The Alesis CompactKit 7 is a versatile tabletop electronic drumset that‎'‎s great for a novice to train on with enough control to charm a veteran drummer‎.‎

Seven velocity‎-sensitive drum pads with realistic feel and response deliver hundreds of percussion sounds to choose from‎.‎ It also comes with two pedals for hi‎-hat and kick drum‎,‎ so you have all the options of an acoustic set in a smaller‎,‎ portable package‎.‎ You can pick from more than a hundred built‎-in songs and adjust their tempo so you‎'‎re able to comfortably play them as you train‎,‎ with options for a metronome to guide you and visual feedback for each pad strike and footswitch‎.‎

Think you‎'‎re ready to expand your sound potential‎?‎ Use the USB‎-MIDI output to connect CompactKit 7 to your favorite digital audio workstations ‎(‎DAWs‎)‎ and plug‎-ins to use it as a MIDI controller‎.‎

Unlike traditional kits‎,‎ this one is small enough to join you on your roadtrips and family vacations‎.‎ Use a wall outlet or put in six C batteries to provide up to 14 hours of battery life‎.‎

The built‎-in speakers and headphone output jack mean you can quickly switch between public performance and private practice—whatever fits the circumstances best‎.‎ Indulge your creativity at 2 a‎.‎m‎.‎ without making the rest of your family—or the neighbors—hate you‎.‎

A pair of drumsticks complete the package‎,‎ but if you ever lose them‎,‎ you‎'‎re still all right‎:‎ switch to Hand Percussion and play bongo‎-style‎.‎

The CompactKit 7 has something for the drummer in everyone‎.‎
