Alesis Strike Pro Kit - Setup and Trigger Settings

[@davidbeischer3627]

Steveo, we really miss you on jackass.

[@joshuapeterson5606]

I previously had the Roland TD-15KV which was a solid kit and had decent sound especially for that year. However, I was in the market for a new e-drum kit, and I assumed I'd be buying another Roland and had my eye on the TD-25KVX. I then started hearing rumbles about the Alesis Strike and the amazing sound and feel that the Alesis delivered. After hours of research (always needed when spending thousands of $$$) between the Strike Pro and Roland TD-25KVX, I took a leap of faith, stepping away from the only thing I knew (Roland), and bought the Strike Pro. I just finished setting the kit up last weekend, and just turning the module on and playing the first kit listed, which is the Burch kit, I was completely blown away. Once I started creating my own kit and layering triggers, that took it to a whole new level, and every time I play it, I just smile with amazement. This is by far the closest thing to a real acoustic kit that I've ever experienced from an e-drum. I can't attest to reliability because I've only had it for a few days, but nonetheless, I feel like I've made the best decision.

I've seen many videos on this kit but your video gave me more useful tips than many of the others. I mean it man, even the way you setup you kit inspired me to just use cymbal stands instead of my entire rack. I've done it before, and I would have probably come up with it eventually, but the point is you saved me a lot time and effort. That also includes the hi hat settings too. These hi hats have been kicking my ass and the one thing I needed to finally get this figured out, you were able to provide. Thanks for posting!

[@Silent-Lucidity]

Just purchased my Strike Pro kit and absolutely love it!! The kit was easy to set up, the module is very intuitive and has excellent sound. I was looking to buy this kit or the Roland TD17KVX and I made my choice based on the module, look and feel. The Strike Pro was an easy choice.

[@suarezroberto]

Please...post your settings for all parameters. I´ll be the first to thank you!

[@juliantait2619]

I absolutely love this drum set. I'm having so much fun

[@iandguzman]

still having fun after a year? think of buying one, any tips?

[@Brandonbikes]

Update?

[@protobuster12]

@@Brandonbikes I know I’m not the guy but there’s a couple problems with the Strike pro that have been fixed with the Pro Se. if you want one of these I recommend the SE as it also includes a 20” kick drum. Just my opinion tho :)

[@anthonyhewitt9397]

This is so useful to me as a alesis owner

[@christianmartinez1710]

Thank you for explaining the hi hat set ups. Been having trouble adjusting mine to the right levels. This video really helped me out! 🤜🤛

[@ikigai47]

4:27 The Alesis manual says you're supposed to remove the felt washer under the hh control module: _"The hi-hat control module will go on first. But before placing the hi-hat control module on your hi-hat stand, look for and remove any felt washers that would sit directly beneath the control module on the cymbal seat (i.e. where a real bottom hi-hat cymbal would normally be resting)."_

[@georgesmith6395]

I have owned the strike pro for about a month and a half, and was excited as anyone would be to start playing. Within just the first week, the ride cymbal triggers were not functioning properly. I was only getting the bow and edge. Replaced the cymbal and it worked fine for a few days and then tech support suggested that the brand new cable was bad. I was sent a complete new cable set up. So far so good. NOW.....one of my crash cymbals are malfunctioning. Over all I have spent about 3500.00 bucks on the kit when I added 2 new 2000 watt Bluetooth power monitors. Compared to my old Roland kit, the sound is good as well as the feel, but the versatility and reliability just is not there compared to Roland. Would be nice to have a product tested more intensely BEFORE it is sent out to the public for sale. All in all, it is a good kit. The module allows for distinct sound modifications with lots of parameters. I actually was able to integrate cymbals from my Roland kit to the Alesis kit with little to no trouble.

[@stevepompei3694]

Recently got a strike pro se kit. Came with a single upper style hi hat, is the double one show here newer, or older version, and which is better? Thanks

[@shawnlothamer5201]

Need to add the ability to do Program Send and Receive over midi!!!

[@TrevorGray4758]

The fact out of box I have so many issues with the SE is kinda disappointing. I had a Roland back in the day I think TD-20 don’t remember but I do remember not having many issues at all. Well anyways can’t afford one now but this things gotta work soon or ima freak out!

[@suarezroberto]

I have Alesis and i´ve learned to like them...but it took a lot of work and stress. Let´s face it...Alesis modules are very tricky to configure...I think they should send in the manual a standard general config of the many variables, so then each drummer goes his own personal way...thank´s

[@Noah-gq7pq]

stress you got that rite im lookin for a roland this thn is shit

[@drumhaver223]

Just noticed that the felt washer is sitting under the hi-hat control module. Isn't that supposed to come off??

[@louismecka3663]

Haha,I thought so also, the Alesis site says remove that bad boy....lol

[@Wavyink]

How many additional jacks are left after plugging everything into the module? I currently have a DM-10 and would like to use parts from it to add on to this one if I decide to get it.

[@user-wh6sp6st8s]

None

[@rockerseven]

Is it possible to add more toms/cymbals? Or if not, is there a way to split the signal going into the module, and say have 2 single zone cymbals vs 1 dual zone?

[@EddieSlowhands]

HI THERE DAN. ! EDDIE FROM THE UK HERE. I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A NITRO MESH KIT AND TREATED MYSELF TO A STRIKE 14 INCH SNARE DRUM AND CRASH CYMBAL. I CAN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION ON CORRECTLY TENSIONING THE SNARE - CAN YOU HELP PLEASE ? I'M LOVING THE KIT WHICH I BOUGHT FOR MY HOME STUDIO. CHEERS DAN - EDDIE.

