Big news for e-drum wannabes. You no longer need a spare few grand hanging around to buy your first electronic kit. Thank Alesis for that minor miracle, now that the company’s DM6 USB Express Kit has shipped to drum shops across the globe.
Plugged In
Last year we interviewed Alesis engineer Jim Norman, at a time when he was hard at work on the DM-10 Pro Kit and other new models they have since introduced. One of the great features of this kit is the ability to download new sounds to the module, direct from your computer. Alesis has produced one of the best product demos, we've seen lately, so we thought we'd share it with you here. (By the way, that's Alesis VP Gregg Stein behind the kit--still playing great.).

As electronic drum sets become more common in recordings, isn't it about time they were designed with studio parameters in mind? That said, the hot-looking six-piece DM-10 Studio e-kit from Alesis should have you session cats drooling.
