Make Your Sound Your Own
You’ve worked hard to perfect your style. It’s yours and yours alone. You have your favorite sticks-just the right weight and length. You love playing those long triplet fills. No one is going to mistake your playing for someone else’s. The same thing with your sound-it has to be uniquely yours. You’ve honed everything about your playing to be “just right.” Don’t trust your sound to an ordinary speaker. You need the Alesis Strike Amp 12 powered drumming speaker.
2000 Watts of Room-Shaking Power
With 2000 watts of explosive bi-amplified power and super high-performance transducers, this speaker will always play loud and clear, in any space, in any situation-whether you’re performing, recording or rehearsing. The heavy-duty 12-inch low-frequency driver really adds the “kick” to kickdrum. And the high-frequency compression driver in its computer-optimized waveguide conveys all the brilliance and snap of your snare drum and cymbals. Power. Precision. Drama. Using the Strike Amp 12 is like driving a race car that’s absolutely glued to the track and it never run out of horsepower. HFS.
Feature Packed - The BEST Amp to Power Your Drums!
But there’s a lot more to this speaker than just pure power. A lot more. The Strike Amp 12 has all the versatility and features needed to fit in anywhere and it’s a snap to set up and use. You can use it vertically or tilt it back horizontally like a stage monitor. There’s an XLR output to link another Strike Amp 12 or send your performance to another input device. Need to customize the sound for that “just right” tone? Use the Contour EQ control. And the (2) XLR/TRS 1/4-inch combo inputs with independent volume controls and clip indicator means there is virtually unlimited hookup versatility and you’ll never unknowingly overdrive the speaker into distortion.
With its handsome, refined appearance, lightweight but rugged construction and versatile user interface, the Strike Amp 12 is the ideal powered drumming speaker for everyone playing an electronic kit. You’re not just any drummer. Don’t settle for just any speaker. Amazon links may be paid links

I had been looking for a dedicated powered speaker as an alternative to running my acoustic kick trigger through my practice space PA, and came across this... This being an amp that's purpose built and meant to handle the low end of a bass drum, etc. has been an absolute godsend.
Do you own one? How is the low end? Does it thump good? Using a TD25 and want to be able to be loud
@@randymccoy2527 Yeah, I love mine. I trigger my acoustic kick through a Roland TM2 module and a RT30K kick trigger. It has a ton of low end and is plenty loud enough to be easily heard over my acoustic kit.
So far are you still happy with it? I see so many people saying the tweeter doesn't last
Thank you for this. I have been waiting forever for a proper review of this item.
This guy really knows his stuff!!
How does this compare to the Simmons DA2112?
I like your videos. It's clear you know your stuff from a long and storied career. It feels like you film after hours, after the "Closed" sign has gone up, somewhere in NY ! GOOD STUFF !
I know im asking randomly but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Miles Parker Instablaster ;)
@Bruno Duncan Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Bruno Duncan it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out :D
@Miles Parker Happy to help =)
Great review that covers everything ...Kudos
An incredibly thorough review...THANK YOU.
Great video, thank you for sharing Sir !
Thks For the excellent Video ! question which one between Alto TS and Alesis you recommended for run a Bass guitar? ( I'm using my bass directly through a SansAmp preamp ) I'm looking for a versatile option with Good Bass, maybe Alesis DSP ( bass Frequencys) could be More accurate for that porpoise?! Thsk again
This was USEFUL! Thank you!
Thanks for Watching
Great video. Very informative. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for Watching
currently playing guitar through this amp with my helix .. sounds killer and very loud
@Christian Macias it sounds good. The only thing I can compare it to is nice studio powered monitors which sound amazing.
@@love4steel Awesome to hear. I was about to buy this for my wife’s new electronic drums but good to know I can also connect my kemper as well 🎸🤘🏼👍🏼
Great review! Thank you.
Waaooo!! Juste with mic! Very Good!
Lol the detailed review man!
🌴 Thank you 😀
great review! can you please advise me on how can i connect the strike amp to my usb dac?
great video , thanks for this
I blew the Tweeter in mine And I put another tweeter in there and it blew it too so what do I replace it with just wondering how many ohms this Is what would be the right tweeter to put replace it with
sirve para pedaleras digitales como la caja headrush?
