With five rugged, velocity-sensitive drum pads and three cymbal pads, the Alesis DM7 electronic drum set offers a concert-level drumming experience powered by a sound module with over 400 sounds. The large snare pad has three separate zones featuring a solid snare sound, mellow cross-stick, and blistering rimshot to truly replicate the versatility of an acoustic snare drum. Equally impressive, the crash cymbal allows you to immediately stop or 'choke' the sound by grabbing the pad with your hand, a feature not always available in electronic drums. You can even mix and match your favorite sounds in this Alesis drum set, thanks to its 30 custom drum kits. The DM7 also features USB connectivity, a built-in metronome, lessons, and a performance record feature for a dynamic playing experience.
