ALESIS DM6 USB Kit (official)

[TheCanineInstinct]

The sub-text in this video is not correct. I have this kit, and it is in no way natural feeling or durable. Within three weeks the kick pedal had broken, and the frame doesn't support the toms at all.

[KaslarProductions]

Can I load user samples? Can I change preset samples, for example move a snare from one preset to another that I might not like just the snare of?

[grapeuinthemouth]

Will I look like as much of a doosh as this guy if I get this kit?

[guillermo7205]

yes, you play on the drums as it is call? men

[guillermo7205]

pero como se llama la cancion amigo

[RandomLightbulbs]

Does this come with the ride cuz iv seen other videos and they didn't have it

[Jerenluis1]

I like it how he plays "Salsa" with the salsa kit... lol

[hendrixphish420]

Hello! Poo! :)

[ndup89]

Why do I have a feeling this one is better than DM10?

[BigCountryJASon]

The pads and cymbals that come with the kit aren't too bad but the dm6 brain SUCKS! I switched to the DM5 after about 2 months of dicking around with that...plus their "cable snake" is a JOKE!

[TheMinims]

Will using a Line 6 Spider guitar amp be OK for this drum kit? If so, what lead will I need to connect the two??

[PS3GamesProductions]

Im getting this for christmas so i cant wait for christmas

[TheNinjaGrapefruit]

Better*

[TheNinjaGrapefruit]

Alesis kits are Okay for beginners, but you'll soon want to get a new kit. The response is bad, and all round quality is poor.

I recommend Yamaha or Roland kits, much bigger quality and value for money.

[CPLdoomguy]

What headphones are those?

[tiburceart]

Does anybody can tell me the default MIDI Note of all DM6 Pad ??? cause I would like to use DM6 to trigger MIDI Notes with Native Instruments Kontakt. Thanks a lot.

[Letheification]

3 IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY ALESIS

1. THEY DO NOT OFFER SUPPORT. THEY DO NOT ANSWER EMAILS OR HAVE TOLL FREE PHONE NUMBER

2. DO *NOT* BUY THE HEADPHONES, YOU'LL NEED AN AMP ANYWAY. GET AN AMP (NOT THEIR OVERPRICED ONE) AND ANY 20$ HEADPHONES WILL WORK.

3. THE KICK BARELY SUPPORTS DOUBLE PEDALS, AND YOU'LL NEED AN AMP TO HAVE A DECENT AUDIO LEVEL.

Not a single review ever mentioned that. I bought a DM6 and now I'm screwed with no support and dead parts. Way to go Alesis.

[LeslieRobinson97]

ive bought the alesis dm6 will i have to use a usb?

[kosha11]

hi, is there any way of adding additional toms or even cymbals to this kit? or is this as big as it can get?

[MrSonnyworld]

Awesome! I'm picking up a DM6 in another month or so, can't wait!!

[bassmajor]

For the price I guess it's ok but that "Jazz Kit" is just pathetic :D

[Jon8110]

Great drum Kit,this got a good price in my city!

[ganjaking187]

this kit is really a good value im impressed.

[antimarxism]

Sounds like shit.

Can't choke the cymbals.

[rafaelintervalo1]

Please can someone tell me if the battery is good, if she has a cool sound.

I'm in doubt between the DD1 and DDRUM DM6 Alesis USB. If someone could give a hint about which is better of the two drummers.

Thanks thanks!

[BulletzSnipers]

question: can i put a double bass pedal on it?

[derDennO]

sounds like shit, like every cheap kit... sry ... but roland are the best!

[uragonuk]

@derDennO it doesnt sound like shit ur deaf ...sorry =(

[B2LDrummer]

Does it work with the rock band adapter??/

[drummerblade]

Hey is there a techno kit?

[najaruda]

La acabo de comprar pero no logro que suene como la del video, por que? =(

[luisblade]

ummm.... i actually want to start playing drums and was wondering if this would be ok for me to start with, i dont want to get and acoustic because my parents and my neighbors would probably complain about the noise, the reason i live with parents is because im 17. in case any1 was planning to say something like "move out of your parents house, you bum"

[cooldudenirvana123]

hey do you have to plug it in your pc to drum ?? @alesiseu

[JackBck]

Amazing drum kit. If you're looking to buy one and live in the U.K please look at my ebay listing.

[Raindarsus]

if you place a dual zone ride cymbal from the dm10 but on the dm 6 will it work as dual zone?

[MrIzzPizz]

Hi!

I wonder if you need to put the USB into a computer for example to make the kit work or will it work without computer?

Sorry for bad English, I am from Sweden :)

Best Regards

[teliakos]

ust a quick question,can i put the full li pedal of alesis dm67 or alesis dm10 to alesis dm 6 answer m plzzz

[petara45]

Jesus Christ, is it so difficult to hire a halfway competent drummer for demo purposes? The Salsa "drumming" is really hard to top. The price must be extraordinarily low to convince somebody to buy this drums. Based on this demo video I'd run away in a second. Oh, and the jazz snare?! I'm speechless.

[Echo2image]

I was wondering if it was possible to use the DM6 kit with external samples, as I have an extensive sample library on my computer. If it can, an explanation of how to set it up to do so would be appreciated. Thanks.

[MrBattles1]

Can i play this with rock band 3 with just a rock band midi adapter? or do i have to buy more stuff.