Great video ! It looks like the video was dated two years ago. I need to ask a few questions. I was given a electronic drum set , my first one. I practice at my church, outside under a pavilion which is on 10 acres. I need something like this to plug my electronic drum set into, and my cell phone to send music thru from youtube so I can practice . The two other things are, I need to plug in a mic, as I also sing to a few songs, and I want it loud, very loud ! I am the type of guy that likes overkill on everything, my motorcycle, my muscle car, and now this. What few options would you recommend ? I am in electronic drum class 101 here. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Does this have more power than the Simmons DA2110? I bought a DA2110 for a small gig and it was woefully underpowered. I had to crank the volume on Titan 50 module and on the amp to max and it still wasn't loud enough. I'm not convinced the DA2112 will be much better so does anyone have a recommendation for an amp or powered speaker with some serious punch? Would like to keep it simple (single unit) for small gigs.
hey man, 7 months later, did you get this amp or any other? I would also like to get a single unit for small gigs and I'm unsure of what to pick 'cause there's so many options
Would it last longer than the Alto though? I've been using a TS312 as a drum monitor for gigs and I'm on my 5th tweeter for it! I love the sound of it but just doesn't seem to last long...
Do they make a travel cover?
hi, can i use one alto ts312 and one alesis strike 12 as a stereo pair for banquets or dj mixes? Do they sound similar, or should I buy a second alto ts312? (I have one).
I have the eon jbl 15 I used last night couldn't hear on stage need something I and band need to hear will these work. I'm not impressed with my pair of jbl eon 15s
when can we expect a review for the 8" variant of this ??
Will it sound good for drum machines like beatbuddy pedal?
For Sure.... beatbuddy pedal is very Cool Just watch a video on it. the Headrush FRFR112 will also do a great job for you.
Anyone know what kind of tweeter is in this ?
Looks like Alto and Headrush on the back panel.
Ken Cama it is but it's about 50$ more than the Headrush, your paying extra for a logo is all.
Watch the friggin' video, Einstein.
all 3 made by InMusic company
@@sgt.thundercok4704 lmao
My 12 inch speaker went bad, does anyone know what ohms it is?
I am using the Alesis STRIKE AMP 12 with a Roland Elcetric Kit and I also play music through it to play along to. The sound quality of the drums and music is awefull and it sounds like I am under water. Am I doing something wrong?
I have an alto ts315, and I am having the same issue. Everything is very bassy. I am assuming in need to get some sort of equalizer to clean the sound going through and cut out all the bass to let the higher frequency stuff be clearer. I could be very wrong, I only recently got the PA speakers, and I am still researching exactly what I need to do to clean the sound up.
Did you ever figure it out ? Was thinking about getting this for some electric drums. Is not very good for a Roland e drum kit?
So let me ask you this:
I am a guitar player who has recently jumped into playing drum. I purchased this speaker to go with my Alesis Nitro Max kit. Can I also use this speaker to amplify a guitar modler like a Helix? 🤔
🌴For Me it has always been the DSP setting built in the speaker when you look at the FRFR-12 vs the Strike AMP-12. if your happy with the Sound, Note it's more a coke vs Pepsi not a good vs bad thing. Then you are Good to go. 🌴😁
Thanks for the reply. I’ll take that as a “give it a go and see what you think” 😊
Is the Roland PM200 better?
awesome
Thanks
@@expertisland Thank you for your videos
Not much going on the back panel...looks a lot like Altos...guess this spkr not catered to DJs. Middle logo has to go....thank you island great video as always 👍!
Have used the Alesis transactive drum monitor 100 watt 10" speaker that worked remarkably well for a 10" speaker, but I sold em to use 2-Yamaha 12" Dsx mkii 1020watt 134db subs with 2- headrush 108 2000 watt 8' tops for my Roland td17/Alesis/Yamaha/ kit, it sounds better than two of these I can guarantee that!!
Hi Sir Is it compatible use for DD75 yamaha electric drums? thanks in advance who response
Yes, it is. This speaker will work with any electronic drum set that has 1/4" output.
I tried playing a play along track from my iPad on this to play my acoustic kit along with but any volume above 3 made a distinct distorted sound do I need to add a mixer will that help 😀
The total volume going to you Amp on the speaker is based on the sum total of the iPad Gain ( volume ) + the gain on the back of the speaker. look at it like 50% iPad volume + 50% Speaker gain also make sure to use the right cable look for this on amazon ( 1/8" TRS to Dual 6.35mm 1/4" TS Mono Stereo Y-Cable )
Thanks for the reply much appreciated I’ll work on this information 👍👍
Would this be good for sing?
