An electronic drum kit with high-end features and behaviors, the Alesis Crimson II Special Edition Electronic Drum Kit offers an immersive playing experience for all drummers. Powered by the expansive Crimson II drum module, this 9-piece configuration provides endless creative possibilities and performance options. The dual-zone drum pads have Alesis customary mesh heads for a realistic feel and response.
The Crimson II module has a vast library of samples with 671 unique sounds and 74 kits, including 20 presets that can be customized. The 4-piece cymbal set-up, consisting of a hi-hat, two crash pads, and a triple-zone ride, allows for a variety of audio options. The kit is housed in a sturdy quick-lock steel rack, ensuring stability wherever you take it. With its unmistakable crimson trim, these drums defy any notion that electronic kits lack visual appeal.

This special edition of the Crimson II series features all white mesh heads on the drum pads, to contrast with the crimson trims and black cymbals/hardware, creating a striking visual aesthetic.

Each pad features Alesis patented tightly-woven mesh heads, providing a natural rebound and response. This makes the Crimson II perfect for quiet practice sessions, studio recording, and live performances.
To complement the drum pads, the Alesis Crimson II comes with a 4-piece set of electronic cymbals. This set includes a 12″ hi-hat, two 12″ crash pads with a choke feature, and a 14″ triple-zone ride. These cymbals offer a balance of control and bounce that enhances the immersive playing experience of the Crimson II.
