Enjoyed watching. Manufacturer demos usually come off like boring infomercials. He just seemed like a real person showing you the kit.
VERY good demo.
Just the right amount of showing us the SOUNDS and just the right amount of EXPLAINING.
Pro Tip: If you’re going to do more eardrum videos… have these blokes do them.
I have been using Melodics for a few months. I love it.
Ha! Till the laptop dies during a show! Anyway, picking up this kit this weekend hopefully for home practice.
im so jealous of your NS1000s!!! Ive been searching for a pair for the longest!!! regret selling mine!
Plug n play BFD included in the kit, that's impressive! The module itself is what it is, a slightly above entry level ekit, but having a VST included is a great offer. Well done for mentioning it's dependant on the computer's power though.
I already have an older surge that I use for quiet practice but will definitely get the BFD player when it gets a full release next year to record with since it'll be much easier than trying to get a good sound from my acoustic kit with one mic.
Live will still be the acoustic kit though.
How's the volume on the headphones? I've seen in alot of reviews that mention this issue of not being loud enough, even with Hi End fones. Any help?
I just bought this kit from Sweetwater Sound today since I live about 30 minutes from there. Easy to put together, and the sounds are great. I love the 10" snare. It DID come with a cheap set of sticks in the accessories, but I got the accessory pack bundle on sale with headphones, throne, and some VIC American Classic sticks that are still just a bit light weight for me, but they'll do for now. I haven't looked at the software yet, so this video was pretty cool to explain.
I’m planning on getting the double bass bundle
how is the durability? also, is it too small? this is the first video i've watched where the kit looks big but usually it looks quite small.
I've been looking for a kit to travel with me for a while and i feel like this kit checks all the boxes i'm looking for. I just ordered mine and i look forward to trying it out.
What did you think? It looks way better than the nitro but does not have expansions like the nitro does. I know it has ports for an extra Tom and extra Cymbal but they don’t actually sell the Tom/Cymbal for it. I know there is ways to work around and use the nitro kit but it puts me off there is no replacements for it.
Love the review vid, I'm contemplating to buy either the Alesis Surge or Nux DM210. Any suggestions, pros & cons? Thanks!
I'm a beginner and I've been looking for a kit for a while now and I think I know which one I'll be getting now.
I own a Surge and I just can't seem to find how to save the bmp's, metronome voice and other settings. Every time I turn it off/on it resets everything. Is it possible to save the changes?
So it’s a plug-in that you can insert on to a midi track within your daw? That’s priceless!
Yes, Melodics download is free along with a couple of lessons. BUT you can only play the lessons for a max of 5 minutes a day :/ . Yes, it's free but don't expect a massive learning progress if you rely only on 5 minutes peer day.
Ridiculous you would think it’s just bundled for the price
I saw the double bass drum hit on Melodics in this demo. I have that problem quite a bit. ;)
As a previous software engineer I wounder if I could put an LED under the drum "skin" to light up to show when you need to hit. Or would that hinder the ability to play naturally. It may need to be a bit back from the other electronics in case there is a hum from it. but this LED would be low voltage. HUMM
Is the ride cymbal velocity sensitive with the ride on all the kits?
55 just bought this set, got a good teacher to help me get syarted cant wait
Can I ask how you’re routing this? I just got the kit and I’m using it to trigger drum sounds through my laptop but I’m unable to get the sounds from my laptop to the PA system.
Is there a way to get all those sounds without the computer. And the practice mode thing
So is the melodics software deal the same as the free plan from the website? They said something about 60 lessons but the website says 20 and 5 mins a day max.
Can I connect iPad to my surge edition to use melodic
Can you switch the kick for the base for a regular doublebase kick?
This is definitely worth the $500 I payed for it. The drums heads all feel great, the pedals also feel great. The rubber high hats are fine but obviously don't feel like real hats. A lot of people complain about the sounds on this module for a reason, but they aren't unusable. The BFD player came with a code only for `Dark Mahogany' and it sounds nice. I wish I had been able to choose the free kit.
The size is perfect for my family studio it's not to small for me at 6 ft and not to big for my 5 year old. Also the rack can fold in for quick storage.
thanks for a detailed review. one question, does it has good durability?
@@vekkdrums 5 months later the kit is still going strong no issues at all.
@@vekkdrums 6 months in and zero issues.
I have purchased the surge and have BFD player but none of these packs seem to be available yet. When can I buy the expansions?
Can you do the cross stick rim shot?
So i bought this kit, and only one preset is inside the software called Dark Mahogany, the rest that are in the video is not in the software? Why?
I'm grade 5 currently and due to space and money all I got now is table top drums which suck cuz it's not realistic. I might be getting this later this year as it's not costly
I am having a problem. I have an alesis surge SE. I cannot figure out how to remap a pad. My issue is that my ride is mapped to my crash. So Everytime I hit the ride, I hear the crash. Everything else works fine. I cannot find anywhere in bfd player that will let me remap it to the correct pad/sound. I also have selected in BFD player that I'm using a surge SE kit. Does anybody know if it's possible to do this?
well you guys know when we will get the bfd
Being left handed and trying to learn guitar lefty and all the disadvantages that come with that choice as a result, would you suggest a drum beginner just pretend he didn't hear "you can play left handed" and continue to assume they only make 1 type? What's the pros and cons?