I'm using two of these on top of some Yamaha subs they work great as mains
Have you/can you do a video on Simmons drum amps?
I will see what I can do.
@@expertisland I feel this video is pretty much the same as it would be for the Simmons amps. Just different brand really. Love your channel! Love learning and there’s a lot haha
The headrush is $40 -$50 cheaper for the same thing!?!?!!
I wonder what this would sound like with good keyboard drums vs a keyboard amp?? anyone?
This is obviously and older comment but I would guess the drum amp would sound much more accurate for keyboard drums VS the keyboard amp.
Especially if you get the 12 inch woofer. 2,000 watts is pretty damn decent.
I think if it could have low-mid-high controller or DB controller it should be perfect.
I just bought the Strike pro special edition and the rep from Kraft music sold me on the Strike pro 12 speaker. Little did he mention that I'll need 2 of them in order for it to work. Is there any way I can play with just 1? I'm not tech savy. I'm kinda pissed.
Im guessing don't use the stereo output unless you are using 2 amps. Use mono for 1 amp
course you can play with 1,
its a stand alone monitor.
Just use the left (mono) output from your Strike module it's left and right summed together, but if you want the most out of your kit you need two of em for stereo. That's the beauty of buying gear is that when you buy better gear you gotta get better gear to hear your better gear you just bought, it's a vicious cycle!!
@@fabianvasquezjr8852 man you're so right...we're sucked in in an endless money pit 🙈
Can use these for Djing? I need some floor monitors
better to use an alto TS412 or TS410
@@expertisland you think the Altos better than the Mackie Thump Series?
Alto TS4 vs Mackie Thump both good but I Like the Alto, is like coke vs pepsi
I use the Alesis for my DJ set up. It sounds great. Very full sound.
Has anybody used the Alesis to play music? I have exact the same here and when I play music to it, the sound comes out as it had a delay effect and no middles. Doesn’t sound as in this video at all…
What are you pluging in to it and what cable are you using.
@@expertisland I tried to plug different itens:
- line out from Alexa dot with TRS cable
- iPhone adapter from lightning to p4 using a TRS cable
- then tried connecting each one to focusrite interface with same TRS cable and focusrite output to the amp with TRS cable.
Always same result: it sounds like it is suppressing middles/voice. Beyond that, sometimes it sounds like if the DSP is overloaded and missing some bits.
I connected same config to a PA with other speakers and it worked well.
I thought my amp was defective, but when I plugged my TFD17 with the same TRS cable and played music from my iPhone via Bluetooth (iPhone > bluetooth to TD17 > TRS to Strikeamp12) then the sound plays beautifully.
Can I run a beat machine through is?
Hell yea you can, they make a great cheap pa speaker when not in flat response mode but you'll be longing for more thump from a sub to push your 808 type kiks. Two of these and a 15" sub would be great for a beat machine.
Could one use use this to jam along to tunes on a acoustic kit?
*I Replied to you question in my Q&A Video here is the link **ruclips.net/video/G5ECEgf_oAY/видео.html*
Would this be good for synthesizer❓
I would say yes.
Ok me and my buddy have small studio and I'm looking for something that can multi task a bit. We have midi keyboard singer guitar and alesis strike pro se. I would love to see a good comparison between this and the simmons 2112 for all purpose pa speaker
Did you get alesis after all? I have got it but sounds really bad for music.
all-in-one multiple intruments simulatneously? PA speakers on a stand + mixer. It will cover everything from edrums, guitars, bass, keyboards and vocals
I'd guess a lot of people see the outrageous wattage claim and don't take it seriously.
would these speakers work better than the jbl 12 with microphones on reg set like Slingerland drums
IT'S BASICALLY A ALTO SPEAKER LOL
1 of 3.
This speaker is 3 ft long
The camera angle makes it look huge
You are a hobbit
I don't like Alesis anymore after my Alesis sample pad pro experience.
All highs and mids, not much bass.
Why in gods name would you need 2000 watts?? A cranked 40 watt amp will pretty much deafen you. I guess if you’re playing stadiums? But like how hot does that thing get and how far does that cone travel when you’re shoveling 2000 watts of power into it. I mean that’s literally more power than a toaster oven and the coil on the speaker is around the same size as the wires in a toaster oven. Bet it gets hot enough to fry an egg.
That’s 2000 peak not rms it’s actually like 350-500 in that neighborhood
The problem is bands really don’t play instruments 🎹 🎸🥁 anymore they just play the computer 💻
