Alesis DM6 Electronic Drum Kit Demo

[@FilGee100]

Yes, There is a Metal preset that changes the hi hat to a second kick pedal. or you could just use a double kick pedal on the pad like you would with a real kick drum.

[@paulsummerside]

Early on in this video there were a load of naff novelty sounds. Along with one patch that had a couple of really nice drum sounds ruined by daft sounds coming off the cymbals. Near the end of the 15 main patches some actual drum kit sounds that are at least usable started to come along. So glad I carried on watching. As I would totally discount this kit completely otherwise.

[@jacobwalters85]

I had the DDrum DD1, which is the identical kit with a different brain. It lasted two years of my playing daily until I sold it. It was really sturdy.

[@healingsoundsnature5417]

Thank you for the beautiful drum video "❤". God bless you and all your family. Have a nice day. thank you....🙏💕

[@joelcoool]

What you don't notice is how little you can move each pad. Also, the cymbals make a really loud noise when hit. They also scratch/get white marks really easy.

I owned this kit for 1 1/2 years and it did exactly what I needed it to do, sadly I lost it in a shipping accident (I lived overseas and a TON of water got into the containers). The one thing I regret doing is not buying an amp, you need one of those. I would recommend to any beginners, you can get this kit used for $120-$220 USD. If you want an acoustic, pearl export series hands down.

[@mercurialdrum]

I've just bought this. I'm a beginner. OK, so it's not the best in the world, but I've been playing it now for a while and it does what I wanted it to do. It's compact, it fits into the relatively small space I have, it sounds good. It allows me to practise and find my own rhythm, my own voice. I may move on to something sharper, more dynamic and with more options - but that comes at a price, and right now I don't know if I'll need or want that. This is a good, solid kit to start out with and learn to discover.

[@jamesrossi7083]

I have An Alesis DM6 and have had nothing but problems with it, have had to replace triggers manually soldering new ones in the kick pedal and the snare 2 times, finally had enough, bought a BehringerXD80, now that is an awesome Kit that wont Break the bank, the Behringer is amazing, so much better, and cheaper.

[@DrummerLung]

James Rossi I had something similar to this kit, the only difference really was the module. I detested the drum heads on it as it seemed to almost grab hold of the stick at times, not a lot of bounce. I had a problem with the triggers too, particularly the snare and cymbals. Eventually I didn't even plug it in to play and one of the cymbals finally snapped.

[@jamesrossi7083]

Ryan McGuigan That's a Shame, i really had high hopes for it and for the first few months it was OK, then it started to fall apart. I hear Alesis have upped their game and the high end kits like the DM10 studio are really good kits, but i have been burnt once. not gonna risk it.

[@DrummerLung]

When I was buying my first kit to practice on at home, I dreamed of the DM5. Years later, when I had a bit of money, I found out they discontinued the series which sucked.

[@Ninja-uh6yn]

I've had a DM6 for about a year, no problems except ones due to lack of consistent matenence.

[@Oliver1917th]

Have you tried putting the hi hat on a different rack to the snare?

[@jugrnotable]

DeadPistolsBrainGerms is it a delay effect maybe?

[@illegalnights]

@W0Y4K i have been using this kit for years and it looks like its a very common problem with DM6, so basically whenever you hit the hihat hard enough in the right spot, the kit thinks that you are playing the snare too..

[@sirbader1]

Its because the hardware has not been tightened properly, I have 0 issues with it when clamped down.

[@desmond9330]

Just got the kit delivered 7/17/18. Some sensitivity near the cymbal mounts. If you hit them it triggers the snare randomly... Pretty solid considering I paid $279 for it. I was able to build a decent sounding kit out of the 108 selections. Pretty top heavy so make sure you have the legs positioned right. All in all I can't complain.

[@Suasasusaus]

I use it since like ~8-9 months, It's great for beginners, I learned a lot. But now it's pain that it doesn't have any "free" inputs for additional pads (DM10 has) and I usually sacrifice 3rd tom for ride etc. I've learned a lot and now I'm looking forward to buy either DM10 or expanded acoustic set. I'm also going to sell my DM6 because it's still in perfect condition. Nothing bad happened to pads or anything. Everything works fine, I even broke stick on these pads :)

[@ahdowns]

You can't add on to this kit. I bought one of these and it is a pretty good deal for the price. They are usually $ 399, but I found it on Amazon for $ 350, including shipping. I am not a pro and just wanted something to practice on. A lot of the parts are plastic, but I guess that what you get for that kind of money. If I was a serious pro, I'd get a Roland or a Pintech. A friend has about a $ 1,000. Pintech and it is really fun to play.

