Alesis DM6 USB Express Electronic Drum Set
The DM6 USB Express Kit will have you up and playing a full drum kit in no time. Many of the reknowned drummers of today are playing 4-piece sets (bass drum, snare drum and two toms) and the ALESIS DM6 USB Express Kit is a four-piece set with natural-feeling drum and cymbal pads with hi-hat pedal and a rock-solid rack to keep everything in its place.
The DM6 USB Express Kit drum and cymbal pads are designed to stay quiet during your heaviest playing, so you will not disturb your family or neighbors as you work out. The DM6 drum module gives you 108 great-sounding, modern drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds to create up to 15 total drum kits that speak for you. Expand your sonic palette by plugging into your Mac or PC with a single USB cable!
UNMISTAKABLE ALESIS FEEL!
Like all ALESIS drum sets, the DM6 USB Express Kit features realistic, natural-feeling playing surfaces. To reduce vibration, ALESIS selected natural rubber drum and cymbal surfaces for the DM6 Express Kit pads. This four-piece kit gets you started on a dual-zone snare pad for two-sound compatibility. You can dial in a snare drum sound in the center and a rim click, rimshot, or something totally different like a cowbell on the rim. The DM6 USB Express Kit also comes with two tom pads, an upright kick drum pad, hi-hat and crash/ride cymbal pads. It even comes with an Alesis bass drum pedal and the kick pad is compatible with any single or double bass drum pedal.
OUTSTANDING SOUND!
The Alesis DM6 module powers two set variations. It contains 108 sounds in 10 preset kits with 5 user kit locations. There are 40 preset patterns and one song location to save your performance. The DM6 USB Express set [ADM6EXPRE] is a small set with 4 drums and 2 cymbals (hi-hat and crash/ride) which is enough for some players but you can add another drum pad and another cymbal pad.
The DM6 module features an internal collection of top-notch drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds that will blow you away! You can edit any one of the 10 preset kits and save your custom sounds within 5 custom slots. In addition to the sounds in the DM6 module, there is a USB output that sends the notes you play out as MIDI signals. This allows you to use the DM6 as a trigger-to-MIDI interface with drum-module software such as BFD, Toontrack, or Reason for a limitless collection of sounds.
The DM6 drum module has headphone and amplifier outputs so you can play quietly in phones or connect to an amp, a sound system or a recording mixer. Plug in an iPod or CD player to DM6 stereo input jack and perform along with your favorite music.
UPGRADING IS EASY
Nobody likes being left without a way to upgrade. Fortunately, everything you need to expand your DM6 USB Express Kit is built right in. If your drumming needs grow and you want to add to your kit, Alesis made it easy. You can order a DM6 Cable Snake with additional inputs on it, a DMPad 8" Single-Zone Pad and/or DMPad 12" Cymbal. When your new gear arrives, simply connect the new cable snake to your DM6 module and the other end to the new cymbal or drum pad and you're ready to rock.
PRACTICE TOOLS
The DM6 module has a metronome, an essential tool for keeping steady time whether you are practicing alone or with a band. The DM6 module also has a built-in sequencer with 40 preset music tracks.
RUGGED HARDWARE
A drumset is only as strong as its weakest link. The DM6 USB Express Kit mounts on a heavy-duty aluminum rack. The standard 1 1/2" tubing enables you to add on with Alesis and other brands' clamps and mounts. The DM6 USB Express Kit also comes with a full set of mounting hardware and cables, as well as rugged kick drum and hi-hat pedals.
