Alesis Drums Command Mesh SE Kit - Electric Drum Set with Quiet Dual Zone Mesh Pads, USB MIDI Connectivity and 600+ Electronic & Acoustic Drum Sounds

This is an amazing set of drums! It makes me want to learn to play and soooo very quiet. Amazing price for what you get. Excited to add on a few additional pieces onto it

Bought a cheaper brand at first and returned them. I bought these and I am very impressed. They were easy to put together and they sound great. It has a utility where you can adjust all the sounds on the drums. It also has about 40 preset sounds. Just those alone you have multiple varieties of symbols and drum sounds. The triggers also work well on the set. I noticed on the bass drum you have to adjust the kick so it hits it on the lower middle. The bass drum has a exceptionally sounds.

The main issue I have with this is that BFD is not released still, and I cannot get the beta to work properly with the high hat. Half closed on the pedal gives no sound, and closed hits are waaaay quieter than every other hit. I was using ezdrummer3 for a trial which worked perfectly without any configuring so its all the software I guess. Hopefully BFD receives updates, but it looks like it has been extremely slow in that regard. This is the biggest issue because all these softwares are expensive, so the kit coming with BFD would be amazing if it worked right now. I'm sure it will be fixed eventually, I just dont know how long of a wait until it is.Other than that problem, everything has been great with the kit itself. It is very solid while being hit, and the setup was very easy and allows for a lot of adjustments to make it how you like it. I dont use the sounds on the kit, They are ok and would be fine for most beginners but I prefer the sounds of something like BFD or ezdrummer for sure.Update: The software issues have now been fixed with the latest updates. Everything works perfectly by just choosing the correct drum kit preset in BFD player.

We bought this for our son's Christmas gift. He's 16 years old and has played in the school band since 6th grade. He uses his snare drum at home to practice and it is extremely loud. So when wanting to get him a full drum set we opted for the electric version. This enables him to wear his headphones and play as loudly as he likes, while mom and dad don't hear anything but his foot tapping. He was able to assemble it himself and figure out all the wiring and how to use it. He has since joined the praise team at church and is able to practice at home even more. Very pleased with this purchase.

I have been playing on an older Roland rubber kit for years and knew it was time to make a change. This Command mesh SE is really nice, easy to set up, sounds and feels Great. I bought the additional Tom and crash cymbal, both came with just the right cord, plugged them in and made my kit complete. I am just a beginner/moving toward intermediate drummer who drums for fun and therapy. You really can't go wrong with this kit for the quality and price.This is my very first review I have ever posted for a product purchased through Amazon......rest assured, if anything changes with my kit I will be back to share.

Loving it. True beginner here. Easyish setup.Main problem would be the free lessons they give you. I was only able to do those 5 minutes a day... Which is just ridiculous. As it was advertised to me I'd expect to use the lessons to whatever extent.That being said you can (and I did) subscribe for $120ish after discount and I suggest everyone consider that. Worth every penny. Made a lot of progress in a short time. Also they give two free weeks with the premium package mentioned earlier.Still it should be reiterated that the free lessons shouldn't have a time limit for those that dont want to buy the full package.Drums seem awesome to me but I don't have a lot of experience with drums (electric or otherwise with the exception of the Rock Band drums 😄).The large foot drum tower has been especially enjoyable. Once I figured out how to set it up and secure it I was really having fun.Would have prefered to have dual zone cymbals but overall no regerts.

The kick pad on the November 2022 “new model” does NOT respond to beater strikes as expected, when the beater is centered on the kick pad. After removing the kick pad’s mesh head, it looks like the central beater absorption foam may be too thick/tall so the piezoelectric transducer never registers the mesh head beater strike when you it is centered on the kick pad. If the kick beater strikes the piezo foam column (not the central foam) directly it does register the kick pad trigger as expected — but this will likely lead to a broken piezo much sooner than if the kick’s center strike pad/foam worked as anticipated.Can I please get a replacement kick pad?

Love the response of the mesh heads, great sound, responds well to the pressure of playing. I wish the volume went a tiny bit higher, but that's probably for the best to keep what's left of my hearing in-tact. Works great connecting to your smart phone/tablet running Moises to practice along with. Really great unit.
