The DM5 Pro Kit from Alesis is an affordable, professional-quality electronic drum kit that offers terrific ease of use, portability, and sound selection. The heart of the kit is the DM5 module, which contains 540 different sounds and 21 programmable drum kits in true stereo, as well as ambient effects, in a single rack space unit.
The kit also includes five drum pads; a snare, kick, and three toms, along with three cymbal pads; ride, crash, and hi-hat. The Dynamic Articulation feature allows the drum sounds to change volume, tone, and pitch depending on how hard the pads are hit. A Random Sample feature adds variation to the sound of a drum as it's played to give you a more realistic, less static sound.
All of the sounds of the DM5 kit have been recorded at 48kHz, higher than CD-quality, to give your performance the great detail and realism you need. All of the hardware is professional-quality, with real drum shells, and firm grip hardware mounts. All of the necessary interconnect cables are included to get you up and running quickly.
Note! Kick pedal is not included.

Comments about Alesis DM5 Pro Kit - Professional Electronic Drum Kit with DM5 Module:
This kit has got it all and it is excellent for younger drum enthusiasts. Thanks to the possibility of elevating the bass drum considerably (with a tiny platform) my three year old son can bust out!
