Buen producto, lo estaba deseando desde hace mucho. La sensibilidad en los pads creo que podría ser mejor, pero la variedad y versatilidad de sus usos lo hace valer totalmente

You have to hit the pads pretty hard to get a sound. Even when changing the setting of all pads to be the most sensitive (sensitivity 32 in the setting). Hitting them moderately hard doesn't give any sound, it happens especially with the cymbals pads but also with the regular pads. I hope they will make them more sensitive with some future updates (I have the firmware version 1.3.0, The latest)

I purchased this to use as a more compact solution for adding percussion to my recordings. Although I have since decided a full drum kit is better suited for my setup, I can't say enough good things about this entry from Alesis.Build quality is fantastic. It feels very solid, and yet it's still light enough to be portable.It's easy to use. The large screen makes navigating the menus and creating presets a breeze.If you're looking at this in comparison to the Roland SPD-SX, I consider this a slight step-up at a lower cost. It's much more easy to navigate, and has some cool features and accoutrements that were not included on the much older SPD-SX. The only machine I believe outclasses this is Roland's newer SPD-SX Pro, which is both the highest end and highest priced multipad out there.TL;DR, if you're looking for a really solid, expandable drum multipad system at a good price, look no further.

Excelente pad para tocar en vivo en lugares pequeños, sin necesidad de usar la batería acústica, tiene 4 entradas extras para meter otros pads (uso pads yamaha) muy fácil de programar, lo malo es que no viene con soporte.

I use mine primarily as a small drum kit. Great sounding presets that are very fun to play. Easy to learn how to customize your sounds. The only thing that’s not great is that sometimes it doesn’t register hits. I think it needs time to load once you make custom changes or else some times it’s lags a bit. Other than that it’s really fun to play and I’m glad I bought it because now I can play drums quietly in my apartment:)

Ok, what can I say about the multipad that everyone else hasn’t already… nothing really. It’s incredible, it has a ton of sounds and endless possibilities with loading your own wave files. The responsiveness and playability is great!What I will talk about though is some unique issues I have run into with trying to color outside the box.I have run the midi out of a drum set into the midi in on the multipad, I set the settings as it says for having midi drum input, but I was unable to get the multipad to recognize it or respond to it. I was hoping to be able to play the drum kit through the midi in, in some kinda way. What I eventually ended up doing was removing the drum sets CPU and running the drum/triggers directly into the inputs in the back of the multipad. For some reason the pads/drums aren’t as responsive this way and the playability is kinda poor. Sometimes certain pads will miss a hit/not trigger. Instead of having the trigger inputs in the rear and also a very limited number of them, it would be nice to have the additional triggers work off of the midi input so that you can have a lot more of them maybe 10-15 additional triggers and just have them run from the electric kit. I understand this is more focused as a multipad and stand alone unit. But I feel it would be more functional if it could also work as a drum kit computer as well.

I wish I were fully qualified to tell you how well this compares to all the other drum pads out there, but this is my first. So let me just say I love it and have no desire to get something else. The sound is great, it's easy to use out of the box, plays well with a great feel, and looks and acts like it will last a very long time. It can be a bit difficult to set up for new sounds, but that may just be my limited experience using it. I'll have to watch more of the plethora of videos on Youtube. If in doubt, get this. Like me, I'm sure you won't regret it.

My decision was to either go with the Roland unit or the Alesis Strike. After weighing the advantages of each I decided to to go with the Strike. The primary reasons were the amount of memory in the unit and the lights. It has turned out to be a good decision for me. The pad works and sounds great, you can put a ton of samples in it and I love the lights.If there was anything to say in the negative about the Strike it is the lack of documentation for the unit. The Roland unit is a nice piece of kit and has been out there for for quite a few years. This means that there are a lot of videos and chats on the Net explaining how to set things up. Unfortunately the Strike doesn't have that advantage. So even the simple task of adding a pedal to the unit can be a tough thing to do. Just trying to figure what pedal will work with this unit will cause you to pull your hair, nevermind trying to configure it. So if you are new to pads and getting them configured to work with your system you may be in for a rough ride. Nonetheless, once you get things set up, the Alesis Strike is a fantastic unit.
