Strata Prime Kit Demos | Alesis Drums

The Prime Drum Module is without doubt the most technologically advanced drum module ever made. The sound experience is driven by the legendary BFD drum engine and controlled by a 10.1” touch screen that delivers intuitive navigation, editing, mixing of kits - and recording studio level sound, previously only available on high-powered desktop computers.

The multi-core processor runs the legendary BFD sound engine. It is an enormous library of drum kits immaculately sampled by top engineers in some of the world’s finest drum recording spaces. With over 40GB of content; 75 kits, +440 kit pieces, +1,000 sound articulations, and more than 215,000 individual samples, you can create your own mixes, apply effects to kit pieces, groups, and even individual microphones.

In addition to the factory 75 kits, Strata Prime includes four sound libraries: “Alesis Prime Acoustic”; a huge collection of drum sounds recorded at Powerstation Studios in New England; “BFD Dark Farm”; all acoustic metal orientated expansion pack from the BFD team; “Alesis Prime Electronic”; the best of the Alesis Strike Multipad one-shot electronic drum sounds, great for layering with over acoustic drum samples; and “BFD Percussion”; a diverse collection of percussion sounds from across BFD’s classic percussion packs.

All of the Alesis critics will be hard pressed to find something to crap on with the Strata Prime... this kit is a homerun!

Sounds great, my Strata Prime kit is coming in tomorrow!

I’m really enjoying my Strata Prime kit. Worth it for sure.

Binary cleanse is the most realistic sounding set ive heard and played on just on the module. Really enjoying the Strata and currently mixing in more pads and cymbals from the Strike Pro SE.

Was this mixed at all? What interface did you guys use? I'm planning on getting a focusrite clarett here pretty soon to do some recording with my strata prime. I think it'll get the job done, but I'm curious as to what you guys used because this sounds really good!

It's all very well to demonstrate the drums on their own, but it would be even more interesting to see a demonstration with a whole band playing, to see how the drums fit in with the band. I should add: can it also be installed for a left-handed drummer ?

I’ve had my Alesis Prime for about 4 days now and have a few questions/concerns.

1.Aux In plug in is extremely low in volume, it is full volume on my iPhone, am I missing something?

2. Do I need to use both XLR outputs for one Alesis AMP, the output does not specify which is mono, why not have a 1/4 mono output?

3. My kick trigger is double triggering like crazy, I have to set the thresholds to 90 which at that point my light kicks do not register. I am using an Iron Cobra 600 pedal. I will have to invest on another rug to see if I can minimize the vibration.

What date is this set going to be shipping to some other countries ? because I haven't seen it yet online where I live.

Ingin memilikinya, tetapi tidak mampu membelinya ... 😅

[squidskunk]

i love all the sounds of this drum set...
i like the cymbals...
i like the rack...
one thing that bothers me tho...
going electronic drums is like going electric vehicle for some stupid reason the manufactures think people want a different look when embracing the new tech...
for me that it not true. i want the look ive grown to love with the awesomeness of the new tech.. the strike set is closer in appearance to an acoustic set than this one...this set should have full depth toms and snare.

[keithandrews]

So that's is for the strike pro then!? No more firmware? No customer support? Just gonna go to the next thing and forget that 1000s of people are still running the last big flagship kit you put out.

Won't be continuing to run alesis stuff after this. That's for sure.

wtf is that hawk!? d'you like pea nis?
