
Experienced drummers know that mesh drumheads are exceptionally quiet and offer the most natural playing experience on an electronic kit. The Surge Mesh Special Edition features large pads with tightly woven mesh drumheads for maximum playability. There’s a 10” snare pad, (3) 8” tom pads, and an 8” mesh kick drum pad that’s built to last. The kick drum pad has a large surface area that plays great with the included kick pedal but also easily fits a double pedal for when it’s time to upgrade. For cymbals there’s a 10” crash and 10” ride that both mute when grabbed and a 10” hi-hat with an expressive foot control pedal.
The Surge Mesh Special Edition includes everything you need to start playing drums right away – a cable snake, drumsticks, and drum key are all included. There’s also a high-quality single-beater Alesis kick pedal, and an expressive hi-hat control pedal. The drum pads, cymbals, and module all mount to a four-post rack that stands firm no matter how hard you play. You can even fold the rack up for easy storage – perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, playrooms, or any other area where space is limited.
