One Serious Electronic Drum Kit

The Alesis DM10 X Kit is a serious electronic drumset. Prepare to be blown away by the sound and feel. Large RealHead pads and Dynamic Articulation multi-samples give you uber-realistic drum sounds and lightning-fast, ultra-accurate tracking. This high-end kit is seriously packed: you get kick, a 12-inch snare, two 10-inch toms, two 12-inch floor toms, a 12-inch hi-hat, a 16-inch three-zone ride cymbal, two 14-inch crashes, and Alesis' premium XRack for secure mounting and quick, painless setups and teardowns. If you're ready for a serious electronic drumset, you'll want to check out the Alesis DM10 X Kit.



Alesis DM10 X Kit Electronic Drumset at a Glance:
  • Serious setup
  • Serious surfaces
  • Serious samples

Serious setup
The Alesis DM10 X Kit includes a serious set of large drum and cymbal pads, and the latest XRack. The DM10 X brings the sound and features of kits costing $thousands down to earth. The DM10 X Kit gives you a spacious six-drum, four-cymbal setup, with component sizes and spatial relationships that will feel instantly familiar to both acoustic and electronic drummers.

Serious surfaces
The DM10 X Kit also features Alesis' acoustic-feel RealHead pads in 10- and 12-inch sizes. Dual-zone pads incorporate actual mylar drumheads and triple-flanged counterhoops for a serious, real-deal feel. You'll love the dual-zone snare and tom pads that let you perform rimshots and rim clicks - or assign other sounds such as wind chimes, gongs, or cowbells to the tom rims. With the RealHead Kick Pad, you can use your favorite single or double kick pedal, or split the kick input with a Y cable and connect an optional second kick pad!

Serious samples
In the Alesis DM10 X Kit, each sound is, in fact, a series of samples. As your playing intensifies, multiple dynamic-level samples and articulations let the drum or cymbal change not only its volume, but its timbre as well. Alesis' Dynamic Articulation makes for amazingly natural, realistic drum sounds and responsiveness.

Alesis DM10 X Kit Electronic Drumset Features:
  • 6-piece configuration with 10/10/12/12" toms and 12" snare
  • 4-piece cymbal set with 12" Hi-Hat, (2) 14" Crashes, and 16" 3-zone Ride
  • Heavy-duty, chrome-plated steel rack with hinged, Alesis quick-release clamps

  • More than 1,000 uncompressed, sample-based sounds featuring Dynamic Articulation

This Is All Pro! Not A Bedroom Kit

by Jeff Atlas from New York
December 9, 2011
Music Background: Owner/Operator Atlas Sound Lab
Putting aside the bigger RealHead toms (10's & 12's) this kit has a great "Acoustic" feel to it. Alesis finally took the snare drum off the rack, which in my opinion rules! Two 14" crashes and a 16" t... read more [+]riple zone ride also set this kit apart from the "bedroom" style DM10. Quick release clamps so you don't have to dismantle the rack to remove something is cool.
Let's face it ... If you're a drummer ... A few bucks more than the DM10 is WELL WORTH IT! Just a SUPER VALUE for the price.

The Sweetwater experience, as always ... effortless. Nathan Malone (ext 1304) fielded my call with professionalism & class. Not that I care about that stuff ... I'm a foulmouthed pig who runs a studio ... but, it would seem he knew I was calling ... heck, I think he had it loaded up on the truck before we hung up ... arrived in 2 days. AWESOME.

So to conclude my little ditty ... EXCELLENT drum kit for the price. This is a "players" electronic kit that won't kill your bank account. It IS NOT a video game controller :-) If you're a player YOU WILL enjoy this kit. close [-]

Alesis DM10 X -- Great Value

by Dan McCurdy from Cincinnati, OH USA
January 27, 2012
Music Background: Musician/Recording Engineer
The DM10 X is a lot of value stuffed into a small, reasonably well-engineered package. The sound itself is competitive with the highest end e-drums out there as far as I am concerned. The kit is wel... read more [+]l-engineered with enough setup flexibility to satisfy most needs. Biggest problem is squeezing the drum unit in next to the high-hat; the left-had tube should be another 4" longer. I ended up mounting my drum unit on a mic stand! The assembly instructions are a bit obtuse in some spots, but you will figure it out eventually. The cable bundle is a bit messy and some of them are simply not long enough, depending of course on how you set the kit up. The trigger inputs are not completely labeled for the kit, you have to experiemnt to find out where crash2 and tom4 need to be plugged in but that's part of the fun of new gear. There has been a lot of complaining about how any of these new Alesis kits don't come with the triggering set up properly, but mine was pretty good; the only trigger problem I encounted was getting the ride cymbal 'bell' to be reliable. Overall, very pleased. close [-]
