Hi. Everybody, I'm Joey and I'm new to alesis but been playing since I was about 13, the only kit I ever owned was a piece of junk chicken percussion and it didn't hold up well, got a alesis dm10 Monday and still getting used to playing again , just have to do the tweaking and tuning to get it right, but so far I'm liking it, the only complaint I have is that the ho hat dosent seen like it has the half open sensitivity, calabrated to open and close and it works pretty good that way, but still playing with and getting everything set the way I won't it, I hope I got a pretty good kit for the money
