Posted on | July 1, 2010 | No Comments
The Alesis DM5 Pro Electronic Drum Kit makes electronic drumming available to everyone. The Alesis DM5 Pro is an affordable, 5 piece kit that utilizes the classic Alesis drum module. It gives the user professional, high-quality sound capabilities and excellent playability.
To generate sounds electronically, instead of acoustically, the DM5 Pro makes use of several key features. It offers an amazing 540 sound choices including drum, percussion, and cymbal. The kit’s dual zone snare, three toms, kick, crash, ride, hi-hat cymbal pads, and hi-hat foot pedal allow both beginners and advanced drummers to enjoy premium sound.
When buying the DM5 you are getting Dynamic Articulation, an ‘Alesis only’ feature that makes this kit more than worth its already affordable price. Every sound the drummer produces is a series of sample sounds. Dynamic Articulation adjusts the tone and pitch. This gives the electronic sound a realistic quality found nowhere else. It takes these samples and changes the timbre of the drum or cymbal depending on how hard or soft the drummer is playing. Other drum kits produce sounds based on volume alone.
Very Brainy!
There are other advantages to the DM5. The kit is very lightweight. The stand is made from aluminum that makes it easy to carry. Portability is a big plus whether the kit will be used at home or on the road.
The DM5 Pro kick pad is phenomenal. When using it a drummer will have a hard time telling the difference between the DM5 Pro and an acoustic set. The drum pads are also first rate. The sensitivity of these pads and the fact that they hardly ever misfire should be reason enough to choose this set over the competition.
As with any drum kit, the focus is on the brain. The DM5 Pro brain will not let you down. It includes a MIDI I/O that makes it appropriate for programmers, composers, and sequencers. A huge selection of different controllers is compatible with the brain – keyboards, pad trigs, an MPC, and much more. Alesis includes a wide range of already installed studio effects such as reverb and ambiance that ensure a complete sound.
User Friendly
Reviews for the DM5 Pro are extremely positive. One customer thinks it is the best choice for this or any price category and is very user friendly. Countless reviewers give high marks to the Alesis exclusive, Dynamic Articulation.
The Alesis DM5 Pro Electronic Drum Kit is an excellent buy. Purchase it today and you will be playing the day it arrives. It is that simple to set up and that user friendly!
