What reviewers say

Owners treat the Nitro Pro as a strong first or second kit, praising the mesh feel, the bigger snare and the kit variety. Common complaints center on the stock pedals, hi-hat response and kick tower stability.

What people mention

Snare sizePraisedThe 10-inch snare is noted as a step up from smaller pads on rival kits.
PedalsCriticisedOwners call the included pedals basic and often replace them.
Hi-hatMixedThe hi-hat pad works but does not feel like a stand-mounted hi-hat.
Kick towerMixedIt handles double-kick but can shift on hard hits.

About the Alesis Nitro Pro 8-Piece Electronic Drum Set with Dual Zone Mesh Drum Pads

The Alesis Nitro Pro is an electronic drum set with five drum pieces and three cymbal pads. It has a 10-inch dual-zone snare pad, three 8-inch dual-zone tom pads and an 8-inch kick tower. All the drum pads have tunable mesh heads, which give a response closer to an acoustic kit than rubber heads do.

The Nitro Pro Module is built on BFD sound technology. It has 36 factory kits, 16 user kit slots and over 500 samples. The free BFD Player virtual instrument adds more sounds. Onboard lessons, a metronome, a sequencer and 60 practice songs are included. You can play along to your own music over Bluetooth, and a phone holder is built in.

A 4-post, powder-coated steel rack holds the kit, with adjustable and tiltable mounts. The snare and toms trigger both the head and the rim. All three 10-inch cymbal pads can be choked for cutoffs and mid-measure stops. The kick tower accommodates a double-kick pedal.
