Alesis Strata Prime Review & Demo | The Hi-Hat

[@SamPaterson]

Hopefully this answers any questions about the quality of the Alesis Strata Prime Hi-Hat.

[@nbsnowden]

Great video Sam. I am enjoying the set very much! I find that I am always adjusting settings just a little more here and there and the set is becoming more real feeling! It just takes tweaking to get it right and close to a real set feel. Obviously the rubber cymbals won't feel like real ones but the response and sound will. Thank you for recording your experience with this set!

[@SamPaterson]

I’m doing the exact same thing. Every slight adjustment really improves the kit, I agree!

[@Hossheq4w5]

thank you for taking my request! love it. you made my day a lot better :) subscribed and looking forward to your new publishes!

[@SamPaterson]

You are very welcome. Thank you for the suggestion

[@JHPRS]

I have this kit as well. Have you ever wondered why there is no option to backup your user kits, instruments, and trigger settings to usb or pc? I mean every drum module usually has this feature. It's even usually recommended to do a backup before doing a firmware update. What do you think?

[@SamPaterson]

That’s a good point, can you save it to an SD card? If not, they’ve missed an important feature there

[@Rose-kx9tw]

Ive noticed that when i play consecutive fast triplets or anything similar like sextuplets, that the hi hat misses triggers. Any suggestions

[@SamPaterson]

Unfortunately no. I also experience this issue and it seems that what ever I do to adjust settings, I still get a lot of missed triggers. Especially on the Snare and Kick, but also exactly as you mentioned.

[@Rose-kx9tw]

@SamPaterson thanks for the reply! It's still by far the best electric kit I've ever played and has proven to be durable

[@SamPaterson]

I agree, easily one of the best. I wish that we had the look and the price of the Alesis, but with Roland TD27kv2 internals

[@CoBrAChiCKeN948]

How do these compare to Rolands vh14d hi-hats?

[@SamPaterson]

Good question. The Roland is probably better but the strata prime is still good

[@jeffreblanco9552]

Is the module good?

[@SamPaterson]

100%. Looks good, simple to use and has a lot of features. This video might be helpful - kzbin.info/www/bejne/boXCe2ededGjnpIsi=LGByi2g_6kjJuvyh

[@ingakimberlybrown8637]

When your playing the hi hats pivot both of your hands towards each other almost like your palms facing towards the floor.

[@SamPaterson]

That doesn’t feel natural

[@ingakimberlybrown8637]

@@SamPaterson but it will eventually IF you get on the pad and are set up ergonomically. It’s a process.

[@SamPaterson]

It’s set up fine. Will this make me more precise and quicker? Why avoid something that feels natural and works well, in favour of something that isn’t natural?

[@RockyTop85]

I mean you are pushing an unsolicited opinion on someone who did not ask for it. This is fine, understanding it is just that: an opinion. His position is more of French style than German. I vacillate between both. Nothing of what he is doing is wrong or even bad. Stick to the point of the video.
