At the Alesis booth at Winter NAMM 2017 we found Timothy Root aka Texas Tim, a well-known and veteran e-drum clinician who has worked for Simmons Drums, Roland and is now Global Product Manager Drums at Alesis. Last year, Alesis showed a prototype of the Strike Pro Kit at the show and this year they showed the full working drum set ready for sale. In these two videos Texas Tim demos the eleven piece pro version of the Strike. There is also an eight piece available.
The pricing for the Strike kits are very reasonable. The Pro will cost around $2,299.00. For that you have all the features below, including 100 drum kits and 1000 instruments in the module. Best part is that you can use your own samples in the module as well. Have a look at the demos here, all the specs are below the videos.
