The Ideal Choice for Novice Drummers
According to Alesis.com:
The Alesis DM6 USB Kit (formerly DM6 Kit) is a top-notch electronic drum set that incorporates Alesis’ extensive expertise in professional electronic percussion. This drum set boasts a brand-new sound module with 108 high-quality drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds. The pads offer an exceptional playing experience, and the hardware and rack system are of superior quality.
A Distinctive Alesis Experience
Similar to all Alesis drum sets, the DM6 USB Kit provides players with realistic and natural-feeling playing surfaces. To minimize vibration feedback, the pads of the DM6 USB Kit are made of natural rubber. This five-piece kit includes a dual-zone snare pad that allows for compatibility with two different sounds. You can produce a snare drum sound in the center and a rim click, rimshot, or even a cowbell sound on the edge!
In addition to the snare pad, the DM6 USB Kit features three tom pads, an upright kick drum pad, hi-hat, crash, and ride cymbal pads. It also comes with an Alesis bass drum pedal and kick pad, allowing for a personalized touch.
Impressive Sound Quality
The DM6 module of the drum set offers an extensive collection of top-notch drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds that will leave you amazed. You have the ability to edit and save your drum kits to create custom sounds. The module provides 10 presets and 5 custom slots. Furthermore, the DM6 has a USB output that allows you to send the notes you play as a MIDI signal. This means you can use the DM6 as a trigger-to-MIDI interface with drum-module software like BFD, Toontrack, or Reason, providing you with an endless array of sounds.
The DM6 also includes headphone and amplifier outputs, enabling you to play quietly using headphones or connect to an amplifier and rock out. Additionally, you can connect your iPod or CD player to the DM6 and mix it with the drum set’s stereo input.
Useful Practice Tools
The DM6 module is equipped with a built-in metronome, an essential tool for maintaining steady time during practice sessions, whether you’re playing alone or with a band. The module also features a built-in sequencer with 40 preset music tracks for you to play along with.
Durable Hardware
A drum set is only as strong as its weakest component. The DM6 USB Kit is mounted on a sturdy aluminum rack. The rack’s standard 1 1/2″ tubing allows for expansion with Alesis and other brands’ clamps and mounts. The kit includes a complete set of mounting hardware and cables, as well as robust kick drum and hi-hat pedals.