Is the software and the lessons in multiple languages? Like Dutch?
Idk which kit to buy and i heard roland has good drums as well
Have the Command mesh,basically same kit with different color mesh heads.BFD player should also be free for regular Command Mesh owners as well I would think
When playing the "bell" on the ride cymbal, is it like a real drum set where you have to hit near the center of the cymbal or does it work anywhere on the cymbal?
Velocity only-- plays the bell when you play louder. Need to upgrade to some more expensive models for the bell sensor.
so without a laptop the use is quite limited right??
Coooool
The hassle free part of the setup with the VST/BFD seems the selling point for me, as a guitarist. Does anyone know if the BFD download is working for this, yet? I am on the fence, but want to jump.
Nope. I bought it and still haven’t got the BFD
@@blessanbabu4512 Wait, so you bought the Surge Special Edition kit and still haven’t been able to use BFD with it?
WHEN WILL WE GET THE BFD FROM ALESIS I BOUGHT THIS KIT DIDNT GET BFD
These sets all seem short to me, im kinda tall. Is that an issue?
Can I use my Native Instruments Abbey Road packs with this drum set?
Yes just use it as a midi controller
İs it possible to shipping Türkiye?
Why is the snare volume low how do I bring it up ??
Push the Voice button. Then hit your snare. Then push Voice again until you see Vol. Then use your arrow keys to raise the volume. Super easy.
Are the drums panned the wrong way?
Is the kick pedal kp1 good enough to be bought to replace kick on a roland td6v ? Thanks !
Anyone know if you can buy an expansion for this kit like you can with the nitro mesh?
The nitro mesh expansion kit is also suitable for the surge, so you can use that one.
@@TheMiguelangel09 People have reported that the clamps with the nitro expansion do NOT fit the surge. you have to buy your own clamps. But Amazon shows they sell expansion cymbals for the surge specifically
So this is pretty much the regular Surge but with the newer drum heads, and a free VST?
If it´s free it´s ok. But my bet are "let´s make crappy souding drums, but we can charge for the expansion packs that sounds better".
@@jcsk8 you can pick 1 expansion pack for free the rest cost money.
@@pavementthetypingbear5709 thanks for the info. So at least one. Good.
The VST should also be free for Command Mesh kit owners ..basically same kit
16:33 were you rushing, or were you dragging?!
i was waiting to know if it can be used by lefties hahaha ill get this one to learn :D
it said toward the end you can switch it around for left
for the love of god could someone tell me how to install this software so it can actually work? I've installed BFD player, registered it, and then installed dark mahogany. opened the BFD player and went to "content". clicked "add", scanned the folder where I installed the dark mahogany and got the message: "no new products were found". so.. my BFD library is still empty. why did they made it so complicated in the start? this should be plug and play kind of thing.
I just bought this kit today and also installed BFD Player with Dark Mahogany and I have the exact same problem
@@BobF67 I'm still unable to make it work. any success from your side? I can see that this BFD player is not even released yet officially, so they probably gave us faulty software under the disguise of a bonus feature if you buy the drum kit. So I'm pretty sure this is a marketing scam. If not - they really have to work on the installation manual because this is unacceptable. One of the biggest reasons why I bought this kit was because of this software.
@@Tkivo yes I too wanted this software (especially when the Zeppo Breaks) and partly the reason why I went with this kit as well. I'm thinking that it's just a case of the full release not being out yet and that we'll have no problems when released sometime this spring (Hopefully). I noticed that The Dark Mahogany pack is huge and seems to be complete so I think its just a case of the BFD Player not being ready and or incomplete, fingers crossed. If I can find out and more details I will definitely let you know
So I went into bfd site and it says bfd player coming soon? What gives?
Yep… it’s annoying but I’m gonna just hope they mean actually soon.
@@fake_plant right, I just bought one a few days ago and it still says the same thing.
@@oozzyknob I actually forgot about this and your reply reminded me. I got this kit for my birthday, and part of the reason it was the one I got was because of this feature smh.
What is the difference between special edition and "normal"?
Special edition has white mesh heads. Regular has black.
@@Sternodox the heads are 2 ply which are better than the regular surge
but how do you get the sound out to a PA?
With a cable.
W an XLR from the Line Out. It's real simple. Honestly the sound guy will probably buy you a beer, for saving him the trouble of mic'ing your normal 8 piece kit lol
Why is it I keep running upon this product and they're advertising it with this BFD software and it seems anyone who's ordered the kit still isn't receiving it with the drums? This is bad. I'm glad I didn't make my order with sweet water before really looking at the specs ... I'm looking at this 'special edition' version and I'm not seeing the software with it. What gives? I've got Logic with all it's Drum kits and can use that, but it would be nice to have other options because these canned samples that come inside the box with these drums sort of sound like crap to be honest. 😂
I really wish to have this kit for my music band. Unfortunately I have no money.
