Alesis DM5 KIT - Electronic Drum Kit
The Alesis DM5 Kit is an entry-level electronic drum kit that does not skimp on features. This ready-to-play package contains five pads and two electronic cymbals with natural motion, pedals for the bass drum pad and high-hat, and a DM5 drum module equipped with over five hundred drum sounds.
You can program your own kit or use one of the twenty-one presets. The DM5 module has inputs for up to twelve drum pads, so there's plenty of room to expand your kit with pads and cymbals available from Alesis. Ultra-fast trigger-to-MIDI conversion and the Dynamic Articulation feature render a highly realistic sound and playing experience.
Equally at home on stage or in a recording studio, the DM5 Kit is a solid electronic percussion solution at an affordable price point.
- Nothing Else to Buy
- The DM5 is a complete electronic drum set, including pedals for the bass drum pad and high-hat pad.
- Expansive Sound Set
- The "brain" of this kit, the DM5 module, contains five-hundred and forty sounds and twenty-one programmable drum sets, plus effects to simulate real-world ambience, all recorded in stereo at 48 kilohertz.
- Realistic Drum Feel
- Alesis drum pads have responsive heads that feel like real drum heads when struck, for authentic playability and stick response.
- Dynamic Articulation
- When playing a real drum, how hard you hit affects the sound created. This phenomenon is recreated by the DM5 using Dynamic Articulation. Volume, tone and pitch can all be assigned to react to the dynamics of your playing.
- Easily Expanded
- The DM5 ships with seven triggers, but has the capacity for twelve. The five unused trigger inputs can be used to expand your kit with pads and cymbal triggers available from Alesis.
