Great ekit

I love this little ekit. If you are looking for an excellent quality smaller foot print ekit and you don't mind that it looks more like an ekit than a drumset this is the way to go. This kit has an excellent sounding library with all the playability of the larger brother strata prime. It's library is more no frills than the strata prime, so if you are looking for a more budget friendly option but need an extended library be prepared to add some extra sounds. My unit did start out with the boot glitch, but I can verify that the newest firmware update does fix this issue. I have also used this kit on stage and loved the experience and so did my band mates. For the smaller venues being able to send feeds to your FOS and not have to worry about holding back all the time and trying not to wash out any of your other band members is great. Know the outbound feeds from the module are a little more limited than some ekits but the ekits that have more outbound feeds also have a much higher price point. I would say get this for a great pro-level ekit on a smaller budget

Terrible cymbals and quality of drums

Ever since purchasing this kit, almost every cymbal (3 crashes, ride, hi-hat) have cut out completely. Sound is amazing though, only the quality of the kit pieces are disappointing. Customer service is awful, with each email trying to replace a cymbal seems to be a 1-2 week back and forth battle with at minimum 2 day response times.

    Had the set for 1 day. the screen froze and it had a loud hum through all outputs. I packed the kit back up to swap it for another new boxed set at the local GC. I asked to unbox and test the newly boxed module. This unit had the same loud hum. Returned and got a TD17kvx.

    I got this set yesterday and I love it! This is my third and favorite e-kit that I've owned. It's rock solid and it sounds and feels like real drums. Having a real hi-hat stand, and boom stands for the cymbals is a game changer. The cymbals sound and feel more realistic compared to my previous e-kits. The bass drum is heavy and stays planted where I put it. I play with a double bass pedal and this is a solid kick. The toms are great and I like the sizes; two 8" and one 10" with a 12" snare that sits on an actual snare stand make this a realistic sounding and feeling set. The touch screen module is sweet. I can't wait to explore all this kit has to offer, and I look forward to playing it for years to come. Thank you Alesis, this set is a perfect fit for me and my budget.

    Let me say I've owned 6 electric kits in the last 20 years. For this model, the sounds are awesome. However the module kept freezing up even after updating it. The triggers had false hits and lack of trigger response even after adjusting every setting possible. Extremely disappointed.

    My understanding is this does not come with a hi-hat stand or a snare stand.  Is there a rack mount for the snare (purchased separately) or does it need to have an independent stand?
