The included cymbal pads are all 10″ in size and are dual-zone, giving you both an edge and a bow sound. The cymbal pads aren’t impressive but do get the job done for a kit in this range. Included Pedals

Also, you can program the processor to produce different sounds using MIDI I/O and ¼” and 1/8” I/O, as there is a provision for this on the module. I’d almost opt for eliminating the bell sound at that point. I doubt there’s a way to program that, given the limited module functionality. Getting Around the Sounds It’s not intuitive, but it is one way to get bell sounds out of a dual-zone cymbal pad. It’s not my favorite feature. The drum coach-mode has five different exercises to help with sharpening the skills of the drum player with regards to playing in time, stamina and strength, and groove tempo.

Software sample libraries like Addictive Drums 2 and EZ Drummer improve the sound of the kit dramatically, but you’ll need to use a computer and buy the software. pad controllers, and drums. Whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned pro looking to learn You have two different types of outputs on every drum module we make- your main audio outputs and your USB output. These have very different functions and are going to determine how you proceed. Your USB output is only going to send the raw midi messages from your hits to your computer. That means information like what drum you hit, how hard you hit it, and how long you let the note ring. It does not include the sound.

Similar to the pads, the cymbals also feature different samples for the varying velocities. If you hit the bow of the cymbal hard, a bell sample plays.

While this feature is nice, the transition between the velocity ranges is very noticeable. Cymbal Velocities Playing on the kit will give a feel and experience similar to playing on an acoustic drum set, with the way it is set up and the fact that it is made of mesh head further enhances this experience. The cymbals are fully shaped and nut half cut out like some other low priced electronic drum kits like the Yamaha DTX450K.

It also has a small LCD screen in between the power button and the volume button, for displaying ongoing functions and operations on the drum kit. The hi-hat controller functions decently as a stand-less controller, similar to other Alesis kits like the Surge Meshor Nitro Mesh. That said, it’s nowhere near the level of hi-hat controllers that utilize a stand. The ModuleThe Drum Coachfeature has five drum exercises that help build your stamina, work your groove, and improve your timing. Auxiliary Input For example, my kit, the Alesis Strike, doesn’t even have great sounds to my ears. That kit is 5x the price of the Turbo Mesh and has a much better module. The metronome features different time signatures and tempos from 30-280 BPM. Use a metronome while you practice if you aren’t already. It helps your timing more than you know. The hardware frame is lightweight steel and folds easily for storage. The kit goes together with relative ease and doesn’t take up a lot of space in a room. Both connections have their positives and negatives and it's important to do your own research before you try one or the other- an interface will probably cost as much as a good drum plugin that is on sale; the real difference being that Midi notes can be edited and quantized for mistakes and mixing, whereas you get you get what you get from your audio output and you will need to do your mix of the drums before you begin recording.

These different sounds enable the drummer to try different new things while getting familiarised and developing his drumming skill. Please also note that every pad on your kit is assigned a midi note that may need to be changed to trigger the right sample in the program you are attempting to use. Your user guide will have more information on changing the midi notes for your individual kits, but you may need to go to the program's manufacturer to find out what those midi notes are.