[@Jeffmd2020]

I just got my brand new strike pro SE kit on Friday and I haven’t been able to play cause the edge and bow triggers of the symbols won’t trigger correctly or one will hit instead of the other so setting a custom kit is literally impossible and I’ve noticed when hitting the symbol closest to the floor Tom next to the ride symbol my module will show the ride is also being triggered. I have version 1.5 is that the most up to date version?

[@joerybczyk2960]

Now my problem is, for an example purposes, 70bpm, a kick on 3 and 3e. The 3 registers but the 3e does not. 16 note kicks.As soon as I lower the re-trigger setting below 62 the multiple triggers return. I tried turning up the sensitivity as well, but that did not help.Also my OS version on the Module is: Trigger OS v1.50 and DSP OS v1.50Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[@MrBbendiksen]

Jackass Steve-O, you're looking better these days. Keep it up bro

[@perefectflow]

Can the high hats be used with a drop clutch for double bass pedal use

[@Pensa_a_un_numero]

Is it sold in Italy?

[@jwhipple5567]

wow. a video specifically titled with "trigger settings" and he talked about exactly one trigger setting. I guess an explanation of the other trigger settings would've been too much to ask. Oh well, I guess I'll go read the manual. HAHA Oops. The manual barely says anything either. Does anyone at Alesis know how their system works, or just the one guy in China who designed it?

[@Noah-gq7pq]

rite on bro i got the same stuff,,they told me go to you tube,,all these guys wanna do is play drums

[@Noah-gq7pq]

good luck brother been there the engineer at alesis did nt know shit

[@spiralout91]

1) If I wanted to add 2 more cymbals, lets say a 2-zone and 3-zone (in addition to the 2-zone and 3-zone included) can I use the unused 4th tom input to the connect to the bell input of the additional 3-zone cymbal and program it to have a cymbal bell? In general, can that 4th tom input (or any tom input) be used to add a cymbal instead of a tom? 2) Is the newer hihat configuration with only the top cymbal compatible with older models?

[@JAGINTENSE]

How do u perform dynamics on the kick drrum on the special edition set. I have tried playing softer yet the kick drum sound is the same.

[@SoCalDan530]

The power supply went bad. After Alesis sent me a new power supply, I've had this issue: The overall volume of the module is now so low, I have to turn up everything to 99, and faders to 100. Even at that, there's a lot of whirring noise on top of the sound. This is not good.

[@TRONAUSTIN]

I can’t get any sound to come Out help plz

[@cleverestx]

Never instructions are advised to take the bottom felt of the stand (unlike this older video) and the spring is now silver/metal, not black (not counting the black cap) on newer shipments of the Strike Kit.

[@culstroproductions4254]

[@joseluisguerrero6098]

Hello ¡ Does anyone know if the alesis pro x hihat is compatible with the alesis surge mesh kit module?

[@chrismcsomething1]

It says in the instructions that you aren't supposed to press the for pedal and then tighten the clutch, but how are you supposed to get a closed hi hat sound without pressing the pedal? Like while using double bass?

[@e8tballz]

Chris Burke they don’t even know.

[@carolyncobb8412]

Can you direct me to a setup video for Se

[@sheyadkins6524]

Yeah I bought this three years ago. Took me 8 months before it started falling apart, crappy plastic triggers, kick was garbage, hihat was garbage, ride was garbage. The over all build of this kit is awful.

[@thunderdrummerdude]

Hi hat is crap. I have calibrated that thing so many times, it’s hardly consistent. Hardly any open or closed high hat sounds when pressing my pedal. Going to use my real high hat at my next gig to save my sanity.

[@e8tballz]

Matt Fite get a used VH 11 from Roland. It’s def the trigger in the hats.

[@spiderrable]

[@AndrewJPlays]

Suddenly my hi hat stopped working. It takes about 1 in 10 hits. What am I doing wrong? Do I need new cords?

[@nimrodsasson1123]

i played this kit today, it has some limitations. it seems the cymbals and HiHat wont have a trigger for the Bell. does any one know how to make it works ? is it just a configuration ? or it just wont work ?

[@joerybczyk2960]

From what I gather only the ride has the bell capabilities.

[@nimrodsasson1123]

@@joerybczyk2960in roland that depand on your configuration. each stereo cable has two different modes. so it depand on the pad capabilities. for example in my roland drum pads pdx100 i can configure each head or rim sounds (tom sound and rim sound as cymbal). also in roland cymbals such as cy13r and cy12c i have head and rim sounds so each cymbal can be played as two different cymbals. in the hihat its only open/close sounds but also here i can configure open sound as one set and closed sound as other set. so i chose roland after all.

[@Mystninja]

would be a great kit if it was cheaper and not buggy. the tom mounts dip too.

[@Noah-gq7pq]

yes its a buggy mess ,,,yes the mounts suck

[@planetman1983]

I am trying to loose the tension of the drum head, I have already unscrewed almost one whole turn all of the screws but I cannot see any difference. The drum head is very tight and I have double triggering. How do I loose it?

[@SoCalDan530]

Raise the retrigger setting until the doubling disappears

its in the back dude ,,wow go figure who does this kind of shit alesis

i demoed these at guitar center. took me 30 minutes to get the thing set up and working. then the kick drum broke...glad i didn't buy these without a demo.

good for you ,,,you wont be sorry go roland

[@andrewmiller7415]

I bought them…and got fed up trying to get the hi hats to work properly. Even the help desk, or a local drum expert I paid to come to my house couldn’t fix…..Goethe rid of them….go back to Roland.

[@josephgiarraffa6379]

You do get a lot and look great but I still would prefer Roland Quality over quantity But these are nice and worth the money being it’s not much for all you get
