Alesis New Flagship will be announced, the most expensive kit ever made from Alesis.

The Rumour has been floating around for awhile.
The question I would have is about John Emrich.
John Emrich (Fxpansion/BFD/NFUZD) came on board at Alesis as the Sound Director and during a period where the STRIKE Products were under heavy Criticism /Failures.Emrich was involved/responsible for the last update/kits the STRIKE PRO SE..and during that time period InMusic aquired Fxpansion/BFD in 2020.
Emrich was Promoted to Associate Project Manager, and finally Senior Director of Product Development. 
Emrich gave notice and left in April 2023.."Time to Move On".

Why would the Senior Director of Product Development with decades of experience in Drum sample and Drum module development.. resign before a Flagship release ?
Flagship products don't happen overnight and those involved typically hang around long enough to be associated with it to add to their resume/portfolio etc..

I wouldn't worry too much about John Emrich leaving Alesis. The turn over at Alesis has always been rather high since I started this forum. There has been many people to come and go. At or near the position of Emrich. Heck, the guy the headed up the original Alesis DM10 & Trigger I/O project is now running Simmons over at Guitar Center. He left within a year of the DM10 coming out. Remember Texas Tim Root? He had a lot to do with the release of the Strike. He was gone after a year or two of the release of the Strike. It's just the way things work at Alesis.

I wouldn't connect someone leaving Alesis as a necessary a sign of bad things to come. Don't forget Emrich was also involved with NFUZD electronic drums. Not exactly a smash hit. Chances are Emrich got a better offer to work somewhere else and went for it. That's all.

With a definitive statement like that, you need proof. Do you have any links/pics you could share to prove your statement?

Now I am curious, because I also saw in vdrums you making such statements.

If you can PM me more details, that would be cool. Also, for whatever reason, I am unable to reply to your BDF Player message, so I am also eagerly waiting for further updates on that end as well!

I hope Alesis will made a drumkit with a better reliability.
