Alesis Strataprime Electronic Drum Kit

WORLD CLASS SOUND.
PROFESSIONAL FEEL.

Strata Prime is an electronic drum kit without compromise. Every detail has been conceived to deliver a responsive and natural experience for the player. All-mesh drumheads have adjustable tension; the 360-degree cymbals are free to move and respond like acoustic cymbals, and the hi-hat is laser-accurate and plays naturally with any hi-hat stand or hi-hat technique. Together, they create the kind of expressive feeling that you should expect from a meticulously crafted instrument. However, under the hood, there is a truly state-of-the-art sound engine that places a vast and detailed library of beautifully recorded drum kits.

Adjust at will

The touch screen puts every parameter right at your fingertips, so you can call up and adjust every component of the kit, sounds, effects, and utilities effortlessly. There are also six rotary encoders for quick scrolling and detailed control, as well as a main push encoder, transport controls, and dedicated volume knobs for main, phones, and aux outputs.

Multi-core processor

Under the hood, there is a powerful multi-core processor that loads huge multi-sampled kits in seconds and enables instant creative freedom to customize your kits, articulations, microphones, and effects. The brand-new trigger engine is customizable, and although Strata Prime is superbly playable straight out of the box, there are several tools to adjust the kit to your specific preference, including instantly calibrate cross talk.

NEXT LEVEL FEATURES

Drums

Strata Prime comprises six drums with all-mesh heads. Starting with a dual-zone 14” snare drum, with independent sounds triggered on the head, rim click, and rim shot, followed by 8” / 10” / 12” / 14” toms and of course a 20”kick drum which provides a comfortable playing surface while being suitable for all varieties of single and double kick drum pedals. PLEASE NOTE: Kick pedal sold separately. The tension can be adjusted on all six mesh heads so you can set the exact level of rebound and expressiveness to your preference - and unnatural ‘hotspots’ on the heads are eliminated by Alesis’ unique patented anti-hotspot sensor design*.

Cymbals

The Strata Prime’s ARC cymbals are supremely sensitive with a beautifully lathed surface. All three cymbals, the 18” ride, and two 16”crashes are triple-zone; with different sounds triggered on the bell, bow, and edge of each cymbal. They are all 360-degree responsive, so not only can you play anywhere throughout the cymbal, but they mount on standard acoustic arm mounts, allowing them to respond and swing naturally, without restrictions. The crash-and-ride cymbals and hi-hats have dual-edge sensors* and profiles that allow incredible expressiveness without having to adjust your technique.

Precision Hi-hat

The 14” hi-hat is the world’s first Active Magnetic, stand-mounted controller. PLEASE NOTE: Hi-hat stand is sold separately. Like the cymbals, it’s a triple-zoned 360-degree playing surface which is extremely sensitive. Magnetic position sensing ensures that pedal movements are translated with extraordinarily high resolution; meaning the contactless controller is unmatched in its accuracy. The unit can be used with a wide variety of hi-hat stands and playing techniques. Its active technology is powered directly from the Prime Drum Module; no extra power adapter is required.
