Alesis Nitro Max VS Nitro Pro | Which one's better?

[@Kstiggs]

i have been waiting for someone to compare these two side by side. Great review!!

[@karlaam2370]

Finally a video comparing these 2 drum sets!!!! Thanks for sharing, Alejandro!!!

[@black-fish-items]

Thank you so much for this review! This is exactly the kind of video I was missing! The Nitro Pro is my favorite. Despite the higher price, I think it’s better to go straight for this model. The Nitro Max also sounds great, but the Nitro Pro is definitely better, and the rack is clearly more stable and reliable. In Germany, the Nitro Pro costs €799.

[@mesomorph6124]

€799 ($864) versus $599 in my country. The price difference is significant... Why is this kit so much more expensive in Germany?

[@YokohamaSayonara]

@@mesomorph6124 Alesis is an American company. Their products are more expensive in Europe due to customs duties and taxes.

[@AlejandroSifuentes]

Bro I'm so glad you found this video helpful! Keep drumming and thanks for watching! 🥁🙏

[@gregwonhoff7161]

Alijandro, thank you so much for this great comparison. I’m not in a financial situation to even consider an e-kit, but I still enjoy learning about them. Thank you again.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@bruhcsp]

I just bought the Alesis Nitro Pro, thanks for the comparison, it helped me make my decision!

[@idelta_vengeance4768]

Im soo glad I waited to get my 1st Ekit im getting the nitro pro for sure

[@youtubevitee3989]

I'm on the verge too! Literally just looking around for a drum kit, and I was to buy the max, but the pro came out and... I guess I'm gonna choose the Pro!

[@moist.teabag]

​@@youtubevitee3989 Think I'd rather go max it comes up at half the price of the pro

[@scottdculver]

Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for in a review of these 2 sets. Leaning towards the Pro. Dual zones on all drums and that snare does look nice.

[@dannyharpermusic]

Just ordered the Nitro Pro for my studio. I have a Yamaha acoustic set of drums, but thought this would be a great addition to the studio! Thanks for the video!

[@adventureawaits3646]

I'm just in the early stages of research and trying to decide what might be right for me as total beginner, I don't like buying the cheapest version of things, but as beginner also don't want to spend crazy money, I think the Pro might just be the ticket. I prefer mesh heads over rubber for the more natural feel and like the extra features the Pro has over the Max. If I end up not getting into drumming after a while, it should be easy to sell without too much of a loss, and if I do get into it, it's most likely the only set I'll ever need, I just play with instruments for fun at home. Thanks for the comparison video, answers the questions I had after looking at both models.

[@ricardoruanogonzalez]

if you play death metal or anything that requires double at high speeds DONT buy the max, here in this video the double kick sound acceptable, but if youre are playing double kick at 250 , hell even at like 190, the double kick stops responding to certain hits, and if you play heel toe, is even worse.

[@krissimon2502]

Just picked up the pro for $479 on sale. They also had the max on sale for $339, but I think the sturdy frame and extra height alone is worth the extra money

[@davidstuart3684]

Where did you purchase @ $479? Ty

[@krissimon2502]

@@davidstuart3684 guitar center. They had 20% off everything sale.

[@KeLPlays24]

Can you do a video on setting up the module to make it sound more like an acoustic one (Nitro max)

[@mondzishere]

i recently got the nitro pro and your videos helped so much, sick videos dude!

[@josephsosa776]

Muchas gracias Senor Sifuentes! This helped me make my decision!

[@Matt-mm9jb]

Hi. Thank you for the comparison. I bought Nitro Max only because, as a new drummer, the features on Nitro Max will be enough for me. Also in small flat it is easy to move and storage. For £250 more for features, what I will not use for a long time it is the best choice in my chumble opinion. Thank you.

[@albertklassen6055]

Thanks for a great video. 😊

[@ThePyroKnight]

Exactly the review i was looking for

[@CherylColeman-g3s]

Thank you for introducing me to electric drums! I am going to look into it. I want to learn the drums and this is easier to find specs for.

[@PramodRaiK]

Thank you for the review!

