Alesis Nitro Max mini review

[@Mspuff710]

I just got the nitro I wish I would have seen this before purchasing the mesh because I cannot stand the way it plays or feels. It’s a big difference on the drums and the feel of the play entirely

[@hisham_hm]

from the looks of it I don't think this feels much different from the Nitro Mesh other than the larger snare... maybe the builtin sounds are better but you're much better off plugging it to a computer to get the sounds from a plugin anyway

[@jordanncyr]

I just bought this and I’m seeing a lot of people use dedicated snare stands and now I’m left wondering how long it’ll take before I have to buy one. It would’ve been cool if they could figure out a vertical bracing post or something to prevent it from falling down. Probably the most beat on part and it has the least stability. Anyway that’s my Ted talk, thanks for the mini review✌🏼

[@DrummerGrrrl]

I think the Titan 50 is much better, in my humble opinion. The rack for the Titan 50 feels much sturdier. And the sounds in the Titan 50's module are much better.

[@65DrumShortsChannel]

I completely agree, it’s worth the extra $50 if a person at that budget range is willing to pay extra

[@Simonadas04]

i can't find the titan 50 in any European online store

[@hiimalawnmower6629]

The rack and clamps for my titan 50 are really bad, super cheap and didn’t last over a year. I can agree the audio is top notch, sounds like an actual drum set and not like stock sounds on some other ekits

[@MrYoungspeeder]

I’m a proud owner of the Max. Absolutely love jamming on it and can’t fault anything apart from the wobbly rack and hight. The Titan 50 is a great kit too! However, it’s much harder to secure in some country’s. Alesis kits seem to be everywhere.

[@prokux2529]

I got this one recently as my first set. The frame is very weak but overall it's a fun kit.

[@LaDoor17]

Ahhh, great idea with the snare, that little bar gets loose all the time, I’ll be using a regular snare stand from now on, thanx man

[@keeganjones924]

I find mine so quiet through headphones. Snare and crash are loud but everything else super quiet, solutions??

[@shimonandrew7132]

I just had the same problem try turning the sensitivity up on the low volume pads and/or individually adjust each pad to max volume

[@JoeBlow-n7s]

My son wants to learn to play drums. I don’t want an acoustic set. So electronic drum set is best, obviously for noise. Would you recommend this set for a beginner? Price range would be around $500ish give or take a hundred. Plus any extra items I may need, throne, pedal, etc….

[@65DrumShortsChannel]

If you in the USA, a Simmons Titan 50. Other places, maybe an Alesis or Millenium kit

[@woutervanwijk4369]

Looked at it, played on it but still not convinced not to save up some more cash and go for Roland. Even their entry level TD-02 KV plays and sounds so much better. And that's not even that much more expensive. Even though it has no kick pad.

[@kirstymullan3099]

What size snare stand to get??

[@ryanmoore1800]

I bought one for my son and the rack seems unstable. I've made sure everything is tightened but it still feels flimsy. Any recommendations?

[@didgeteria9068]

Yes dude , buy 2 or 3 of those horizontal bars to which the toms and snare are attached to and place them on a lower point 😊 that's what I'm thinking of doing when i get my kit .... In my honest opinion , one can't have everything ... So if I don't have a dog to go hunting, I'll take a cat 😂 . The kit is good but for 400€ , not too shabby...! I don't know the name of those bars but maybe rack bars or something like that 😉

[@luqaqim86]

Nice throne

[@leticiasandrini642]

Is it possible to add another cymbal to this set?

[@rgsgauabawjdg9471]

Hello i have a question , which electric kit would you recommend i get the alesis nitro max or the Millenium MPS-450? Thank you

[@lena8316]

i kinda had the same question. but I did some research and I think Alexis is better. which one did you buy?

[@rgsgauabawjdg9471]

@lena8316 haven't had the chance to buy either one of them yet but I will as soon as I can. I think I'm gonna go for the alesis :)

[@hisham_hm]

same 3-level-only (open/half/close) hihat pedal, right?

[@dylanjoseph0]

yes

[@hisham_hm]

@@dylanjoseph0 thanks!

[@nyxrex45]

Which Donner kit would you recommend in this price range? (if any)

[@65DrumShortsChannel]

None really

[@maddzyreviews6612]

Yea mate I had to get a cheap 10 inch snare stand just for the snare drum the arm sucks

[@LuckyFullPR]

I think you got the thing that hit the foot drum reversed.

[@kishor591]

Dual pedal supported??

[@lambertstarr1218]

Yes

[@jchope777]

Is the Surge better than this?

[@crow6562]

yes

[@Unc1ecee]

Can my son use headphones and spare the house of the loud sound?

[@lena8316]

yes

[@StumptownDrummer]

Pass. I'll take a VAD507 or a DTX10 any day. Oh, and Simmons suck.

[@didgeteria9068]

I bought one!!!!!!

[@marshalfaull5205]

The titan 50 has more seamless bluetooth with pad indicators and imo, a far better sound bank, dont waste your money get a simmons !

[@65DrumShortsChannel]

I agree the Titan 50 is a better deal

[@toupet10]

​@@65DrumShortsChannelIs Simmons quality as good as Alesis?

[@pizzaman1694]

Why does it look like the kick drum pedal is on backwards? Can you use it both ways with the hard part facing the kick drum?

[@biswajitnath804]

Yez... You can use both ways... But using the hard part on the bass drum is recommended since the soft side will wear it off quickly
