USB Pro Drum Kit: Hi welcome back Heath product specialist for Alesis, let’s take a look at our electronic percussion line. Behind me we have Dan radon product specialist for Alesis. He is demoing behind me for Alesis usb pro kit. What you have with the usb pro kit, you got all your drum triggers, and actual real feel cymbals. This is a pretty big deal these triggers that you see actually the head and the rim are two separate triggers on the snare and all three toms, with your kit trigger as well. The big deal with the cymbals that you are looking at these is actually real cymbals with a damping layer underneath. These are complete electronic cymbals. I am going to look at Dan right now and Dan is actually going to show me the difference between these cymbals and every other cymbals. Hey Dan what happens when you hit this and you want to choke that cymbal? (ching) Two layers right there, so we have the ability to strike the cymbal and we have the ability to choke the cymbal. How about what you get a three zone out of a right cymbal (ching ching ching ching Ching) that’s two different levels as it goes up, you actually going to have a different sound. Like an actual cymbal after you get up to the bell. Now all of these triggers right now are going right through a trigger io in the drum rim this allows you to send midi over usb. This particular kit also comes with vsd software to allow you to trigger all of these drums directly into your software. Sound deals for the home setup or ideal for a home studio recording. This is the Alesis usb pro kit with search cymbals.
