World-Class Sound, Professional Feel

Experience outstanding playability and exceptional sound quality with the Strata Core from Alesis, an 8-piece electronic drum kit that conserves much-needed space without sacrificing a natural playing experience. With a powerful drum module sporting a vast library of pro-recorded drum kits, Strata Core punches well above its weight.

Realistic Drum Pads with Outstanding Playability

A dual-zone snare drum with independent sounds triggered on the head, rim click, and rim shot, along with two 8 and toms and one 10″ tom. An 8 kick drum provides an ample playing surface, suitable for all varieties of single and double kick-drum pedals.

The tension can be adjusted on all mesh heads, letting you set the exact level of rebound and expressiveness to your preference. Unnatural and unwanted hotspots on the heads are eliminated with a unique patented anti-hotspot sensor design.

Note: The Strata Core kit does not include a kick pedal.

Drum hardware includes a 12″ dual-zone snare that supports rim shots and rim clicks, two 8″ toms, a 10″ floor tom, and an 8″ kick drum tower that supports single or double kick pedals (kick pedal sold separately). All drum pads feature realistic mesh heads with patented anti-hotspot sensors. The kit comes with two 12″ crash cymbals, one 14″ ride, and one active magnetic 12″ hi-hat (hi-hat stand sold separately). All ARC cymbals sport 360 sensors and triple-zone playability. Along with the drum pads and cymbals, the Strata Core includes a durable steel 4-post rack, a hi-hat clutch, a hi-hat controller, a snare stand, a module mount, a trigger cable snake, screws, a cymbal boom arm, a drum key, and a power adapter.

ARC Cymbals

Strata Cores ARC cymbals are exceptionally sensitive with a beautifully lathed surface. All three cymbalsthe 14 ride and two 12 crashesare triple-zone designs with different sounds triggered on the bell, bow, and edge of each cymbal.

Theyre all 360 responsive, so that you can play anywhere throughout the cymbal and mount on standard acoustic arm mounts, which allows them to respond and swing naturally without restrictions. All cymbals have dual-edge sensors and profiles that allow incredible expressiveness without having to adjust your technique.
