Out of the box these work very well with the dm8. Setup is simple. The range between open and close is much better than any other that i have played. The biggest downside to this is the top pad which is just too loud. I replaced the top pad with a roland cy12 and now it is quiet and triggers great. I use the atv ad5 module and it works perfectly.

I was so excited when I saw these getting ready to come out. I thought for sure that Alesis had put together a unit that would make the other hi-hat look bad. Like so many others, I spent hours tweeking my settings and I'm afraid that It just isn't what I had hoped. I have been salivating over the Zildjian Gen 16s, but they are very expensive. I had really hoped that this cymbal would at least be good enough to stave off the desire to put out that kind of money. now I only want the Zildjians even more. I cant get this new hi-hat to be even as good as the old "Realhat" I am just so sad that it makes me a little sick to my stomach.

First, I want to say that THIS REVIEW IS IN NO WAY OUT TO HURT ZOUNDS AT ALL...... And I am an owner of an Alesis DMX 10 SET!!! Sooo......The other reviews give a "REAL WORLD" look at a new Alesis product. However, it looks like Alesis did the same thing that they did with the original ADAT, and that was to put it out into the "market place" ( probably because the sales dept. overrode the R & D dept., who knows that the hi-hat is not 100% ready to go ) before ALL THE BUGS were worked out. Not too mention that, if Alesis wants to be competitive they need to make a more realistic set of cymbals, if need be, make them similar to Zildjian's E-Cymbals, which mimics real cymbals anyway, which is what drummers want in the first place, ya know the abundance of sounds that an E-drumming system has/is and that looks like real drums!

"Good product with poor setup instructions."

I bought this to work with my DM8. It does pretty much everything I expected it to and is of similar quality to the rest of my DM8 kit. The instructions for how to set it up were specific to the DM10. So setting it up took a little bit of thinking as to which wires go where. You have to use the wires from the DM8's octopus cable and not the cables it comes with and tells you to use in the instruction. Once it was set up I was very happy with the playability.

These cymbals did not work at all correctly. Spent several hours trying to get them to work and subsequently accidentally wiped all my custom kits. Very disappointed indeed.
