Since 1985, Alesis has been taking the market by storm with their innovative products. Now, they've added two new electronic drum kits to their already impressive line-up: the CompactKit 4 and the CompactKit 7. These two tabletop drum kits are very compact indeed, but harbour a surprising amount of different sounds.
For beginners
The CompactKit 4 is made for beginner drummers. 80 different sounds can be assigned to any of the four velocity-sensitive pads. A number of coaching and play-along features help you learn how to play perfectly in time. Furthermore, the indicator LEDs that show you which pad to hit and the built-in game function make playing and learning more fun than ever.
A complete kit
The CompactKit 7, meanwhile, is a slightly bigger model. It will still fit on your table top, but it also comes with two pedals for playing the hi-hat and bass drum. Moreover, it has 265 sounds, as well as 45 pre-programmed drum kits and 100 play-along tracks. It's not just beginner drummers that will appreciate this compact kit, even producers, DJs and other musicians will find plenty to like. That's because it has a recording function and a USB-MIDI output, so that you can connect it to a DAW or virtual instrument.
