Reddit mentions of Alesis Drums Nitro Mesh Kit | Eight Piece All Mesh Electronic Drum Kit With Super Solid Aluminum Rack, 385 Sounds, 60 Play Along Tracks, Connection Cables, Drum Sticks & Drum Key included

that's a lot of horse power dude. I wouldn't spend over $500, especially if it's unclear if your son will be into it. Just make sure whatever you get has midi out. This set looks like a decent compromise https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BW1XJGP

Feel free to msg me if you want any advice or need a sounding board. I've recently been doing a lot of midi stuff with drums and keyboard and researching amps.

Run $299-350 usd usually.... need midi pro adapter and din midi cable.

I honestly still have to do the research myself. :P

I think the general consensus for good "cheap" e-kits are the Alesis Drum Nitro Mesh Kit.

400 dollars wont get you anything great but this one isnt too bad.

You can also check your local music store for something you like.

I have an Alesis nitro kit im a beginner as well and it’s pretty cool, you can buy an extra Tom and crash as an add-on and the module has lots of customization, you can find other pages for cheaper, as well as the mesh kit

It's just $350 for a mesh kit. But in my country it's around $500.

Thanks for the reply! I have my eyes on Alesis Nitro Mesh kit for sometime. The reviews are good and it's not that expensive.

Lots of Alesis Nitro Mesh users around here. Here’s a link:

I will say that in the electronic drum world, “good” and “cheap” are rarely seen holding hands.

Im on the same predicament, only that i've already have the ION from last gen, but i've always wnated to improve my drumset.

Im looking a couple of sets, but my apartment is not that big and also dont want to make a lot of noise, but one my goals is to take the drum experience further. The sets i got an eye on are these:

I'd like that you guys, with a vast experience in playing RB with an e-kit, could point wich one would you pick, with con's and pro's if possible.

Thanks!

Is a kit like this one pretty good?

I bought myself an Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit a few months back and I've been loving it. I play it way more frequently than I did my acoustic kit and I've yet to have my neighbors come over and bitch about the noise! It has its flaws to be sure, but all in all it's a great kit for the money.

Last month I ordered the Alesis Nitro Mesh Kit from Amazon. I think the kit was $350, but I ordered a throne, small amp (which I don’t need), iPhone aux cord, and nice headphones to go with it, so my total was closer to $450.

Amazon had a payment plan for the kit itself where I pay like $60 a month for 6 months.

It’s not the greatest quality set by any means, but it does the job and sounds fairly reasonable. It comes with most everything you need (except headphones and throne). All pedals are included.

Ok, just as a starting point and over budget at $349USD (assuming you're in the US):

You can probably get cheaper Alesis Nitro kits which are non-mesh and also start looking down the second hand path. I would say stretch and get a mesh kit because is quieter and worse case you can sell it for a small loss if you're that disappointed with the whole setup, which I doubt will happen. I reckon any person will improve 10% straight away with an ekit vs a toy kit because of better kick drum, responsiveness and adjustability of position of the kit. I spent heaps on the Alesis Surge Mesh never having players drums and only just started on Rock Band and about four months in I'm super happy and even spent more buying new drumsticks, double kick pedals and other stuff. I love it, and any mistakes when I play are now mine and not the equipment.

Is that too expensive or are you thinking something cheaper?
