This review is even better than the official alesis videos thanks

[MRG_]

Product update. I had mine for 47 days before it quit working. Fantastic product. It is for the features it has. The best multipad out there. I exchanged mine for the Yamaha multi 12. And am very happy. The Alesis reliability issues kept me from getting another one. I will wait a few years for them to work out the bugs before I consider another one. Hope yours is still working

Best video I found about the Alesis strike multipad, thx!

[joechapa]

So cool illustration! Makes me "wanna must get this for myself":) I'm really diggin' it too!

[georgemickel]

I'd like to see a vid of you sampling your drum set, triggering from the pads and then exporting it into Logic, in addition show the music notation for a super deep tutorial. A lot to ask for.. I'm so glad you're hip to the hybrid setup.

[andrethaisz]

Way better and more informative than anything I found for this pad. Well done dude!

[badco]

Great overview. Thanks for putting it together. Just picked one up today and looking forward to creating with it.

I used to really dislike Alesis products. I don't need another multipad, and I still prefer my Nord Drum 3p, although it's in a different niche, with different features. That said, I gotta hand it to Alesis, this Multi Pad screams quality and looks like a solid alternative to the latest SPDSX. They've really improved since the Strike Pro. Good stuff.

[MikeErickson]

Great review man! That's a pretty sweet piece of tech! I have the SPD-SX but have always been bummed that I can't use it for live loops - it has no way to cut loops to a perfect loop length unless you cut them in your DAW and export! This seems like a good middle ground between the spd-30 and the SX - I might have to check it out... Cheers for the info!

I like that the headphone jack is in the front.

[HoracioParisMusic]

I'm considering selling my Roland SPD SX to buy this one. The looping functionality is something that I really need, and also the extra storage (2GB spd vs 32GB alesis). I wish the SPD SX had those things. Thanks for the review!

[ryansosa]

Congratulations Austin!!!
Awesome drummer and best drum pad..

[Lampdawg]

The fact that you can sequence and loop is dope. The Roland SPD doesn't let you do that. I'm getting this.

[christiancanalita]

Thanks Austin for this review! I'm waiting to see what Roland comes out with at NAMM. If nothing, I'm going to purchase the Alesis.

Hybrid kits are freaking amazing. Thank you for the inspiration and reeducation...TABLA, 808...

[no_peaches_]

I really love this new alesis product, looks great too.

[lucidphreak]

dude... that intro ROCKED.... would LOVE to see you cover some Parallels era Mark Zonder Fates Warning tunes.... Especially the 11th hour....

[danrivera]

I dig that funky little hihat and that snare

[mikehydropneumatic]

Got one this week, very powerfull and a lot of fun.

So many samples (8000), plays all kinda genres from rock, jazz, world, electronic.

The built in FX are very good, with my synths I use seperate pedals (except KingKorg) but Alesis did a great job on this too.

[LukasStumpf]

Yeah nice Austin! Always enjoy your videos. Seems like they finally brought out a worthy opponent to the Roland SPD SX! Actually I don't like Alesis products that much, cause they often used to be quite cheesy. But this looks good!
