Alesis Strata Core 9-Piece Electronic Drum Kit

The Strata Core is a pro level e-kit that punches above its weight class rivaling alternative drum sets with higher prices and bigger footprints. Experience exceptional sound quality and realistic playability in this powerful yet compact addition to the Strata line. Living up to the meticulous standards set for the Alesis Strata line, the Strata Core offers drummers outstanding playability, exceptional sound quality, and durable curved steel rack construction with a compact footprint. Every detail of the Alesis Strata Core has been designed to deliver a responsive and natural experience for intermediate and experienced drummers. The all-mesh Strata drumheads have adjustable tension, the 360-degree ARC cymbals are free to move and respond like acoustic cymbals would, and the Active Magnetic hi-hat ensures crisp precision and accuracy.

The Core's drum sizes conserve much-needed space in a studio setup without compromising on playability. The dual-zone mesh toms offer a realistic feel, with ample mounting options thanks to the curved steel rack with reinforced mounts. The 12" dual-zone mesh snare drum and 12" hi-hat offer a superbly familiar response when playing. Paired with the 8" mesh kick, you'll immediately feel comfortable playing single or double kick pedals. All the premium physical components combined with the 7" touchscreen deliver a rugged, capable, and ready-to-play kit. Under the hood, a powerful BFD sound engine places a vast library of beautifully recorded drum kits at the tips of your sticks.

Drums
A dual-zone snare drum with independent sounds triggered on the head, rim click, and rim shot, followed by 8/8/10 toms and an 8" kick drum provides ample playing surface, suitable for all varieties of single and double kick drum pedals. The tension can be adjusted on all mesh heads, letting you set the exact level of rebound and expressiveness to your preference. Unnatural and unwanted hotspots' on the heads are eliminated with our unique patented anti-hotspot sensor design.

ARC Cymbals
Strata Cores ARC cymbals are exceptionally sensitive with a beautifully lathed surface. All three cymbals - the 14 ride and two 12 crashes - are triple-zone with different sounds triggered on the bell, bow, and edge of each cymbal. Theyre all 360-degree responsive, so that you can play anywhere throughout the cymbal and mount on standard acoustic arm mounts, which allows them to respond and swing naturally without restrictions. All cymbals have dual-edge sensors (patent pending) and profiles that allow incredible expressiveness without having to adjust your technique.

Hi-Hat
The 12 Active Magnetic hi-hat is a superbly playable magnetic, stand-mounted system. Like the cymbals, this triple-zone 360-degree playing surface is extremely responsive. Magnetic position sensing ensures that pedal movements are translated in high resolution, meaning the contactless system is unmatched in its accuracy. This module-powered unit can be used with a wide variety of hi-hat stands and playing techniques.

Hardware
The backbone of Strata Core is a curved steel rack where the toms, cymbals and module are mounted. Sturdy but flexible, it allows for spacious and compact footprints so you can adjust the kit to your ideal playing position for your setup. The ARC hi-hats mount to any hi-hat stand, and the 8" kick tower can accommodate any single or double pedal configuration. Crash and ride cymbals can be mounted to standard acoustic cymbal stands and are not bound to the rack mounts.