Go do some work you can make the money in a few weeks
@@jasonsharpbucks Fortunately, I'm a Federal officer here in Nigeria who earns less than $100 equivalent per month.. All will be well hopefully.🙏
@@dammywondermusic4790 look at interest free payment plans. A lot of companies offer these without a credit check and you just pay a little at a time
@@jasonsharpbucks for the few that live in the handful of developed economies, that's how it works. As for other 98% of people, surplus money is pretty out of reach
Do you need a computer or can you use your phone.
I purches this drum
You bought it? How is it?
Roland! 💪
made in Viet Nam....?
WELL I BOUGHT THIS KIT AND I GOT NO BFD SAMPLE PACK WHATS UP WITH THAT
Another video about this kit had a pinned comment stating that this feature will not be released until 2023
@@guspolinski2690 Yea, not happy about that. Bought is thinking I'd get a Bonham sound with the click of a button - WRONG! Not available until "2023". Really dodgy! They should have covered that in the review. I feel duped!
No way would I ever take this kit out to a live show. Acoustic drums do not need batteries, ac adapter, or software! Let alone the headache of going through programs in a live show. For home song learning or recording sure.
Tech is just too much. By the time I learned how to run all this software I could have easily learned several songs. To each his own. Not bashing the idea. Thanks for uploading this video.
No USB cable in the box...... And it's not the sort of USB you will have laid around its a USB A- B. Poor Alesis!! Very poor! And why not a standard usb that EVERYONE has laid around???
Ha Ha .. it's not that big of a deal ... I've got a couple of USB mics and they were like that... just order the 10 dollar cord when you order your drums. 😂 If that's a deal breaker, that's pretty silly in my view. When it comes to budget stuff like this, that's just how it is. They're gonna cut costs where they can. Doesn't come with a drum throne either, and that seems expected. Sheesh
@@Fiveash-Art It's a big deal when this is an entry level drum kit and as a new drummer you receive your kit and don't get what you need to drum.The module is awful sounds better hiting pots and pans. Alesis clearly expects you to use an external sound module Your short sighted and need to laugh at someone to make yourself feel better? Not me looking daft
@@ex0148 Get a basic daw ... if you're getting into electronic music, how would you not have something with some sort of drum emulator anyway? You're talking about a cheap set of electronic drums. Have you looked at the price tags on some of these kits.. especially the Rolands? It's crazy.. garage band comes free with the Mac even has some pretty good samples to use.. complaining about a cord is just silly. Yeah, the canned samples sound like poop .. but if you're just learning.. who cares. 😂 It's all part of the process.
20 minutes of you guys just talking about the electronics.
Just say what it comes with, the pros & cons, and show us how it sounds geez.
Ahem, Roland. Sorry.
Which kit do you think is comparable at the price? Not trying to argue,... I'm still just researching these budget electronic kits and I really am more interested in what buyers have to say than the sales people. This particular Alesis model seems to be getting pretty good reviews ... I'd probably pay a couple hundred more for something that's going to be solid tech.
@@Fiveash-Art Both the Roland TD-1DM and TD02 are comparable in price, especially at Andertons.
What gave me concern about the Alesis in this video was that they’re already bypassing the drum module. They’re relying on everyone who buys this kit, having access to a laptop etc.
My advice, as someone who tried lots of kits before buying my Roland TD17, is go for Roland. It might be worth looking at the second-hand market too as people are always upgrading.
Support is good with Roland as well. They recently updated the firmware for the TD17 to include twenty more kits plus software refinements. There’s also loads of third party packs available too, some for free and some have to be bought.
Good luck picking your kit! 👍🏻 🥁
@@ravusursi893 I'll look into it. I have Logic and have a lot of access to decent sounding kits with multi recorded hits so it's not one sound with velocities that are just volume changes. The producer kits are pretty awesome in Logic. Alesis keeps advertising this BFD drum pack/plug in , but I keep seeing people who've bought this drum kit complaining that it didn't automatically come with it when they thought it would.. and this is this year when it supposedly starts shipping with it. I buy my stuff from Sweetwater and yeah, I don't see them advertising this 'free software'. It's making me want to buy the Roland. The stock sounds in the Alesis sound like crap to me. The only thing making me question those Roland models is I've seen a lot of people having issues with the actual hardware breaking etc. I'm also seeing that the USB connection isn't midi compatible. That right there is a no go for me. .... Thanks for the reply. I'm going to have to go for the Alesis even though the brain's sounds are crap... I was planning on the kits in my DAW anyway. Just hope there aren't too many issues with that being a pain in the ass. Stuff is not always just simple plug and play.
Listen to allllll that crap machine-gunning on the snare drum. Save your money for a Roland TD07. Alesis is a joke.
never buy alesis, unless it's the strike.. and even then, better go for rolland or yamaha, or go for the other elite if you have the money
80s sounds. Pathetic
