The Alesis Strata Prime is a state of the art electronic drum kit with a worldclass sound and professional feel. Every detail has been conceived without compromise to deliver a responsive, natural and realistic experience for the player. All-mesh drumheads feature adjustable tension. The 360-degree cymbals move freely and respond like real acoustic cymbals, and the hi-hat is precisely accurate and plays naturally with any hi-hat stand or hi-hat technique. Together, they combine to create the kind of expressive feeling that you would expect from a meticulously engineered instrument. Under the hood, there is a truly state-of the-art sound engine that places a vast and detailed library of beautifully recorded drum kits at your fingertips.
Next Level Features Include
State of the Art Prime Module
The Prime Drum Module is without doubt the most technologically advanced drum module ever made.
Touch Screen
The sound experience is driven by the legendary BFD drum engine and controlled by a 10.1” touch screen that delivers intuitive navigation, editing, mixing of kits - and recording studio level sound, previously only available on high-powered desktop computers.
Multi-core processor
Under the hood, there is a powerful multi-core processor that loads huge multi-sampled kits in seconds, and enables instant creative freedom to customize your kits, articulations, microphones, and effects. The brand-new trigger engine is customizable, although Strata Prime is superbly playable straight out of the box, there are several tools to adjust the kit to your specific preference, including to instantly calibrate cross talk.
Adjust at will
The touch screen puts every parameter right at your fingertips, so you can call up and adjust every component of the kit, sounds, effects, and utilities effortlessly. There are also six rotary encoders for quick scrolling and detailed control, as well as a main push encoder, transport controls, and dedicated volume knobs for main, phones, and aux outputs.
Hardware Features Include
Drums
Strata Prime comprises six drums with all-mesh heads. Starting with a dual-zone 14” snare drum, with independent sounds triggered on the head, rim click, and rim shot, followed by 8” / 10” / 12” / 14” toms and of course a 20”kick drum which provides a comfortable playing surface while being suitable for all varieties of single and double kick drum pedals. PLEASE NOTE: Kick pedal sold separately. The tension can be adjusted on all six mesh heads so you can set the exact level of rebound and expressiveness to your preference - and unnatural ‘hotspots’ on the heads are eliminated by Alesis’ unique patented anti-hotspot sensor design*.
40 playable zones
Strata Prime has 40 playable zones and uniquely, each trigger zone across the kit can have multiple sounds assigned to it: A main sound, and then up to three additional "Stacks" per zone. You can layer multiple sounds onto another or create a mashup of completely different combinations of sounds – for example add a woodblock and a cowbell to the rim of your snare.
Cymbals
The Strata Prime’s ARC cymbals are supremely sensitive with a beautifully lathed surface. All three cymbals, the 18” ride, and two 16”crashes, are triple-zone; with different sounds triggered on the bell, bow, and edge of each cymbal. They are all 360-degree responsive, so not only can you play anywhere throughout the cymbal, but they mount on standard acoustic arm mounts, allowing them to respond and swing naturally, without restrictions. The crash and ride cymbals and hi-hats have dual-edge sensors* and profiles that allow incredible expressiveness without having to adjust your technique.
Precision Hi-hat
The 14” hi-hat is the world’s first Active Magnetic, stand mounted controller. PLEASE NOTE: Hi-hat stand sold separately. Like the cymbals, it’s a triple-zoned 360-degree playing surface which is extremely sensitive. Magnetic position sensing ensures that pedal movements are translated with extraordinarily high resolution; meaning the contactless controller is unmatched in its accuracy. The unit can be used with a wide variety of hi-hat stands and playing techniques. Its active technology is powered directly from the Prime Drum Module; no extra power adapter required.
Software Featues Include
Immaculately sampled sounds
The multi-core processor runs the legendary BFD sound engine. It is an enormous library of drum kits immaculately sampled by top engineers in some of the world’s finest drum recording spaces.
