- I've Had This Unit 4 A Minute, Decided 2 Dig It Out, Put A Lil' Air In The Tires & Take It Around Da Block 1 Mo' Agin!!! My Daughter Gave Me A Gift Card 4 Father's Day, So I Picked Up An Electronic Hi-Hat Pedal 2 Sexxxy It Up A Lil' Bit!!! What'cha Think???
I Also Added A Link 2 A 2nd Video I Created So U Can See My Actual Foot Pedal Setup.
• Alesis Sample Pad Pro ...
The first and possibly ONLY video of this machine, that relies on drumming skills as opposed to playing along with samples.
Fine playing!
This is exactly what I would want this for.
Sub'd
Appreciate It, I'm Only Scratching Surface Here, But Itz Doin' What I Need It 2 Do!!!
I second this comment. Finally someone who plays ON TIME !
What kind of kick pedal and hihat pedal are you using.
And that is HOW IT'S DONE! 👍
Just Having Fun As I Be Tryin' 2 Make It Sound Halfway Decent!!! Thanxxx!!!
Amazing drummer
I Appreciate It..., Bcuz In My Mind I Am Dave Weckl, John Bonham, Neil Peart, & John Blackwell All Rolled Up Into One!!! NOT!!! LOL!!! But We Can All Dream!!! ROFLMAO!!!
Really nice rolls and fills. Fresh routine!
Thankkk QQQ I Was Just Testing It Out & Having Some Fun!!!
@@TheBrotherALJ - Your joy is infectious!
Just bought one of these. I’m not a drummer and can’t make it sound nearly this good but awesome to see what it can do!
If U Get An SD Card For Storage & Tweak The Existing Kits 2 UR Taste, U Can DEFINITELY Have A Lil' Fun With This Unit!!!
Big variety in a small package. Awesome!!!
Yes It Is As I DID NOT Want 2 Spend A Fortune When I Picked It Up, But I Wanted Some Generic Drums Sounds I Could Use In A Pinch!!! Xspecially Kewl If U Want 2 Add Handclaps & Finger Snaps 2 UR Acoustic Drum Kit Grooves!!!
my god my man , no way i was expecting the jams you magically made appear out of that thing, def gonna have to look into one myself. i had an electric kit but was taking up to much space. this would be perfect
I Was Going 2 Get An Electric Kit!!! I Wanted The Roland Mesh Head Unit (too expensive for my budget), Then My Son (who's a drummer too) Brought The Alesis Command Unit For Around $600 Bucks!!! I Like It, Thought It Was Kewl, But As U Said, I Have My Regular BIG AZZ Drum Set, My Studio Gear, My DJ Gear, Crates Of Vinyl Records & Space Iz At A Premium!!! LOL!!! So This Alesis Drum Pad Filled In Quite Nicely 4 Now!!! In The Movie Jaws After Cyin' The Shark Roy Said, "I Think We Need A Bigger Boat!!!" Well With All This Daggone Gear..., "I THINK I NEED A BIGGER HOUSE!!! THANXXX!!!
Alesis, sponsor this man
ROFLMAO!!! I Wish They Would Bcuz I Could Use Some "NEW GEAR" (can't we all?) & I See A Lotta Nice Stuff In Their Catalog That Has My Name On It Bcuz..., U CANNOT Spell Alesis W/O The Letters "AL"!!! Shhh!!! LMAO!!!
You have skills my brother!
I Appreciate The Commentary!!!
great groovin and so much fun at it. love your faces :D
"Thank you baby girl!" ❤
Awesome!!! This was to watch good brotha... Thanks so much for sharing...
I Appreciate Y'all 4 Stopping In 2 Check It Out. All This Tyme I Just Made This Video 4 Myself 2 Capture The Sounds & LQQK At All U Folks Who Popped In 2 Show A Lil' Luv??? I Am Surprisingly Over Joyed!!! LOL!!!
Got me one literally just yesterday... and just scratching the surface of it's ability.
Indeed Bcuz I Am ALWAYZ Impressed What The Engineer Types Pack Inside All Of Our Gear Where We Literally Scratch The Surface Of ALL That It Can Truly Do. Keep Xperimenting As U Just Never Know What U Will Discover In The Process!!!
Talented
Thankkk QQQ!!!
Ty fer any electronic drum vids you put up
Well done sir
Thanxxx 4 The Comment!!!
Great demo thanks!

