Alesis Nitro Max Electronic Drum Kit vs Alesis Nitro Mesh Electronic Drum Kit
The Nitro Max is the better buy for most shoppers. It has a larger 10-inch dual-zone snare, newer BFD-based module with 32 kits and 440+ sounds, Bluetooth audio streaming and USB/MIDI, while the Nitro Mesh kit uses the older Nitro module with 40 kits and 385 sounds and an 8-inch snare. Both share the same 8-inch single-zone toms, 10-inch cymbals and four-post aluminum rack, and owners of both praise the mesh feel and quiet response. Choose the Nitro Mesh only if you want the proven older module and a complete eight-piece kit with pedals included.