[JRConn96]

I'm buying this soon, and want to know if you can fit a double pedal onto the kick pad. Particularly the Tama Iron Cobra Jr.. or the original Tama Iron Coba. Thanks!

Any responses would help.

[PenGuyLV]

Hi!

Can i play this kit with my double bass pedal?

Looking forward to your reply!

Thanks.

Dan.

[mcintoshamps]

@PenGuyLV of couse you can, there is a tregger that you can put any kind of pedal you want, it's like the roland KD8, very nice trigger, good rebound, i hope i answered your question

[KillEmAllOver]

@PenGuyLV yes you can

[ScottyBwoy84]

Are the preset kits inter-programmable, i.e. would it be possible to have a set-up incorporating the jazz snare but with rock toms?

[wiseguymarc]

are you able to use a double base pedal on this drum set? If so, is there a special kind i need or will any pedal work?

[alesiseu]

Dear Customer.

Thank you for your enquiry at Alesis Studiosound.

Only the Snare from the DM6 is a dual zone pad. All other pads and cymbals are single zone. The kit has following Pads included:

DMPad Kick Pad with stand, DMPedal single kick pedal, DMHat Pedal hi-hat pedal, DMPad 8" Dual-Zone Pad, DMPad 8" Single-Zone Pads, DMPad 12" Cymbals

You can have a look on the DM10 set for multizone solutions.

Please feel free to contact us.

[DRCRUE1313]

@alesiseu could i put a double bass pedal on it?

[Letheification]

@DRCRUE1313 Only if you buy an amp and pass your headphones through it. The level on the unit is far too low, and the kick has a "sensitivity" trigger. So when you hit dead center, you get the full effect of the kick. With doublekicks, they're both slightly off center, thus hitting them full blast produces the medium sound, not the full one. So you need to play softer and amp up the volume.

[MishoRulezz]

I have the money for this set, and i will buy it, so please tell me, Some thing for it. If i hit the cymballs in different places, like in the middle, will it sound differently ? And the hi hat too? Can i make this ound with the stick on the side of the drum ? Can I make my own set, choesing sounds from thoes 108's. Thanks in advance :)

[Olie23231]

@MishoRulezz I think that comes in along with being velocity sensitive. It's very doubtful you'll get the exact same difference when hitting different parts of the skins and cymbals to the reactions of a real kit but I'd imagine there'd be a noticeable difference on this :)

[BowlinLefty]

Is the kick pad large enough for a double bass pedal?

[EngeniusBeatz]

would it be possible to use this at a church without a computer?

[alesiseu]

Hi,

we use the Alesis Trans Active Drummer with iPod docking station. The melody comes from the iPod.

We record the master signal via Alesis IO2 in Ableton Live.

Please feel free to contact us for further questions (kundenservice@alesis.com).

Kind regards,

[lionsfan23]

how do you record this to a computer and make it sound like this? mine is all choppy

[ridiska]

Want to know is it possible to put doublebass pedal? Is it work on this thing?

[MrJellyman300]

Okay, I've had the Alesis DM6 for about a year now, and for the past three months I've been starting to experience some problems with the drum set. The problems I've been experiencing I think has to do with the snare. When I hit the hi-hat, the crash, and the high tom with just a little bit of effort, then I can here a snare rim shot mixed in with the sound of the two cymbols and the tom. When I I hit it harder, then I can hear a full snare shot that completely overshadows the hi-hat. Help!!!

[Audiotopic]

Dear Customer.

Please feel free to contact us for further questions (kundenservice@alesis.com).

What kind of USB problem do you have? Usually you need to wire only the drummodul to your pc. Then you have monitor your input for note on off messages.

[nzephier]

just a quick question, because i wanted to buy this drum set, do the crash and ride cymbal pads come with the set, or would i hafta buy them separate? i know it comes with the hi hat and three toms, but im worried bout those other two cymbals XD

[alesiseu]

@nzephier

The Express Kit has only one cymbal and one hihat. The DM6 USB Kit is the one with two cymbals and one hihat that you need.

Regards

[nzephier]

@alesiseu k thnx a bunch dude, n then it comes with the three toms yes? Better safe than sorry, wanna be sure the DM6 has everything i need lol

[IxdokuxI]

COWBELL PWN!

[IxdokuxI]

Doesn't the snare have the dual thing so you can play rim shots?

[ebz1711]

What is the song at the beginning??

[tamaman1987]

Not feeling the kit..

[IxdokuxI]

@tamaman1987 then feel it!

[supatones]

it does look kinda flimsy...I played the Yamaha DTXplorer for a couple hours and it feels solid as hell

[IxdokuxI]

@supatones even if it is you could add some weights or something on it

[KillerDrums777]

Can the Alesis dm6 Usb kit take hard hitting please reply.

[sk8r4lifeyo]

@KillerDrums777 It's all- around a shitty set. It's good for a learner but only for about a few months. I started around christmas, and it's messing up. Ever since I got it, the snare's rim function is too sensitive, and and will sound when you just wanna play the snare (or normally any part of the set, any vibration sets it off) and whenever I hit the hi hat, it sounds twice, and sometimes doesn't sound at all when I hit it. And the crash is falling apart on me. I don't recommend it.

[IxdokuxI]

@sk8r4lifeyo either the shipping ruined it or you rock pretty fuckin hard :P

[sk8r4lifeyo]

@IxdokuxI Like a boss XD

[IxdokuxI]

@KillerDrums777 yes duh thats what they're made for :P

[Drew927]
