Great-sounding Module
For drummers and MIDI composers on a budget, the Alesis DM5 offers professional performance features and an excellent selection of drum, percussion and special effect samples. The DM5 puts over 540 sounds into a single rack space, many recorded in true stereo and with ambient effects. Both classic Alesis studio drum sounds and new cutting-edge sounds for the latest musical styles are well represented. You'll find a great selection of kicks, snares, toms, hi-hats, percussion instruments, special effect samples and more. Plus, the DM5's Expanded Dynamic Articulation feature allows drum sounds to change volume, tone, and pitch depending on how hard they're hit - just like real drums. Plus, the DM5's Random Sample feature brings new life to static tracks by realistically varying the sound of the drum as you play.

Compact, All-in-one Solution
Everything you need is included with the DM5 kit. You get a full set of drum pads including snare, kick, two toms, a pad that acts as a hi-hat with the included foot pedal, a kick pedal, and the drum sound module. You even get cymbal pads to trigger crash and ride sounds. Everything you need is included for a remarkably low price.

For Stage or Studio
The DM5 is a comprehensive drum percussion system that functions equally well as a recording tool, an on stage performance kit, or as the solution that enables drummers to practice without disturbing those around them. The DM5 includes an ultra-fast trigger-to-MIDI converter with 12 trigger inputs, 5 programmable parameters for each trigger, 21 programmable drumsets, and four audio outputs for discrete processing and control. Whether you're looking for a MIDI-controlled percussion module, a drum replacement tool for mixing, or an affordable answer for triggering sounds from electronic drum pads, the DM5 is the affordable solution.
