Alesis Strata Core Electronic Drum Set Timekeepers across are excited for Alesis to welcome the small-footprint and universally manageable Alesis Strata Core Electronic Drum Set to its electronic drum ranks. A little sibling to the Alesis Strata Prime model, the Strata Core impressively retains plenty of pro-grade appeal thanks to numerous flagship engineering elements, such as its snare and tom shell physicality, mesh-headed playing realism, and a selection of full 360-degree, triple-zoned ARC cymbal pads. But this space-conscious kit prioritizes floor space, swapping in a sturdy 8-inch Strata kick tower for equal impact with greater room to spare. The Strata Core also sports its very own Core drum module, equipping a 7-inch touchscreen and a percussion onslaught packed with 75 preset kits, over 370 pieces, over 800 articulations, and over 144,000 individual samples — all powered by its BFD sound engine. You can mix, match, tune, and dampen to your heart’s content with an unlimited supply of user kits while mastering your chops with backing tracks, a metronome, Bluetooth, and more. Rebound that’s as real as it gets The Strata Core provides players with shallow physical shells for its 12-inch snare drum, two 8-inch toms, and 10-inch tom. Dual independent zones for the snare drum allow rim shots, rim clicks, and extraordinarily expressive head response. In fact, the deluxe and tunable mesh heads outfitted across the entire Strata Core shell configuration promise professional-grade playability and ridiculously lifelike response. Plus, its 8-inch kick tower offers enough room to welcome your double-kick pedal. This same praise applies to the Strata Core’s assortment of top-tier ARC cymbal pads. Two 12-inch crash cymbals and a 14-inch ride cymbal supply hardy 360-degree playing surfaces, moving and articulating just like the real deal with three playing zones for bell, bow, and edge percussing. Its 12-inch Active Magnetic hi-hat offers identical playing detail, but with magnetic position sensing for maximum precision while working in conjunction with your hi-hat stand. Strata Core responds with astonishing acoustic realism to translate your vibe with total comfort and confidence. Powerful, jam-packed Core module As comprehensive as they come and carrying a massive sound library, the BFD engine–powered Core drum module is everything you want and need from a drum brain. The 7-inch touchscreen makes navigation a complete breeze, providing access to 75 preset kits from the factory and a limitless number of user kit slots. That’s a good thing, too, considering the Core module supplies over 370 kit pieces, over 800 articulations, and over 144,000 samples with detailed stacking capabilities and mix/FX parameters for conjuring any drum kit your mind can devise. Beyond its sounds, the Core module offers connection points for control over USB and 5-pin MIDI, plus Bluetooth 5.0 and 1/8-inch TRS options make jam-alongs with songs and practice files over your devices painless. Record up to 32GB of percussion content, and take advantage of the included BFD player and expansion pack to let your creativity skyrocket. Plus, Alesis is tossing in a 90-day Drumeo subscription on the house!