Standing ovations.....
This was a big performance man !!!!!

Tight!
Thankkk QQQ!!!
Fantastic
Nice jam ! 👍
Im sold, I wanted to get a full electronic drum set for laying down drums in fl but i don't have space
Definitely getting this now thank you sir much love from Baltimore Maryland
Amazinnng
Im gonna add the Alesis sample pro to my production arsenal in my studio, More producers are going back to hands on equipment these days & moving away from production straight into the box (computer)
Nice, demo~
That Iz Xcatly Why I Dug It Out Since I Don't Believe There Iz Simply 1 Way 2 Get UR Creative Thoughtz Out. This Gives Me Anotha Avenue 2 Xplore Whether I Want 2 Use Live Drums, Programmed Computa PC Beats, Or Playin' The Pads Themselves. They Will All Make U Think Differently In How U Construct UR Songs..., So Use Every Single Thang U Can Get UR Hands On!!! Thanxxx 4 Da Comment!!!
Nice!!!
I have 4 pad version love it plus use 4 vst synth
Outstanding drumming! Cheers, Malcolm. You said you are using a high hat pedal...are those expensive? and are there other pedals that you use, such asa kick pedal for bass drum? Thanks.
Thankkk QQQ!!! I Don't Remember The Exact Cost Of The Hi-Hat Pedal I Have..., But I Think It Was Btwn $50-60 Bucks!!! I Also Use A Very Old Kat Drum Kick Pedal (that I brought with the old Kat Drum Pad) Back In The Day. The Unit Died..., But The Kick Pedal Continues 2 Go On Strong!!! U DO NOT Have 2 Break The Bank On Pedals, U Just Need 2 Find Those That Can Work With UR Unit, (almost all of them these days), & Away U Go!!!
Please show how to program the hihat controller to work also please ve advised what brand of the hihat pedal is compatible with Alesis samplepad pro . Thank you
Well Tuanngo I DO NOT Think U Have 2 Be "BRAND SPECIFIC" aka (Yamaha Pedal with Yamaha Unit, Roland Pedal With Roland Unit, or Alesis Pedal With Alesis Unit, etc.) For The Most Part NE Pedal From NE Manufacturer Should Work With NE Drum Unit!!! There May Be A Few Quirky 1's Here & There That WILL NOT Work For Some Krazy Reason, But Most Of 2day's Gear Iz Universal..., So Itz Simply "PLUG & PLAY!!!" There Are 1/4 Jacks On The Back Of The Unit, 1 Is For A Hi-Hat Pedal & The Other Iz 4 The Kick Drum Pedal. Just Plug Them In & Away U Go, No Special Programming Required!!!
Amazing demo!! What hi hat pedal and kick drum are you using? About to pull the trigger and buy the Alesis sample pad pro myself, but I want to get as close to a kit as I can. Thanks in advance and great playing!!
Hey Dave Ohhhhhh Thanxxx 4 The Comment!!! LOL!!! I Have An Old Fat Kat Kik Pedal From Waayyyyy Back In The Day That Came With My Midi KAT Drum Controller That Had Pads Shaped Like A Cat's Head. I Am Sure That Kit Kat Pedal Is Long Discontinued & The Hi-Hat Pedal Has No Brand Name..., But It Is Model# PDL-HH191. These Units Are Designed 2 Work With NE Basic Trigger Type Pedal, So U Can Get Whatever 1 U Like Or Are Comfortable With..., & Away You Go!!!
Came for the Alesis; stayed for the calm, soothing voice. Truthfully, I was going to ask your opinion about whether this would be a good first purchase for someone whom has never played the drums. Would I be a bother to ask?
