- I review the latest Alesis Nitro Max! (Link 👉) drumhelper.com/recommends/ale...
The Alesis Nitro Mesh has been one of my top recommended beginner electronic drum kits for several years. It’s a great kit, but it may become a thing of the past with Alesis releasing their new Nitro Max version.
In this review, we look at all the features of the Alesis Nitro Max. I share my experience with it, and compare the features to what came before on the classic Nitro Mesh kit.

Perfect review! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!!
Informative 👏🏼
Not really a beginner drummer by any means but I picked this up for band practice.added on the expansion pack and another kick tower and just used a y cable. Works perfect. Sure beats hauling my Yamaha double bass kit to practice. This kit takes up 1/3 of the room in my van and setup time is mere minutes.
Awesome idea!
Great video!
I am getting closer and closer to getting one of these :)
Do it! Can't go wrong with this kit for the price.
@@GideonWaxmanHey Gideon thanks for posting your review on the max. I had the alesis mesh and am considering getting the max. In your opinion, does this kit offer more versatility with the 440 sounds on the module to play pretty much any song? Idk exactly how many sounds the mesh had
@@GideonWaxman UPDATE: Kit was ordered and should arrive today.
@@RonGivensRasta Awesome!
Epic! Such a great kit. While it doesn’t have the Roland sound quality, I definitely think it beats everything when it comes to value. I’d totally recommend this to a beginner over anything else. Even to someone who just wants something affordable.
Oh absolutely, in terms of value for money this is as good as it gets IMO
I use this for gigs, beats my Roland TD11KV by a mile.
@@IansDrumsandBass are you using the default sounds, editing a kit, or did you buy other kit packs?
@@IansDrumsandBass so do you recommend buying new nitro max over a used td17 KL or other alternative from roland?
@@mathy0u sorry, only saw this now. No, I build my own kits. The factory kits on most modules aren't very good.

Hey Gideon, great review. One thing, you mentioned that this kit sits quite low, I'm 6ft 3" so do you think I will have a challenge from a height perspective?
Hi Andy, thanks for your comment! To be honest I think you might have a struggle playing this comfortably due to your height. I'd suggest going to a music store and trying some out!
When I setup my DW5000's to play double bass, I noticed the triplets or faster on the kick did not trigger all the hits, did you have to update the settings to get it to work properly?
Yes I sometimes noticed that too. I think that's just the nature of what you can expect at this price point, it's not always going to be perfect. Try adjusting the position of where the beaters hit the pad to make them both as central as possible!
Hi, can you help me with a question, is this Kick Pad compatible with the Tama Speed Cobra?
Yes easily for the single pedal but it's a bit more tricky with the double. But I made it work.
Seriously thinking of getting this im a drummer of 35yrs and looking for something good and great value to play thinking of the expansion kit .? Would you really recommend or should i go for like td7 by roland cheers
It's up there with the best value for money kits. But if you're a drummer of 35 years you might want something with better playability features. But if you just want something to practice on then this is perfect!
Can you tell me what type of double bass pedal you use in the video?
It's a Tama Speed Cobra double pedal. :)
How can I balance kit patch seperately..? Help me about this..
I can't decide between nux dm 210 and alesis nitro max. nux has a better chassis, but do you think alesis or nux is better in terms of sound, feeling and sensitivity?
In terms of entry level electronic kits this is the best, hands down.
Hey I’m gonna get this kit and I’m wondering how to rearrange my Tom 2 and put it as my second floor Tom because I play with only 1 Tom so I’m wondering how to rearrange my Tom 2 to a second floor Tom?
I think it'll be easy to do, you just need to take off the clamp and tom from the top bar and put it onto the lower one. I haven't done it myself however.
Those snare ghosts actually Sound pretty decent
Yeah I was definitely impressed with the snare!
Why such a crappy rack tho 😖
@@woutervanwijk4369 It's a cheap kit and they need to keep costs now. Alesis just released their new flagship kit called Strata Prime and it's almost 10 times more expensive than the Nitro Max- the rack is significantly better as you can imagine!
Very nice
Can i use dw 3000 double foot pedal on this?
Yes you can. It might take some adjustment but I managed to get a double pedal working on this kit
Do you think it can support a 3 zone cymbal pad?
I don't think so but I'm not 100% sure!
new drummer here, I struggle with my kick pedal, im constantly doing a small double tap, if I try to bury it its worst, its like the bounce is overwhelming. any thoughts? might be technique but I seem to overcompensate to avoid that
Hi! I found it did this for me but very rarely. I think it's likely the kick trigger but it shouldn't happen as often as it is for you. If you bury the beater it shouldn't happen. Maybe email me a quick video of your technique and I can offer a couple of tips. - Gideon
I love the new max kit sounds awesome but who ever designed the Rack needs to be fired !!! Why didn't you just use the drum key for all the screws instead of that cheap little hex key ????? and charged $429.99 WTH Alesis
I agree I think it would be so much better if it was compatible with a drum key!
I think I dropped the key like 30 times putting this kit together
HAHA same
got them two days ago, still too loud for my neigbors :-/
Frustrating! E-kits don't get quieter than this unfortunately.
@@GideonWaxman yeah, gonna have to replace that kick pedal
You gotta replace your neighbors!
Can you crash the ride ?
Good question - I think you can but only on a few of the kits!
no
No, you can't. The rack is a crap and the ride don't have choke or can be use as a crash (one zone only) as the crash too. The overall sound is nice and the module is user friendly but the cymbals and the rack...
can i have this? lol
@VDJ4500
Sounds nothing like real drums ----------------------
@VDJ4500 You are just a jealous person because the Alesis Nitro Max set sounds amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🥁
First thing I’d do is Immediately throw away those cymbals and use acoustic cymbals!!!! They look and sound HORRIBLE!!!!🙄
That totally defeats the point of electronic drums. They are meant to be quiet! Plus, this is an extremely affordable electronic kit, there's way more premium options with better feeling cymbals like the Alesis Strata Prime.