[@DavidSusiloUnscripted]

For such a small delta in price, people should just buy the pro. And if you don’t have the budget, go for the cheaper one. But what do I know? I haven’t played the drums for almost 30 years (used to be a drum teacher and pro session musician - drums, synth, piano, vocal)

[@denohmwas]

Nice review. I had the original Alesis Nitro from 2016. Worked perfectly with the double kick drum pedals. Want to upgrade to the Max due to bluetooth.

[@jaimesanchez5066]

Question..... Can be added extra pads or cymbals to both kits?

[@codenamecatatonic8894]

I think there’s an expansion cymbal & pad ?

[@oskyy2000]

Yeah for both kits you have expansion pack

[@krissimon2502]

Just picked up the pro for 479 usd on sale. They had the max on sale dor 339, but I think the sturdy frame and the extra height alone is worth the extra money .

[@Alexis-sj1pv]

Yes you can. You have the option of the extra pad + cymbal. Or just adding some adapted cables to the module and add many cymbals or tom pads as you need...and to embelish the thing, put all this working trough a vst plugin from Mixwave and the Roland VMH-D1 headphones and you will be happy!

[@JPEspulgar]

Perfect comparison!

[@rayjaytotime]

I JUST WANNA STATE MY SUPPORT FOR THE DEBUT KIT, ITS REALLY NOT THAT BAD.

[@do8671]

Do you have some Indian percussions, thunders effects, gongs, or any other percussions like Danny Carry would use in Tool?

[@nash.bandicoot]

Will the expansion kit for the nitro max work with the nitro pro? Are the mounts interchangeable? I want to have a second crash.

[@r.t.5997]

Yeah, that is my question too. I have this Expansion Kit for the nitro max and would really miss the second crash and the fourth tom, despite I wouldn‘t have to buy an additional Expansion for the pro

[@nash.bandicoot]

@@r.t.5997 It works with the pro. I bought the kit for mine. The clamps won't though. I had to buy the 1.5" clamps off the surge kit to mount them

[@r.t.5997]

@ cool, Thanks for the Info. If there is maybe a blackweek offer, i guess i am gonna buy the Pro.

[@Lucassaoke]

Hola Alejandro, queria consultarte y que me dijeras la mejor opcion, estoy pensando en comprar una bateria electronica, y estoy entre la Alesis nitro pro, que es lo ultimo que a sacado Alesis, o la Alesis DM10II pro kit, que es algo mas antigua, segun tu cual es mejor? ambas me gusta

[@xphantomx7271]

I hope someone answers this question but I’ve been looking into electric drum bc I’ve been playing the acoustic ones since I was little. I wanna get the Nitro Pro but I’m worried abt the drums breaking when I play. I don’t go crazy and hit them really hard but I’ve never have electric drums before. So can someone pls tell me if the Pro is a good buy and if they break easily?

[@harshil6970]

are you talking about breaking the heads or the rack parts? i own the nitro max but ive played on the strata prime and pro as well and in terms of build quality and setup, pro and max are pretty much same tho strata prime, surge and strike pro have a steel rack the rack is aluminium but the joints and connectors are plastic; they arent that fragile but dont try to twist the joints cuz well, its plastic ofc. but overall i feel like apart from being a tad bit wobbly at first, there shouldnt be any problem in practicing with them the drum mesh heads dont break i suppose, unless something sharp strikes right through it

[@xphantomx7271]

@ thanks bro, I was just worried abt something breaking in the heads when I play them. Like the technology part that make the noise and connects to the computer

[@carcastlo30]

Hola, donde conseguiste el pedal extra y la pieza para colocarlo?

[@chrheca]

Does the taller snare make it more loud in real life? Not the eletronic sound but the sound of the stick hitting the mesh

[@gadinganggaraputrap1297]

Should I just get Nitro Max right now or just wait until Nitro Pro is available in my local stores? I couldn't afford to import one.

[@SepticTank-j2w]

The Alesis nitro max supports double bass kick things. I’m new to drums

Alesis nitro max is plenty good for practice. I’ll never use an electronic kit at a live gig. Always acoustic drums.

I’m getting the nitro max with a double kick and the expansion and maybe fix the rack

[@nickferriday788]

Hi everyone, does anybody know if Alesis are going to bring out an expansion pack for the Pro kit like they did with the Nitro Max kit ? Cheers guys.

