Is the Nitro Max good for a complete beginner?

Yes. It comes as a full kit with kick pad, hi-hat and cymbals, plus built-in learning tools and a Drumeo trial. The mesh heads make the transition to acoustic drums easier.

How loud is it in an apartment?

The mesh pads are quiet, but the kick pad and stick noise still carry through floors. A rug and a little distance from shared walls help.

Can I play along with music from my phone?

Yes. Bluetooth audio lets you stream from Spotify, Apple Music and similar services through the module while you play.

Does it work with drum software and games?

The module has USB-MIDI, so it can trigger drum software and rhythm games on a computer.

The kit includes the sound module, mesh snare and toms, kick pad, hi-hat and cymbal pads, rack, cables and a pair of sticks.

About the Alesis Nitro Max Kit

The Alesis Nitro Max is an electronic drum kit with mesh drum heads that keep playing noise low. It has a 10-inch snare pad, three 8-inch tom pads and a kick drum pad with a large surface area. The cymbals are a 10-inch crash with choke, a 10-inch ride and a 10-inch hi-hat with a foot controller.

The module has over 440 drum sounds from BFD in 32 ready-to-play kits. You can adjust the kits using the backlit screen and create and store 16 of your own. Connecting to a PC or Mac over USB unlocks an extra sound pack through BFD Player. Bluetooth lets you play along with music from streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music. Built-in learning features help with timing and practice.

The pads, cymbals and module mount to a four-post rack. The kit folds smaller for storage. It includes a 3-month Drumeo access pass, with lessons from over 200 drummers and over 5000 songs to learn. It also includes 60 free Melodics lessons and 1 month of Melodics premium access.
