Description

Alesis Strata Core Kit E-Drum Set: Professional E-Drum Set with 7-inch touchscreen module

The Alesis Strata Core Kit offers a powerful and compact e-drum set that rivals even much more expensive alternatives. Despite its small footprint, it delivers exceptional sound quality and a realistic playing feel, making it suitable for both advanced and professional drummers. Every detail of the Strata Core is designed to deliver a natural and responsive playing experience. This includes the fully adjustable mesh heads, the 360-degree ARC cymbals and the precise Active Magnetic Hi-Hat system.

First-class playing feel and space-saving design

The Strata Core Kit is characterized by a clever design that offers optimum playing comfort without taking up too much space. The dual-zone mesh toms (two 8-inch and one 10-inch tom) provide a realistic feel. Thanks to the patented anti-hotspot sensor system (U.S. Patent 9,424,827), unnatural playing zones are prevented. The 12-inch dual-zone mesh snare drum and 12-inch hi-hat provide familiar playability, while the 8-inch kick drum tower with mesh head supports both single and double kick pedal setups for comfort.

ARC cymbals for maximum sensitivity

The cymbals of the Strata Core consist of three 360-degree ARC cymbals - a 14-inch ride and two 12-inch crashes, all with a triple-zone design. This means that each cymbal zone (bell, bow and edge) produces different sounds and is extremely sensitive to impact. These cymbals have a gelled surface that ensures natural swinging behavior. They can be mounted on standard stands like acoustic cymbals, which allows for a free, realistic playing feel. Thanks to the patented dual-edge sensors, these cymbals offer a high level of expressiveness.

Precise and responsive Active Magnetic Hi-Hat system

The Strata Core 's 12-inch Active Magnetic Hi-Hat offers contactless, magnetic control and can be connected to conventional hi-hat stands. This innovative system provides an extremely precise playing feel and allows the finest control over the opening and closing of the hi-hat. With the 360-degree triple zone design, every playing technique can be fully utilized, making it behave like an acoustic instrument.

Robust hardware and flexible mounting options

The backbone of the Strata Core Kit is a curved steel rack with reinforced mounts, providing maximum stability and flexibility. All drums and cymbals can be mounted in the optimum position, making the kit both space-saving and ergonomically adaptable. The crash and ride cymbals can be mounted on standard stands, while the kick tower is designed to be compatible with all common pedal configurations. Note that the hi-hat stand and kick pedal are sold separately.

Strata Core Module: Centerpiece with powerful BFD sound engine

The heart of the Strata Core is the powerful drum module with a 7-inch touchscreen display. The module is based on the renowned BFD sound engine and is powered by a multi-core processor.