Edit: I just read your replies to the other posts, so now I know more. I read "Polk Audio Subwoofer." This is going to cost me a fortune, isn't it? lol
No Bother At All Betty, But As A 1st Purchase It Depends What You're Really LQQKIN' 4??? As A Drummer If I Wanted 2 Buy Electronic Drums I Would Buy The More Xpensive Electronic Drum Kit That You Sit Inside Of The Way You Do A Real Drum Kit. It Would Have All The Different Pieces (snare drum, kick drum, tom toms, cymbals) Just Like An Acoustic Drum Kit But It Plugs In As An Electronic Kit. This Kit Would Be Xpensive & They Start Around $600 Going All The Way Up To Like $6,000 Depending On What U Get. Here's A Link To Check One Out!!! ruclips.net/video/I9BdpdzR9AY/видео.html
The Pads U See Me Playing In This Video Are DEFINITELY Fun & A Much Cheaper Option. Depending On UR Sound System (yes, i have a subwoofer in mine's) Will Help It Sound That Much Better. The Good Thing??? U Don't Need A Subwoofer Or Speakers 4 That Matter As U Can Always Just Plug UR Headphones Into It & Rock The Night Away Grooving By Yourself. I Would Recommend Purchasing 2 Foot Pedals Though (one for your bass drum sound & one for the hi-hat). You can play them both from the pads, but in order to get that real four-limbed drummer feel, the pedals will help give you that. So U Can Spend A Lot Or A Little & Still Have The Same Amount Of Fun.
@@TheBrotherALJ Wow, you are such a cool person. Thank you for your kind reply. Okay, let me go to the link so I can delve into this. I do want that four limbed feeling, too. You hit the nail right on the head. I’m thinking to spend about a grand, but I’ll have to wait on some of it. It’s just that I have wanted to do this for years. If I don’t get to it, well, I’m 64. I really shouldn’t waste any more time, you know? lol
@@elizabetholiviaclark Well Don't Believe The Hype Or Let My Movie Star "GOOD LQQKS" Fool Ya!!! ROFLMAO!!! Like U I Am Also In The "SIX DECADE CLUB" Turning 62 In December!!! So Itz NEVER EVER Too Late 4 UR Passion. Case In Point..., I Am Currently Working On My 3rd Solo CD Project & It Took Me Turning 60 Before I Released My 1st After Having Been Doing Muzak 4ever!!! LOL!!!

Hey there...I see you've got a FatKat pedal from Alternate Mode - that's old school for sure! Kat was the best back in the day. What are you using for your hi-hat pedal?
OMG!!! I Loved The Old Kat Drum Pad Unit With The Lil' Ears At The Top When I 1st Got It!!! After It Died..., The Only Thing That Kept Working Was The Bass Drum Pedal, So I Held On 2 It After All These Years.
The Hi-Hat Pedal Iz A No Brand Name Unit..., That I Picked Up Off Of Amazon. It Says It Iz Model# PDL-HH191. These Type Of Units Are Designed 2 Work With NE Basic Trigger Type Pedal, So U Can Get Whichever 1 U Like & Away You Go!!!
Oh yeah, I loved Kat - I had the original with the kitty-cat looking bass drum pad, the Turbo XT and the Trapkat which looked like a stealth fighter, lol. Dauz was another great maker of pads and triggers. Since you know the feel of the Kat pads, how would you say the Alesis Sample Pad Pro surface feels compared to that? Are they as sensitive as the Kat stuff? How loud are they when you're hitting them? I'm looking at the Alesis as a playing surface only since I run everything through software so the feel and responsiveness is what I'm after....without having to spend too much of course, lol@@TheBrotherALJ
@@dankenton As A Baby Boomer, I Never Wanted 2 Be 1 Of Those "The Muzak From My Era Sounds So Much Better Than The Crap This Generation Lissens 2" Type!!! So I Feel The Same Way About The Evolution Of Equipment As The Tymes & Technology Changes 2 Make Each ERA Equally As Relevant.
As An Ole Skool Dude, I LOVED The Feel Of The Old KitKat Pads As As They Had Quite A Bit Of Rebound In Them Per My Taste. The Alesis Sample Pro Pad's Seem To Be Thicker, But Give A Similar Rebound Feel. Itz Better Than Playing On A Practice Pad, But Not As Sexxxy As Playing On A Roland Electronic Drum Kit Mesh Head.
As Far As The Sensitivity Goes, I Find That I Have Go Into The Internal Settings 2 Adjust My Snare Drum/Bass Drum Velocities 2 Help Balance Out The Sound 4 How I Play Them. This Allows Me The Ability 2 Tweak Them Per My Taste.
1nce I Make Those Adjustments I Can Play The Pads Accordingly 2 Make Them Feel The Way I Hear Them Sounding In My Head.
@@TheBrotherALJ Thanks for that info - always need to tweak to taste to fit with your mojo ;-)
How often did you experience any crosstalk problems?
Hi. Very nice drumming. Do you set 2 pads for the Hi-hat (one open and one closed)? or does your Hi-hat pedal open and close to make the "swoosh" sound (choking)? I just ordered this Alesis. I played my friend's and loved the sound but couldn't get the Hi-hat pedal to choke. Thanks.
