Product Description

The Alesis DM6 Session Kit is an ultra-compact and affordable five-piece electronic drumset that includes everything drummers need including the best-selling DM6 drum module, a new Alesis ProRack II drum rack, five drum pads, three cymbal pads, hi-hat and bass drum pedals, drumsticks, and a drum key. It's Alesis' most compact, quiet, affordable kit yet.

The Alesis DM6 Session Kit's compact rack and quiet rubber pads give you a versatile, low-noise instrument that takes up minimal space so you can play and practice at any time, day or night. The compact Alesis ProRack II comes preassembled in the box for a fast, easy set up.

You get 10 preset drumsets and five custom spots to build your own. In addition to the library of built-in sounds, the DM6 also has a USB output jack. By connecting the DM6 to your Mac, PC, or iPad using Apple's USB adapter, you can send the notes you play out as MIDI signal, transforming the DM6 into a trigger-to-MIDI interface for use with with drum-module apps such as BFD, Toontrack, or Reason. Imagine a limitless collection of sounds!

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (15 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "I'd pay $100 more for this!"
Sound: I bought this with the expectation that I would be buying a small, cheap toy. I wanted to start playing in my apartment, and this seemed like it would get the job done. Well, when I plugged in my head phones, the sound shattered my expectations. Everything sounded realistic, and the pads were all working properly. (ride isn't too sensitive though). Feature: The module is simple, yet complex. It's easy to use, but there are a good amount of features. I'm still playing around and learning. Ease of Use: The set-up directions are pretty awkward, so you may have to "wing it". I managed to set my dm6 up correctly with my first try, and the set is pretty easy to use. Quality: The frame is pretty solid. (Made of aluminum I believe.) I was pretty careful when playing for the first time, but I did manage to play a little harder than usual towards the end. (Like I said, I expected this to be a toy of a set, so I wanted to be careful) From my first night of playing, it seems like it could take some heavy playing. I have noticed a bit of a sensitivity issue with the ride, but I'll look into that before I write any further. Value: This product is a steal. I don't mean to rip ZZounds off in any way, but I would buy this set if it were $100 dollars more. For the price, I feel like I'm getting a product that will definitely hold it's own. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to use Alesis yet, but I've done research on their forums. The company seems to respond well to customer questions. The Wow Factor: To be honest, I expected this set to be a low-end version of the DM6 USB kit. After watching videos and doing research on the USB kit, I was hesitant on buying the Session kit. (I only bought the session because the USB kit was out of stock.) If I had the choice between the two, I would have probably gone for the USB kit. After playing, I realized that this kit was pretty solid, and VERY similar to the USB kit. Overall: Overall, I'm pretty happy with my decision. I understand that I may have software issues in the near future, (Many people have according to the Alesis forums) but as of right now, this kit has exceeded my expectations.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "These SUCK and are CHEAPLY MADE......Wouldn't recommend."
Overall: Cheaply made... module doesn't like staying on .the kick mechanism (I USE MECHANISM very LOOSELY TOO~~SUX Cheap....) But it was bought for my 4 yo so...He's gonna destroy it anyway..I've played them they DO have good sounds when the module stays on....I would send them back but the boxing is so frigging complicating It's not worth the trouble....In me opinion if you're gonna buy alesis go to the one that's 20 bucks more and has a kick pad not the thing that's was 399 get the one that's 419...or a real acoustic set......
Style of Music: metal , classic, southern rock!!!!
