Hello Alesis gear heads. I've just entered the realm of e-drums. I've been an acoustic kit player for 40+ years. We recently moved to a new house that has absolutely no sound deadening. If I breathe on my DW's too hard, my wife asks why I'm playing so loud (and that's being polite!). I had the pleasure of borrowing a friend's Roland TD-20 kit for a month and was very surprised how they sounded. I haven't played and electronic kit in 10 years. I definitely did not want to spend the big bucks on a TD-20 or 30, so after much research, I ended up with a DM10X Mesh Kit. I'll be using it for practice and home recording and so far I'm very impressed with it's capabilities. I also purchased the ProX hi hats, but haven't added them yet. Hopefully, the firmware download that's required will go smooth. I see many forum members have startup issues, but maybe it's just a learning curve. I'm sure I'll be posting a lot more once I get familiarized with all the settings. Glad to be on board!!
