AlesisDrums Command Mesh SE Kit - Electric Drum Set with Quiet Dual Zone Mesh Pads, USB MIDI Connectivity and 600+ Electronic & Acoustic Drum Sounds

Great drum set!

Love the response of the mesh heads, great sound, responds well to the pressure of playing. I wish the volume went a tiny bit higher, but that's probably for the best to keep what's left of my hearing in-tact. Works great connecting to your smart phone/tablet running Moises to practice along with. Really great unit.

As with any digital drum set like this. You will spend 10% of your time readjusting, retightening, realigning. That is just the way it is.

We bought this for our son's Christmas gift. He's 16 years old and has played in the school band since 6th grade. He uses his snare drum at home to practice and it is extremely loud. So when wanting to get him a full drum set we opted for the electric version. This enables him to wear his headphones and play as loudly as he likes, while mom and dad don't hear anything but his foot tapping. He was able to assemble it himself and figure out all the wiring and how to use it. He has since joined the praise team at church and is able to practice at home even more. Very pleased with this purchase.

Bought a cheaper brand at first and returned them. I bought these and I am very impressed. They were easy to put together and they sound great. It has a utility where you can adjust all the sounds on the drums. It also has about 40 preset sounds. Just those alone you have multiple varieties of symbols and drum sounds. The triggers also work well on the set. I noticed on the bass drum you have to adjust the kick so it hits it on the lower middle. The bass drum has a exceptionally sounds.

It can be a bit tricky to get it all set up but that is due to the large range of positions each part of the kit can be in (there are a lot of pivot points and a large range of elevations). The surfaces are a lot smaller than acoustic drums so it takes some practice to be able to move around the kit without hitting the sticks together or hitting the rims of the drums. The tradeoff is its compactness. I have not explored all the electronic features as I am getting back into drumming after a long interval. My 2Cans headphones work well with it and I also connect them to an old pair of Sony computer speakers from time to time. I have not yet connected them to a drum amp or a regular home stereo amp. I think this kit could be used in performance, especially as acoustic drums are almost always miked when used to perform, so their natural sound is rarely heard anyway. I would recommend this set.

Purchased this kit for church band. This is a beginner kit only not an intermediate kit and not for a band. Good for learning at home.

Loving it. True beginner here. Easyish setup.Main problem would be the free lessons they give you. I was only able to do those 5 minutes a day... Which is just ridiculous. As it was advertised to me I'd expect to use the lessons to whatever extent.That being said you can (and I did) subscribe for $120ish after discount and I suggest everyone consider that. Worth every penny. Made a lot of progress in a short time. Also they give two free weeks with the premium package mentioned earlier.Still it should be reiterated that the free lessons shouldn't have a time limit for those that dont want to buy the full package.Drums seem awesome to me but I don't have a lot of experience with drums (electric or otherwise with the exception of the Rock Band drums 😄).The large foot drum tower has been especially enjoyable. Once I figured out how to set it up and secure it I was really having fun.Would have prefered to have dual zone cymbals but overall no regerts.