[@m.muvaffakismen1746]

[@mariomariado]

Hey, nice review. Made me finally deciding to go for this one, as a similar-featured Yamaha costs twice as much. I have 2 questions: 1) Can you hit the border of the snare to make it sound like when you hit only the metal border of the drum in an acoustic (with the stick flat across the drum? 2) Is it true that these kits have static sound in the background, no matter if playing thru headphones or amplifier? Or does your doesn't present this issue at all? Thanks for the video, man.

[@Randombikekid]

1): there is a side stick sound, but you can’t have both the rimshot and the snare.

[@Suasasusaus]

You can tune any of 108 sounds to any pad

[@paulhillson5798]

yes sound nice.be nice to see what amp and speakers you are running.as I think sound not coming from the drum kit it self.

[@georginafairchild7609]

Why do my drums sound clumpy compared to yours? Any advice on setting up and using the brain. Thanks

[@kunns123]

the kit is good enough. the only problem is the build quality. it can easily dismantle if you hit hard enough. Well, screw everything tight. tight af. it works for me. no problem in months as such only minor screw looses and all. Its a budget kit. the build quality could've been better. but everything else is good enough

[@bedroomstudios2614]

I've had this exact drum kit for 6 years and trust me, it works with any kind of guitar or bass amp. When this isolation finishes I am going to try it with a bigger speaker with a cabinet. You just need a 3.5 plug cable (the one you use for earphones) with a 6.3 plug adapter (the one used for guitars) and that's all. Cheers!

[@georginafairchild7609]

@@bedroomstudios2614 thank you. I'll get a guitar amp. I also have a problem getting sounds out of the kit depending on where I strike with the drum stick. I was given the kit and don't have a manual. Any advice will be welcome. Thank you

[@bedroomstudios2614]

@@georginafairchild7609 that's weird because the toms are very resposive, very limited on sounds and dynamics but responsive. What I find difficult is to find where the ride sounds like a bell. Maybe the pads are not working, I fixed one of them with some soldering iron.

[@davidcohen_]

sounds nice, it would be cool if you could add double pedal

[@joelcoool]

You can, I have one with a pearl double pedal and it's fine

[@TopFloorEricc]

ThunderHawk606 With one of the Yamaha kits you can use the high hat pedal as a second kick pedal and do double bass with it. Do you know if you can dod it with this kit? I'm not a great player, I'm more of a guitarist, but I like to record Rock and Metal. Is this kit any good?

[@joelcoool]

You have to change the hi hat to a bass drum, and then you can't use the hi hat, so i think it's best just to get an actual double pedal. with those yamaha ones you don't have a hi hat pedal which is annoying, but with this one you don't have a hi hat at all because you can't change them seperately

[@TopFloorEricc]

ThunderHawk606 Cool, thanks. I've got a double bass pedal already but I just wanted to see if there were other options. Nice profile pic btw. Just noticed that

[@andretempler]

I'm trying to get one for a good price on ebay cause I want to combine it with the turbo mesh I have. Put both on the dm6 rack so I have 4 toms instead of 3 and 2 extra pad where I can put some bongos or whatever and I'll have 2 different crash's and 2 rides! That thing will be huge. Then I'll add a double pedal for the kickdrum. One hihat pedal and hihat will be spare. The rest I'll put on. Maybe even combining the 2 racks. Put some parts of the turbo on the dm6 so I have space to put the additional toms and crash's and maybe one more leg for stabilization. If I really get it I'll upload a video of the finished thing. Imagine having both modules so I can have a normal drum kit and add another with a slightly different sound so it will be like a real huge drumset! I will try if I can put the turbo mesh pads to the dm6 module cause I like them more for the main drumset and put the dm6 pads to the turbo module for the additional parts. Do you think a double kick pedal will work on the dm6 kickdrum? Will have to be very close together so I will hit the little pad with both.. There videos out there that show that it works just fine.

About the snare thing... I believe there is a firmware update that will fix this. I read it is tricky to do but will work. Ok this kit is not hi end but it is decent enough to learn on. I like it. Triggers my DAW drums which is cool but latency is an issue.
