Alesis Surge Mesh Special Edition 8-Piece Electronic Drum Kit w/ Mesh Heads

All-In-One Drum Solution for Young People and Beginners

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.

Quiet Mesh Drum Pads and Premium Cymbals

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.

A Drum Module with Great Sounds and Learning Features

The Surge Drum Module comes complete with 40 classic and modern ready-to-play kits. You can easily tweak any existing kit, or create your own using the 385 inspiring drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds built into the module. The backlit LCD screen makes navigation a breeze. Drum and cymbal buttons are arranged to resemble the layout of a traditional kit, so it’s simple to assign sounds and create kits quickly. There are also learning features like 60 play-along music tracks and a metronome to help build timing and accuracy. There’s also a built-in AUX input so you can plug in a phone or tablet to play along with your favorite songs.

Everything You Need to Start Playing Right Away

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.

You’ve worked hard to perfect your style. It’s yours and yours alone. You have your favorite sticks—just
the right weight and length. You love playing those long triplet fills. No one is going to mistake your
playing for someone else’s. Same thing with your sound—it has to be uniquely yours. You’ve honed
everything about your playing to be “just right.” Don’t trust your sound to an ordinary speaker. You need an Alesis Strike Amp 8 powered drumming speaker.

2000 Watts of Room-Shaking Power
With 2000 watts of explosive bi-amplified power and super high-performance transducers, this
speaker will always play loud and clear, in any space, in any situation—whether you’re performing,
recording or rehearsing. The heavy-duty 8-inch low frequency driver really adds the “kick” to kickdrum.
And the high-frequency compression driver in its computer-optimized waveguide conveys all the
brilliance and snap of your snare drum and cymbals. Power. Precision. Drama. Using the Strike Amp 8
is like driving a race car that’s absolutely glued to the track and it never run out of horsepower.

Feature Packed - The BEST Amp to Power Your Drums!
But there’s a lot more to this speaker than just pure power and portability. A lot more. The Strike Amp
8 has all the versatility and features needed to fit in anywhere and it’s a snap to set up and use. You
can use it vertically or tilt it back horizontally like a stage monitor. There’s an XLR output to link another
Strike Amp 8 or send your performance to another input device. Need to customize the sound for
that “just right” tone? Use the Contour EQ control. And the (2) XLR/TRS 1/4-inch combo inputs with
independent volume controls and clip indicator means there is virtually unlimited hookup versatility
and you’ll never unknowingly overdrive the speaker into distortion.
With its handsome, refined appearance, lightweight but rugged construction and versatile user
interface, the Strike Amp 8 is the ideal powered drumming speaker for everyone playing an electronic kit. You’re not just any drummer. Don’t settle for just any speaker.
