Alesis CompactKit 7 Portable Tabletop Drum Kit

No longer available at zZounds
With its 7 velocity-sensitive pads and included hi-hat and kick pedals, the Alesis CompactKit 7 delivers natural drum sound and feel in a tabletop footprint.

The Alesis CompactKit 7 is a tabletop electronic drum kit with seven velocity-sensitive drum pads that deliver realistic drum sound with the feel and response of real drums. It also comes with two pedals for hi-hat and kick drum, so you'll really feel as if you're sitting down at an actual set. There are 100s of built-in percussion voices, preset drum kits and play-along songs, so you can get started right away with your own customized sound.

The 3-digit LED display shows the status of all your operational settings and separate LEDs light up in response to which pad is being struck, giving you instant visual feedback. The self-recording function records you as you play and retains the recording even after you turn the unit off. Want to expand your sound potential? Use the USB-MIDI output to connect CompactKit7 to your favorite DAW and plug-ins. Sticks are included and so is an AC power supply. But you can take CompactKit 7 with you and play anywhere, by using 6 C batteries (not included).

I know what a lot of you musicians are thinking because I thought this same thing myself, which is: how can a compact/portable drum kit possibly deliver the dynamic quality and versatility of the "big boys" eDrum Kits? Well, I'm here to confidently state that Alesis has done it! The CompactKit 7 is nothing short of amazing. Playing/using this compact kit is easy once you've given it a few tries and the 100s of sampled kits built in offers a dynamic range which is on par with larger; more expensive devices. And that it has full-functioning USB-MIDI; can be battery powered and it also has a hand-percussion button that makes the pads more sensitive and responsive to playing the kit with your hands. Heck, it even comes with drumsticks, also two foot-pedals which operate the bass drum & hi-hat. It was a "no-brainer" for me to purchase the unit; the pros far outweigh the cons and the low price is yet another positive aspect of this awesome product. Overall, the Alesis CompactKit 7 Portable Drum Kit gives a lot of "bang for your buck."
