So far, it’s been a great kit to learn on. Tons of modules and settings.

I bought the Strata Core to replace an older Alesis kit (rubber pads, had it for 11 years), and so far it's been a revelation. It's been only a couple of weeks, and I haven't played around with everything the kit has to offer, but I love the tunable mesh heads--the dynamics are really nice, and they feel much more like real drum heads than the old rubber pads did.The cymbals are also a huge upgrade--both in feel and sound--and the hi-hat is really responsive, with more varied playing surfaces. I can get a true "chick-tick" out of it. With some kit modules I find the ride cymbal a little washy, but apparently you can mix and match with other kits to dial in the sound and tone you want. I need to play around more with this.Initial setup requires some patience and involves some trial and error, but I appreciate the flexibility of the rack and the way the individual drums can be adjusted for height and positioning. The module has 75 kits to choose from, and you can plug in a phone or other device to help you play along with songs. You can also output sound to headphones or an amp.Overall I'm really happy with the kit. It's reinvigorated my playing and my practice routines. It's not cheap, but then again it's a lot less expensive than the Strata Prime, and I feel like a beginner to intermediate drummer (like me) will get really good value out of the Strata Core without feeling like they're missing out on anything.Note that it doesn't come with a kick pedal, a hi-hat stand, or a throne, so you'll have to buy those separately if you don't already have them.

This the best electric drum kit I have ever owned, and I started out with a Roland TD12! The quality of the set is primo and there are many assembly options to get the pieces positioned just right. The brain has a very user-friendly touch screen format. It takes a while to sort out how the various functions work, like adding different percussion rim shots to all the toms (sound amazing when completed!), but it was well worth the time and effort. I can change parameters on the fly by highlighting the screen and turning the knobs at the bottom of the touch screen. This kit has the best sounding 14" snare of any electric kit I have played. I play many different genres, from rock to jazz to Broadway, and I can always get the sound I need. Highly recommended!

Great for quiet practices - some issues with the triggers but, nothing that wont be figured out in time - worth it

Response, and the feel for this kit is amazing. I looked at Roland for years, but pulled the trigger on this one and don’t regret it.Some review complaining at the lack of hi hat stand and kick pedal are silly. It’s common not to have these out of the box, and allows you to get the hardware you like the most. And it’s very clear in the description. Bad reviews for lack of reading details is pretty lame, even for a drummer.This kit feels perfect, super responsive, and a perfect “brain”. Easy to use and configure.

In short. The Alesis strata core kit is worth the price and you will be happy with your purchase. Ask yourself before you buy HH stand and drumkick.1. Double drumkick? Yes- HH stand 2 LEGS!2. Single drumkick? Yes- HH stand 2-3 legsNow you know why you don't get it in the set HH stand and drumkick

What can I say, this kit is just downright amazing! I’ve had it for a few months now and play it most days. I have added an additional Splash cymbal and Mapex double kit, everything works perfectly. The kit selection is great and everything can be modified. I can connect my phone / ipad via bluetooth. I also use an iRig which allows me to easily record sessions using my phone. Best kit out there for this value!

Worked great, probably best value for the money until the brain module started having freezing and crashing issues, customer support let me ship off unit but it has been over a month without hearing back about my replacement/repair and they won’t reply back to emails. I now have a completely unplayable $3500 piece of plastic and metal. Maybe I should’ve went Roland…

I have been playing acoustic drums for 45 years. I held off on buying electric drums for all of these years simply because I never was comfortable playing on them. I was always disappointed in the way they felt and sounded, so I just stayed away from them and stuck to playing acoustic drums.... Until now! I must admit after watching several videos of reviews from many other drummers I decided to look into the Alesis strata prime. I now am the proud owner of my first e-kit and I am not the least disappointed. I took my time calibrating each drum and made sure the mesh heads were tuned before I started playing. I made the right decision buying the Strata Prime and I'm impressed with the sound and feel of the kit.
