Command Your Virtual Drums with a Real 5-piece Kit The USB Studio Drum Kit from Alesis is an electronic drum set that gives you hardware control over your MIDI and software-based drum instruments. It includes four 8" drum pads, a hi-hat cymbal with a dedicated variable control pedal, and a ride and crash cymbal. The included Trigger|io interface allows you to connect to a computer via its USB port, and to use the drum pads and cymbals to to trigger software instruments like BFD, Toontrack, and Reason (Mac and Windows compatible). The Trigger|io allows you to expand your kit with its 10 inputs for electronic drums and cymbals. A MIDI out is included on the back of the Trigger|io that enables you to play sound modules and other MIDI controlled instruments. All of the included drums have dual-zones for a realistic playing feel, and the TRS inputs on the Trigger|io enable you to use both zones. Another 1/4" TRS input on the Trigger|io that allows you to instantly change the drum set with a foot switch. The Real Head Kick Pad allows you to use the single or double-beater kick drum pedal of your choice (a kick drum pedal is not included). The cymbals feature a rubberized surface material that keeps the feel of a real cymbal, without making very much noise when played. There are large choke triggers on the underside of the crash cymbal and the dual-zone ride. The black aluminum Stealth Rack is ergonomic and fully adjustable, and allows you room to add more drums and cymbals to your kit.
