Alesis DM5 Drum Module

Total Tonal Control
In drumming, dynamics aren't just a matter of volume. When a real drummer puts sticks to skins, a hard hit has a different sound from a light one. That's why the Alesis DM5 sports the Expanded Dynamic Articulation feature, allowing drum sounds to change volume, tone, and pitch depending on how hard they're hit
