![]() ![]() The pads were fairly small and the kit felt flimsy and unstable, I sometimes would hit a cymbal and couple of toms would trigger around it, a phenomenon called cross-triggering which can be fixed by adjusting threshold, but then you lose some of the dynamics if you overdo it and with the quality of DM10, that certainly was the case. I have owned Alesis DM10before and to be honest they were’t all that great. Right there and then I knew I had to get my hands on it somehow when it’s released. This is one of the things that got me when I saw a picture of the ad from Alesis of their new electronic kit.

Any kit will connect with any amp so keep your options open.Ĭonsider when you might use the monitor and in what situations. E-drum brands such as Roland and Alesis produce their own speaker systems but it’s not necessary to match brands unless you really want to. ![]() How much power does my e-kit amp need?ĭo you know your woofers from your tweeters? The fundamental factors that set these amps apart from each other are how much power they can produce (measured in watts), connectivity options in terms of inputs and outputs and whether the system delivers mono or stereo sound. Monitors which have been designed specifically for e-drums will more faithfully reproduce these desired frequencies. Headphones are the go-to option for convenience and quiet e-drum practice, but where does that leave us when we want to jam with other musicians or show off our new chops to whoever may care to listen?