Thanxxx & Great Question Jill!!! This Iz How I Typically Use It. On The Unit Itself I Have A Pad Set Up 4 A Closed Hi-Hat Sound & A Pad Set Up 4 An Open Hi-Hat Sound. If I Bounce Up & Down On The Hi-Hat Pedal I Can Get That Chunka-Chunka Sound As If UR Keeping Quarter Notes With UR Left Foot Whilst UR Groovin'. Or I Can Hit The Closed Hi-Hat Pad With My Foot On The Pedal, Then Lift It Up 2 Get That Traditional Open Hi-Hat Sound As U Would On A Real Drum Set. I Was Actually Impressed With How Responsive The Unit Was & Well It Worked!!! I Would Suggest U Xperiment 2 Get The Feel That U Think Iz Right 4 U!!! I Would However Recommend U DEFINITELY Get Both A Hi-Hat & Bass Drum Pedal Rather Than Play Them Off The Pads With Sticks In UR Hand. This Way U Capture The Feel As U Would Do Sitting Down At A Regular Drum Set!!!
@@TheBrotherALJ THANK YOU for the helpful response!
Hello, is it possible to connect to a Akai MPC X Pro?
I just saw Alesis and clicked. What is the kick drum part of your existing system or the drum unit?
What U Were Hearing Was Not The True Sound Of The Kik Drum In The Unit..., I Had It Pumpin' Thru My Speaker System With A Lil' EQ But Mostly U Were Hearing The Thump Of My Polk Audio Subwoofer!!! That Sucka Makes ALL The Difference In The DEPTH Of Da Bottom!!!
Sounds a bit loud, too bad.. I need something like this, but can‘t be havin a war with neighbours..
Decaen, Itz Not Really All That Loud. I Made It That Loud Bcuz I Have Speakers & A Subwoofer Connected Up 2 My System Cause I Wanted U 2 Feel That THUMP!!! You Could Do 2 Things 2 Appease UR Neighbors. #1 You Simply DO NOT Have 2 Play It As Loudly As I Did, So Just By Turning Down The Volume That Could Help You Out. But Even More Importantly #2 Bcuz It Iz An Electronic Unit U Can Actually Plug Headphones Into It Thereby Not Having The Volume Go Out Live Thru UR Speakers. The Only Thing UR Neighbors Would Hear Then Iz The Sound Of U Hitting The Pads With The Sticks. Kind Of Like If You Were Hitting UR Sticks Against UR Kitchen Table. Just A Lil' Sumthin' Sumthin' 2 Think About In Case UR In The Market & Thinking About Going Electronic. Don't Let My LOUD AZZ Drumming Throw U Off!!! ROFLMAO!!!
@@TheBrotherALJ hey man, thanks for the reply. I actually did mean the hits on the thing. It sounds like hitting wood. It’s sounds like someone hammering when you listen to it outside my flat.
I had a mesh drum kit, and was a lot quieter.
Now Ive moved to a new place, and have less space so I look for an alternative in these little things.
I am a heavy hitter 😂
But I will give it a go, maybe put some kind of layer on top of the pads, but before that I have to check if Thomanns Nonapad supports a kick tower with piezo trigger..
It costs like half of the alesis , and seems pretty good for the price.
Greetings from Germany!
Which kick pedal do you use?
Is it reliable? Durable??? Please let me know
So Far So Good As I've Had It For Years..., But Itz Not Like I Play It Everyday The Way I Do Play My Acoustic Drumset. I Am Very Happy With The Unit Tho' As U Can See!!!
@@TheBrotherALJ 👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
How do you play the kick?
I Have An Old "KAT" Kick Drum Pedal That Plugs Into The Back Of This Unit That I Use. Instead Of Having A Beater That Would Hit A Bass Drum Head, When I Step On The Pedal It Hits A Switch That Triggers The Alesis Unit. U Can Use Almost NE Type Of Electronic Drum Pedal. Thanxxx!!!
@@TheBrotherALJ exelent!! In another video can you show that pleaseee???
@@EspiriG Okay U Have Inspired Me 2 Make A Part 2 So U Can See How I Utilize The Pedals 2 Play The Alesis Sample Pad Pro. ruclips.net/video/PhkgdjNICa0/видео.html
