It’s been a busy 12 months for Alesis when it comes to electronic drum sets, starting with the Nitro Max, which raised the bar for entry-level kits thanks to its inclusion of mesh heads and a BFD-derived sound set. Next came the flagship Strata Prime, which ports the multi-sampled BFD 3 library into a touchscreen-equipped drum module for the first time. Now, Alesis is following up with the Nitro Pro - which expands on the features of the Nitro Max, offering what Alesis says "caters to both new and experienced players, providing unmatched flexibility and features at an accessible price point."
Running alongside as the bigger sibling to the Nitro Max, the Nitro Pro is once again an eight-piece, mesh-headed electronic drum set. For the Nitro Pro, however, Alesis has made the three included 8-inch tom pads dual-zone, and scaled up the snare drum offering with a 10-inch, extra-deep pad for more realistic placement.
