Thank you so much for this video. Im glad someone made an actual live playthrough instead of a short demo. I came here for the kit and left a fan. I subscribed and will continue following your band. P.s. my kit arrives in the mail today i cant wait to jam on it. Rock on \m/
Louis Town I just bought a used set for $200 in good condition. It’s an excellent kit that offers a ton of value. I’ve been playing for about a year or so. I would only consider upgrading if Im serious about drumming long-term, but other than that, this kit is awesome. It gets the job done and I can’t ask for more!
I enjoyed the demo. Listen to the whole thing! I came across it while attempting to justify me blowing $350 on the Alesis Nitro Mesh. I have now been revived! Also, you and the audience answered my question about the drums sticks and your recommendation was spot on! We can tell you did this in a couple of takes. You were winded by song 3 BUT 8 minutes later you caught stride and were ready for more. An awesome feat sir and thanks again.
Really enjoyed the compositions here!! Kit sounds great, I just bought one a few weeks ago and I've been watching your videos. Very cool stuff man thanks for sharing! Would you ever consider doing a video that shows how to map the pads to Addictive Drums 2 or even Superior Drummer, EZ Drummer etc? The triggers all work the moment I open my drums VST, but they are just all mapped wrong. I've watched videos on how to do this but I can't seem to figure out how to change the MIDI channel numbers (?) to make them correspond to the kits I have built using Addictive Drums 2. I'm assuming the mapping function works pretty similar across all the drum VST programs, it seems to be more about making sure the module is all properly set.
Thank you! Well I don't actually own either of those programs, but I have done something similar with the drum rack in ableton, maybe that will help you ruclips.net/video/3wuh6z5Awpk/видео.html
been watching your channel for quite some time and you were the one who made me want the alesis nitro mesh and I love it. it is a perfect starter kit for beginners and even for the ones who have been playing for a long time. love the video and what you have done with your set 🤘
Absolutely incredible set, my dude. Had been considering the kit and your videos really sold it. I made sure to use your link when I pulled the trigger (hope I did it right!). Your music is great and I'm looking forward to coming back as I begin on my own journey with this kit.
My kit gets here tomorrow. I can’t wait. For a $400 kit it sounds amazing. Sounds like I’ll be able to even record with it. Wooohooo!!! After watching this I am way more excited about getting my kit tomorrow.
Yooooo this is so sick you’re too good man definitely picking this up! I’m watching all of your videos and you got a new subscriber for sure. Thanks for making such great content! ❤️
nice kit! your videos help me out ALOT. i have an alesis surge at my home and i just ordered another ecymbal for my surge, i just thought you wanted to know. thanks for the amazing edrums videos, thank you.
That's so cool that you can play a different kit for every song if you want to. Big win for e-kits! I especially like that ride sound you programmed onto the rim of the second rack tom in the second song. I need to see what secrets I can unlock with my Roland TD-1KV. I'm not too savvy with expanding my options with software yet.
I am now a fan. This music is right up my alley. I love NewRetroWave-style electronic rock, but it needs live musicians to make it more interesting - that's what you've done with this performance. I've had a creative block lately, so I might try to create some guitar parts and play along with your video, just to give myself a challenge.
this kit is perfect for your gig, don't get fooled into paying 4k for a e gig set. get creative as you can see DS than made this kit sing. Awesome work sir.
Very nice ! I subscribed cause you've soo much info on the Nitro ! I own the Turbo and have just ordered the Nitro. What would be a good way to combine the two ? I would appreciate any ideas ! Great to see the Nitro in Action !
Thank you! Well, you'd need a larger rack, or maybe combine the two? As far as the sounds, you could just run the output of one module into the aux input of another.
Great stuff! What size carpet is the kit sitting on? I just ordered mine and would like to pre order the right size carpet before it comes. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Hi..first of all thanks for all your videos...tutorials...just want to ask.... what speaker do I have to buy to play and get the sound of the drums ....can I use the subwoofer of my house...for temporary usage....
You'd want to get an amp made specifically for drums, guitar and bass amps won't really work so well because of their limited frequency range. amzn.to/3r0UoGx
Thank you. Well any decent sounding headphones will work, but the headphone output of the Nitro is rather quiet. I just never used it. I would always plug my nitro into the audio interface and plug my headphones into that. It has a much higher headphone output.
First and foremost I love your videos brother. Helped me out tremendously. Second, do you have any recommendations for a good drum set monitor. Something that won’t break my bank. Thank you
Thank you Caleb! Well be sure to subscribe then. I do talk about that quite a bit on here, as well as have guests who talk about it too. A few nights ago we had a 6 performer live Zoom show and chat with all kinds of musicians and everyone was participating in the live chat. it was a lot of fun!
Nice playing! Is there a way to record the sounds directly from the nitro module instead of using a drum vst? I’ve got some custom kits I’ve made that I want to try out recording but I can’t figure out how to record the sounds from the module. I use Cakewalk by BandLab if that’s useful. Would appreciate any help!
This was awesome! I'm not a drummer but looking to buy one for my studio, wanna start adding performed drums instead of midi to improve quality for my clients. Do you think this is something that any drummer could sit on and comfortably start playing?
yes, but it's a bit on the small side, so keep that in mind. You may want to go up a notch to the surge amzn.to/3hNE7R5, this will give you a more sturdy and taller rack. The module is the same, and you may want to look into something like EZ Drummer to accommodate clients seeking more realistic sound drums.
How did u get the dual zone out of your #2 tom. On the second song you where playing ride on rim and tom on head. Did u just move your dual zone snare to the tom position?
Hey, I have had been wanting to stream for the longest time but I am not sure how to setup a stream with an audio interface. Your videos are so helpful with anyone with an Alesis Nitro LOL.
Well it depends on what exactly you want to stream.The audio settings in OBS allow you to select your audio interface you have the nitro plugged into. Also, it really helps if you have a video card that has nvenc encoding capabilities, so your CPU doesn't get bogged down from the stream.
They're aquarian X-10s amzn.to/2T0XZGd they're made from a graphite composite. They're great and last literally forever, pretty heavy though, so I stopped using them in the Nitro. I use LA Special 7a now amzn.to/3culWgH.
@@demonicsweaters So obviously the snare is in place of the tom and the tom is in place of the snare. Do you still plug on the ‘snare’ plug to the single zone tom? Or are they specific and you still need to plug in the snare to the real snare and just remember to change the sounds to ‘tom 2’ to be snare and ‘snare’ to be tom 2 and then bind the rim shot to ride? I want to set it up right in case one of them doesn’t work! Sorry for the funky question!
Is there a comprehensive list of the drum sounds/voices anywhere for the nitro module? I want to fine tune my set and make a couple of custom sets and a written list would make things so much easier!
You might have explained this on another video but I have two questions. How can I turn the metronome off when I want to record myself playing or is there an app that I can record directly to my phone to listen back? I just want to be able to sit down and kind of freeform play and then just listen to it to learn from. Thanks again for all the info!
Any audio recording app will work if you have the right cables. If you're using iPhone, I highly recommend Garageband, if on android, Audio Evolution is a good option. But for even simpler recording you can use the voice recorder apps.
When i use the voice recorder app with the auxiliary cable it only recordes the actual sound I'm bad not the internal sound of the drum or cymbal I had read where you can pick up a interface called iRig for Apple devices but do you know of an interface that can be used with Android devices? Or what cables do you think I would need to record from the module to my phone?
Hey buddy, let me ask you, I’ve been wondering how I could get a larger snare pad for this kit. I have the toms and the cymbals dialed in pretty nicely so they can be played with some musical dynamics. I even got the ride bell to work without having to crank the volume on the channel for that cymbal. It’s that tiny snare I wish were bigger.
Someone actually playing the kit!
Thanks man. Sounds fantastic!
Bought mine based solely on your review and vids...Killer!!!
Glad you like them!

