The Perfect Gigging Partner for Your Alesis eDrum Kit

Planning to rehearse or perform with your Alesis electronic drum set at road-ready percussion levels? Whatever your demands, the lightweight and rugged Alesis Strike Amp 8 MK2 from Sweetwater represents a tailor-made candidate for the job. Packing 2,000 watts of power, the Strike Amp 8 enables you to deliver rhythm parts with a realistic impact fit for any mix. Internally, an 8-inch woofer and 1-inch HF compression driver cover the entire frequency field, projecting both electronic and acoustic drum sounds with proper detail and definition. While you’re rehearsing, you can jam along to practice tracks and your favorite tunes via the Strike Amp 8 MK2’s Bluetooth connectivity. When it’s time to take the stage, a pair of combo jacks with XLR and 1/4-inch connectivity, as well as an additional XLR output, give you the freedom to chain multiple drum amps or route to the FOH mix board with ease. Both combos have independent volume controls for on-hand leveling, while a pair of ground lift and HPF EQ switches both eliminate ambient venue hum and ensure that your kit always shines amid your group’s mix.

  • Perfect for amplifying your Alesis electronic drum kit for performances and rehearsals
  • 2,000 watts of peak power ensure a huge sound to accommodate venues of many sizes

Reviews

This speaker is very powerful

Beat machines, electric drums, dj equipment, Just playing music through my phone via Bluetooth. I mean I can't tell you not to buy this it is bad

Plenty ‘O Bottom!
I went with the Strike 8 due to space and because I didn't want too much bottom end rumbling throughout the house. I have an Alesis Command kit and there is plenty of bottom end, especially in the kick. There is also tons of volume available for my purposes…using it strictly for practicing. Highly recommend the Strike 8.

Love it
Got two of these to go with my new Strata Prime kit. The are loud and clear.
Nice, but not as much horsepower as expected...
It's a quality product with good sound and useful features (especially the bass cut and Bluetooth), but with 2,000 watts of power, I was expecting it to be as loud & room-filling as a rock/pop drummer with a regular drum set. That was definitely not the case. Nevertheless, I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of it (thanks to the Bluetooth and its ability to work as monitor) and it seems well built.
And of course, the Sweetwater service was (as always) stellar.
Suddenly stopped working
I was very impressed with the sound quality from this speaker. Has enough connections enabling multiple ways of wiring to my ekit. I don't transport this speaker anywhere, its on a kit that I use to record. One day I turned on my kit, a d hit the kick drum to surprised to hear nothing. Checked all the connections, nothing, tried connecting via Bluetooth and nothing there either. So now have a 21lb door stop and shopping around for a better quality amplifier for my kit.