[@TheJuzzmezz]

Yep it called XL

[@nickferriday788]

@TheJuzzmezz Thank you for the information

[@MiniCrissss]

i think you should review the fesley e drum kit i would love to see a reviewer from you

[@sonicsponys]

Nice job

[@alecsampaio2856]

So sad I can't find the Pro in Brazil

[@VictorVectorMusic]

Dual tom zones? Who rim shots their toms?...thats called a mis-hit lol. I do like that snare though but Im very satisfied with my nitro max that I picked up for just 240 bucks delivered from a Musicians Friend flash member sale.

[@CooperTrice]

I have a Simons sd200 and the stability of the rack is not good at all so i taped weights to its support beams🤣

[@EjiroBabatunde-ot9et]

hi alejandro new subscriber can you please do a video of u chopping on the drum kit

[@tanyaanderson7924]

[@bigword3744]

These sounds don't feel too dynamic.

[@randytrinidad1701]

Alesis nitro max is the best 🥇

[@Andy-xj2zi]

Nitro Max ist better 👍😎

[@ItsFrancescoTdm]

Something that wasn't mentioned here is that although the Nitro Pro comes with dual zone tom pads. The Nitro Max module perfectly works with dual zone tom pads, it just doesn't come with dual zone toms.

[@Bluelijah14]

Talk to me 😡. 😄🥾😡😧. Hellp Me!

[@Iamadrummer]

The Alesis Nitro Pro is better than the Nitro Max. That said, I can not really recommend it. Alesis is known to make budget friendly e-kits. They are improving some of them by coming out with a bit better Pro versions. For a first e-kit, the Nitro Pro will get you started into drumming. The problem is that the sounds are not that great. The shotgunning is very obvious. The hi-hat on the rack gives a different feel than one on a hi-hat stand. The only e-kit I can recommend from Alesis is the Strata Prime e-kit. The Strata Prime e-kit is much more like an accustic drum set than any of their others. You can have fun with a budget friendly low tier e-kit, and you can learn the basics of drumming on them. The problem is that once you become good at playing the Nitro Pro or any lower-end budget friendly e-kit, the transition to an accustic drum set or a high-end e-kit is difficult as the feel, playability, functionality, and sound are so different you will have a relearning curve. My suggestion is to not waste your money on a budget friendly e-kit as down the road you will want to spend more money on it for upgrades. I personally would just buy a higher-end e-kit that actually plays, performs, and sounds 99% just like an accustic drum set. This way, you will not need to spend extra money on upgrades or having to buy a better e-kit down the road. The other thing with learning on a high-end e-kit is that you will learn how to play a drum set properly without a relearning curve. Sadly, most drummers refer to the Nitro Pro or any lower-end budget friendly e-kit just toys of a drum set. I know, good e-kits are expensive but worth saving up for, and in the long run, it will save you money as you will not need to upgrade or buy a better kit down the road as a good high-end e-kit has everything just like an accustic drum set. I am really not sure why people are excited for upgraded versions of lower-end budget friendly e-kits when there are much better high-end ones for not much more money. In the comments, I see that people who have the Nitro Max are excited for and want the Nitro Pro. If those people just sell their Nitro Max or other lower-end e-kit and take the money they would spend on the Nitro Pro, they could actually afford a higher-end, much better e-kit. Does a guitar player first learn on a plastic toy of a guitar? Then why start learning drums on a budget friendly lower-end e-kit that will not really teach you great or proper drumming?

[@bukfareed]

What do you recommend, @iamadrummer

[@wraith29A]

The problem is, the Nitro Max costs like 400€, while the Strata Prime is over 3000€. That is eight times the difference, and not everyone -- especially beginners -- can afford it.

[@zonansg4212]

whats your opinion on the roland td-07, and td-17? Supposedly they are much closer in sound to an authentic acoustic kit than alessis kits. I would appreciate a response. I'm looking to get into drumming and currently doing research on the differences pro/cons

[@ronnietruman7296]

This guy trolls every video about Alesis kits without any constructive comments. He said in another comment that he uses an $8k kit….
