Pros:
1) High quality construction
2) Very good drum module with many features
3) A metronome with 3 different sounds to select from - this is HUGE plus! It is also very robust, you do not need to buy any external metronome.
4) Bluetooth connectivity works like a charm!
5) The module has a holder for phone or tablet, very convenient
6) The module allows you to change/assign midi codes for each item in the kit - this is HUGE!
7) The module has USB-B midi port, you can use to connect your iPad and leverage on midi integration. This is very useful for games and learning (among other things).
8) Additional parts are available for purchasing
9) The drums module acts as mixer for your drums and whatever external stereo audio source you may want to use (I usually use Youtube on iPad). In other words, no need to buy separate mixer unless you want to connect microphones or more than one audio source.
Cons:
1) Included assembly instruction guide is useless. It is impossible to understand anything there. I suggest to watch youtube video "Alesis Nitro Max Mesh Kit setup guide", it should help, but please allocate at least one hour for assembly.
2) The kit does not include audio and USB adapters/cables to connect your headphones and tablets (I will list all the additional cables you need below)
3) The module does not have standard midi ports, it only offers midi connectivity via USB. Note, only midi can be sent via USB, no audio. For audio connectivity you need to use bluetooth or 3.5mm audio cable.
4) Tom-2 has incorrect midi code, you will need to change it in the settings of the module from 45 (low tom) to 47 (low-mid tom)
5) User manual for the module is not included, you need to download it from the manufacturer web site
6) Audio sound is relatively weak, you may need to buy mini preamp... I am still testing a few options here. This is optional though.
7) The electric kit is not completely silent though, people around will hear you hitting toms with sticks. You can buy dumpers for your drumsticks, but dumpers can reduce the noise, not eliminate it.
Expansion Pack:
I highly suggest to purchase expansion pack from the Alesis, it is called Alesis Drums Nitro Max Expansion Pack.
Headphones:
You have probably purchased this kit to practice silently using headphones. If you want to teach your child, you may need two pairs of headphones that can be connected to each other, so you can hear your child playing. I picked OneOdio Over Ear Headphone, Wired version. Headphones come with two cords, black (3.5), and red (1/4). You only need the red cord. However, you will need to also buy 1/4 Female Stereo to 2 X 1/4 Male Mono Y Splitter since the module has two 1/4 female mono jacks for left and right channels.
For midi connectivity with iPad (mine has lighting connector and headphones jack) you may need:
1) USB A Male to USB B Male Cable
2) Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter
3) I like to use mobile application X Drum - 3D & AR, it has very good midi integration (make sure to change midi code for tom 2 as listed above)
For iPad audio connectivity:
1) Bluetooth can be used
2) Instead I am using 3.5mm stereo male to male Audio Cable to connect module with iPad through iPad headphones jack.
My summary and conclusion:
I like this kit, and to my opinion it worths its price.
1. Hi-hat pedal is iffy in its response. Sometimes it works exactly like you expect, other times it thinks the hats are closed even if you have your foot mostly off the pedal. It's really hit and miss.
2. Bass drum sounds extremely tinny through headphones, to the point where I wondered if it was even working, but the control module showed that it was triggering.
3. The crash cymbal choke function works, but the area where you have to grab to make it work is surprisingly small.
Still, none of these are deal breakers. If you're a beginner or just looking for an inexpensive kit for an apartment, this is a solid buy (but make sure to buy a throne, as the kit doesn't come with one).
Major con: the kit is very quite unless you have a major sound system. Luckily I do so I can smash the pads.
If you are new to the drumset this is the perfect set at a great price. If you are a seasoned drummer, the more expensive options may be worth the investment.
The kit was easy to set up and there were no issues wiring it. I did, however, have some issues with the design. I am a very tall person and I found that I could not get it high enough to be perfectly comfortable. Also, because I had the kit up so high, it was quite wobbly and I had to figure out how to brace it so I could play normally.