Holy crap. I am getting very Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold vibes from Night Gallery. Awesome stuff!
Man that was dope. Picked up a nitro set just the other day. Freaking amazing kit.
Thanks so much!
I just got one in the box. I like the bell on the 2nd tom rim. Nice playing, I hope I can get my kit to sound that good live.
Rock on!
Great job. Thanks for the videos.

what are you using the Cathedral pedal with?Love this music and old school Sony cam vids!
I only used it on the first song, just for some ambience on the whole kit
I noticed you're hitting the rim on your second tom for cymbal sounds, that's not included in the nitro mesh kit. What upgrades did you do?
I just switched the tom and snare pads
I noticed that too. Well played sir
I just came here to watch the alesis mesh kit and i get into an Alternative concert

@@demonicsweaters doing good! Back out in AZ for the winter, working and doing vanlife. Just ordered some recording gear. How are you??
Cool tunes 😊 you think a Yamaha hi-hat controller would work with this kit? Mine seems off. 🤘
Probably not. Yamaha’s stuff is usually not compatible with other brands.
Your music is so fucking incredible
Good job
I love that Betamax effect!! 😂 Tolles Musik!! 🍺😎 erinnert mich an Kraftwerk 👌🏻🇩🇪
Random question ..what headphones do you use. Another reviewer complained he could only get usuable sound with ear buds. Sounds great btw

Woww!! Great job man!!!! 🔥
Are the drum sounds you are using from the pre sets on the kit ?
All the sounds are from the module
What settings are you using? Can you breakdown all the settings that’s used for each piece? Or are you using a different app or stock drum sounds?
hey pal, that's kind of wow
thank you!
Awaiting my mesh kit as well, obv you hava a Tama add on... plugs right in? Also, what model is it? Thanks and GREAT job!!!

Hey, I have had been wanting to stream for the longest time but I am not sure how to setup a stream with an audio interface. Your videos are so helpful with anyone with an Alesis Nitro LOL.

whats the set up for cosmo boy? i mean which number in every pad
Sorry I don't remember, I've since written over that slot
Do have any tips for beginners? I want to be as good as you one day lol
Just play all the time. Practice makes good (never perfect, there's always room to improve) Play all day.
