The Alesis Debut Electronic Drum Kit is equipped with the advanced DM-Lite module, which features 10 realistic preset drum kits and over 120 individual drum sounds. These sounds are triggered by Alesis Dynamic Articulation technology for optimal response. The kit also includes four specialized tunable mesh-head drums that allow accurate tension adjustment, providing the 6″ pads with the feel of an acoustic kit. Despite being designed for young beginners (ages 5-10), the Alesis Debut is not a toy, thanks to its robust metal rack chassis and durable playing surfaces.
The DM-Lite module has a USB port that allows for easy connection to a computer or mobile device for recording and MIDI control. It also offers the option to switch to the Melodics app, which provides over 60 play-along lessons. With a simple setup, headphones, a drum throne, and a pair of drumsticks included, you can start your drumming adventure as soon as you open the box.
Outside the box, the DM-Lite module offers fun features to keep your creativity high. You can play along with your favorite songs by connecting an external audio device through the stereo mini-jack aux in connection. Additionally, the kit can be connected to a PA system, monitor, or amp through the pair of 1/4″ jack outputs, allowing you to play at full volume without headphones. Moreover, the Alesis Debut’s intelligent design allows it to be folded up and easily stored, keeping your living room tidy. The hi-hat and kick drum pedals can be hidden away, and the included Velcro strap helps keep your cables organized.
To help you get started, the Alesis Debut comes with the free Melodics app, which offers more than 60 free lessons. This intuitive tutorial app tracks your playing in real-time and provides feedback to help you improve quickly. You can easily connect the kit to your Mac, PC, or mobile device through the sound module’s USB port. Once connected, you can select your kit from the drop-down menu in the app and start working your way through the 18 skill levels.
The Alesis Debut is designed to provide you with the benefits of a full acoustic drum kit, along with the convenience of near-silent rehearsal when using the included headphones. The four tunable mesh heads give you the physical sensation of playing a real kit, and they can be adjusted using a drum key to achieve the perfect combination of rebound and response. The low-profile kick drum and hi-hat pedals, along with the drum and cymbal pads, offer incredible touch-sensitivity thanks to Alesis Dynamic Articulation technology. This technology ensures that the tone of each element accurately changes with the power of your hits, just like a real drum or cymbal would react. Whether you’re playing soft ambient cymbal rolls or powerful rock beats, the Alesis Debut’s high-tech electronics reproduce every nuance of your playing.
The Alesis Debut kit includes the DM-Lite sound module, four 6″ drum pads, three 10″ cymbal pads, two cymbal poles, hi-hat and kick drum floor pedals, a cable snake, a sound module power adapter, drumsticks, a drum stool, headphones, a drum key, a Velcro strap, a user guide, and a safety and warranty manual. The product code for the kit is DEBUTKITXEUK.
