Alesis Nitro Pro Electronic Drum Kit

Let the Nitro Pro Boost Your Beats

The Nitro Pro showcases Alesis’ revered playing feel and kit versatility with an eye toward passing the sticks to drummers of all skill levels. This 5-piece includes a trio of 8-inch dual-zone tom pads, an 8-inch kick tower, and a substantial 10-inch dual-zone snare pad — all with tunable and responsive mesh heads. Double-kick devotees here at Ragtime find that this kick tower easily accommodates, too! Three 10-inch and choke-able cymbal pads provide hi-hat, crash, and ride effects, while the Nitro Pro Module supplies 36 factory kits, 16 user kits, and over 500 stellar samples to craft from. Warm up with onboard lessons, a metronome, and a sequencer, then record your rhythms or jam along to 60 practice songs or your favorite tunes over Bluetooth — there’s even a holder for your phone. Alesis is also tossing in a 90-day subscription to Drumeo, along with everything you need to get grooving from day one, like a set of sticks, a drum key, pedals, and all the mounts and hardware — just bring your throne!

Plenty of presets with room to grow

Courtesy of its BFD-driven build, the Nitro Pro Module provides a superb selection of kits. The Nitro Pro includes 36 factory preset examples that span an enormous range of genres to appeal to even the pickiest percussionists. Not enough options? Build your own — seriously! With an extra 16 available user slots and over 500 included samples to work with, you can create your ideal 5-piece drum kit from the ground up to perfectly match your preferred sound. Additionally, you’ll get access to the free BFD Player, a virtual instrument and expansion pack with plenty more samples to choose from. How’s that for custom curation?

Appointed for realistic response

Alesis put extra effort into ensuring that the Nitro Pro plays with lifelike responsiveness across the board — and they did not disappoint! Dual-zone playability for the snare pad and each of the three tom pads means you’ve got full drumhead and rim triggering to get as creative as you need to. Each drum pad also features a mesh head — a feature that many percussionists here at Ragtime prefer for its more true-to-form responsiveness, as opposed to rubber heads. Acoustic drummers will feel right at home! To round out, all three cymbal pads possess choking capabilities, allowing you to perform precise cutoffs and mid-measure stops, just like the real deal.

Get grooving right away

Save for a drum throne, the Nitro Pro electronic drum set is the definition of all-inclusive. What do we mean? A foundational 4-post, powder coated steel rack system houses all pieces of the configuration with rugged stability, complete with adjustable and tiltable mounts to create a reach and response that truly resonates with your playing style. A single chain-drive kick pedal and hi-hat controller respond with impressive precision, letting you time-keep to any tempo just like you would on an acoustic kit. Fine-tune your tensions of choice with a supplied drum key, and start laying down grooves from day one with a complementary set of sticks!

A boost for any drummer

The Nitro Pro electronic drum set does an excellent job bridging affordability and space-consciousness with a well-developed sound design and an upgraded feel. As a result, this 5-piece makes a solid setup for a wide variety of percussionists! Whether you’re transitioning from acoustic to electronic playing, adding an electronic kit to your existing drum room, or are brand-new to the world of drumming altogether, the Nitro Pro makes a fantastic fit at an outstanding price. Its compact size also ensures minimal intrusions, sitting comfortably in tight corners, small-scale studios, and even dorms and bedrooms!
