"Alesis Surge drums"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I'm a bass/guitar player. i bought these for my studio so drummers could come over and have something to jam on. It has done exactly that. The drummers that have played them have all given positive feedback.The mesh heads look and feel good the drum hardware is solid. I have actually started playing drums, though i'm a beginner, I think any level of drummer could appreciate these drums and for $500 and the great payment plans offered by zZounds it's a no brainer

Musical Background:

Bass/Guitar player 35 years Bass being my main instrument, Did the band gigging thing into my forties, Now have my own studio

Musical Style:

Huge Rush fan, so progressive rock, and heavier type rock was my inspiration growing and still is.

This kit is a great deal! The mesh heads play well, and setting it all up was a breeze. I use it to trigger drum samples in Logic Pro X and the expression is fantastic. Great for practicing on and a lot of fun to play.

"Best beginner kit"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Seriously amazing. The mesh heads are incredible. Very sensitive but very good response to practicing rudiments. Even the kick setup is decent. I upgraded the bass drum pedal with a tama speed cobra but the stock pedal is great. The sounds are perfect for any style, really enjoy making my own. Plenty of sounds to use as well.The payment plans are the best in the business and if you can get it, definitely buy it. It does make practice much more fun.

Musical Background:

30 years playing guitar bass keys and drums.

Musical Style:

Christian contemporary, every type of rock, jazz, Heavy metal, punk, ska, reggae, etc.

I find this set just awesome. It fits in the corner of the room without taking up to much space. The sound is incredible when hooked up to a sound monitor. Headphones rock also.

"Headphones DO NOT work with this kit"

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
WARNING: this unit does not provide full volume with headphones. I tried endlessly with SONY MDR 7506 headphones (industry standards) and I couldn't get the volume to drown out the sound of the sticks on the hi hats and cymbals. Company was no help in troubleshooting and when given the choice they opted to lose me as a (first-time) customer. Google search this and you'll see other similar claims. BUY BEWARE!!
