Really responsive and worth the money.

I've had this set for a month now and still amazed on how many things it can do. Love it and glad i bought it.

FIT FOR A KING

Okay 1) I am not a drummer 2) I am lacking in cognitive abilities - that being said I actually assembled this damn thing together unbelievable it took me hours and hours i lack common sense you see thats the catch. anyhow if you are a drummer this IS GREAT. If not THIS IS STILL GREAT. I will practice till I get there but this is THE DRUM SET YOU WANT it is perfect and I am running two 1/4 outputs (l/r) into a joemeek channelstrip so I got my PT HD and LOGIC hook into it at channels 5/6. Once again Sage thank you however the foot pedal kinda lacks character nevertheless this is expanding my repetoire and my evolution of musical experience.

DM10 Studio kit

Easy to setup right out of the box. Sounds awesome, and feels like an acoustic kit. I also added the Surge cymbals and the Alesis Trigger IO to expand the DM10 drum module to get a possible 20 more inputs. Wonderful for practicing any hours of the day or night without distrubing the neighbors or family. Bottom line very nice kit....

Amazing

The sound qaulity of this kit is amazing!, I can play it like I am playing an acoustic kit, I was very skeptical about Electronic Drumsets until I bought this one, Definitely worth it for the price.

2 to 3 hour practice

reaaly this kit makes practicing not just easier but simpler also it is a great sounding kit the sounds in the module r very clean and warm the dm10 module is more than the best it has so manty features i am still working with it the mylar heads r nice and pretty much feel like acoustic the cymbals r way better than roland in feel and also sound wise really if u want to practice 2 to 3 hour a day this is the kit u need it is fun to prctice with this kit the few things u need to be aware of that just do a tweaking on pads so that they dont get much dents and they soung good jusat take care of this kit and it wil help u in the future greeat work alesis

I almost forgot

This is a addition to my above review.I forgot to mention that Sweetwater was absolutely terrific with sales info and communication, they kept me in the loop the entire time and will do business with them again for sure :)

DM10 Studio

Very easy to set up. Calibrates wonderfully. The sounds are fantastic. Comes with 100 premade kits, but I customized my own which took probably 8 hours spread across a couple days because there is just so many sounds and options to choose from. If you like the sound of something, but feel its missing something, you can layer another sound on top of it to make the perfect kit sounds. Mylar heads make the playability feel very natural and realistic. I honestly prefer this over any acoustic. It just feels better to play. Sounds just awesome when recording with it. You have the ability to choke the crash cymbal and do swells...simply amazing for an E-kit. I love it, so buy it!!

Dm10

Have had this kit for almost a week. Crosstalk was bad at first but is fixed now. Lots of tweaks to get it right. The dual triggers on the toms are very touchy at first but fixable. The hi hat volume could be louder.
The stand is easy to setup and sturdy
This is my first eletronic kit and so far they have been fun. going to record with these.

awesome features

as everyone knowes the metal music is incomplete without the great drumming and the great drumming can be done wen the great drummers have great drum kits and this is the one best suited for live shows for practice for studio recording it just have awesome features the dm 10 module is just awesome with great features it sounds very close to an accoustic drum set great kit good for any level of drummer whether beginner , intermediate or advanced

Not too bad

Was one of the lucky ones who got in on the shipment about 1 1/2 weeks ago 3/31/10.
Had to come home from work because Fedex left it on my doorstep even though i required a signature.
Unpacking and assembly was straight foward, toof about 45 minutes to set up. Soundwise, they are great......very clean, warm and no machine gun effects The DM-10 module is as good as anything out there. As far as the pads go you have to do a lot of tweaking but the outcome is worth it. No they don't feel exactly like real drums but they are close enough and way better than rubber pads.

OK now for the bad news:
Ijust started having trouble with my sensitivity and found that after removing the mylar head, there is a thin foam layer under it the protects the piezo, and it wears out within a week it will sound like double hits or very tight flams when it starts.

Hooked it up to superior drummer 2.1 and the sensitivity is all over the place so you will have to do some more tweaking(im still trying to get it right).

Last but not least, the main reason i bought this was the fact that ALESIS advertised that you could download libraries/sounds to the module (supposedly a BIG selling point) and the reviews on the module have all been stellar.
This was advertised back at winter NAMM,. It is now 4/11/10, i sent Fxpansion and Alesis an email asking WHEN this will be implemented. I got a response back from Fxpansion saying it is up to Alesis and from alesis i have not heard anything yet so as far as i'm concerned they hav 30 days from today or i am sending it back due to FALSE advertising........
Over all the kit is GREAT, you get a lot for what you pay for, just remember to it will take a little work to tweak it in and change the rubber pad under the mylar head as soon as you get it
