How long you use it?

Purchased three weeks ago. We intend to use live in areas too small to better adjust our volume.

Did you tried many other models before buying it?

I had a DM6 that I sold to go upmarket.
I could try a yamaha DTXPRESS

What is so special that you love the most, least?

Let's start with what angry: factory settings are fucking evil. We must set up each component. Crosstalk also big problems: are, if you hit a tom for example, it is sometimes (often) a cymbal at the same time. This is due to the vibration transmitted to the rims, which are interpreted as a blow. Very frustrating. It is therefore necessary to update the module on the site and download the Alesis upd handy that eliminates this problem in one click:

Caution sold without bass drum pedal ... GRRRRRRRR!

Once the problems are solved ... this is happiness!
Already, aesthetically, I find it pretty. The rack is sturdy and generally well thought of.
The module is very comprehensive, sounds are more realistic for my taste.
They create their own little set from 1047 sounds. Enough to satisfy the most demanding.
The hit is not yet that of an acoustic but once in hand, it is not unpleasant. nicks skins are a little hard for purists but changeable.
Every rimshot is playable! Cool ...

How would you rate the quality / price?

It is clear qu'Alesis quite strong. Simply unbeatable!
The number of items offered as standard (bass drum, snare, 4 toms, 2 crash in which a étoufable, étoufable a wrinkle, a hi-hat) generally offered at less than 800 € all over the net. Its competitors are on the ground.

With experience, you do again this choice?

Yes, it certainly is not the Roland or Yamaha but with a reduced budget we can not cry foul against the small Alesis has everything a great.
It has flaws, but quickly erased by its qualities.
I recommend it for all those wishing to have a complete electronic drum kit, reliable and cheap.
