I went and did it. I bought a DM10 Pro Kit!
« on: November 13, 2009, 09:43:56 PM »
;D ;D I just got done ordering an Alesis DM10 Pro Kit ;D ;D
I have been involved with electronic drumming in some capacity for about 20 years now and I have never bought an off the shelf eDrum kit before. I have never had the money to do so. I started saving for this kit when I first heard it announced (and sold a lot of stuff on eBay!) just to afford it. I have never spent that much on a piece of music equipment before.

I will do my best to give an over all review of the kit once I get it up and running.

Wow Hellfire!

Now I expect audio, pictures and especially a video of you trying it out!  8)
I think everyone want to see a video of a real life user playing the DM10. I want to see you try it's sensitivity, rolls and ghost notes etc.
Props to you for being the first one here on the forum to buy DM10!

When I get it, I'll let you guys know. I was told by Sweetwater that it should be here by the middle of the week. I will admit I'm a little nervous about this purchase. To me $1500.00 is a lot of money. I have never spent that much on any one edrum item before. Because of that, I'm afraid that I might be overly critical about this kit. We'll see, I guess.

cant wait to see your review, maybe even a sound clip/video. I have been waiting for this for ages now, as to me its a straight choice between the Alesis and the Roland TD9

That's ok as long as you post a video of you playing it  ;D
(Something tells me you won't do that, but I'm holding my thumbs for it to happen)

I did get the DM10 Pro Kit and I'm currently writing up a complete review of the kit. I'm doing it in two parts. The first part should be up at my website (HellfireDrums.com) by the end of today.

I can tell you that the variable hi-hat works really well. I was quite shocked at how well it does cymbal swells. Some cymbal sounds swell better than others. Here's is a couple pics of my kit:
