8-Piece Electronic Kit With Mesh Kick & Snare Pads  

   

Product Overview
This 8-piece electronic drum kit steps up from the already excellent playing response of the Forge with our
exclusive Alesis snare and kick drum Mesh drum heads (Patent Pending) that deliver an authentic drumming
experience, with “real drum” sound, response and rebound. There are also two 9” dual-zone rack toms and an 11”
dual-zone floor tom. This set really fulfils the promise of delivering a great feel with an incredibly lifelike drumming
sound.

The set also features a 10” ride cymbal, a responsive 10” hi-hat with pedal and a 10” crash with choke function.
The included Advanced Drum Module features 70 drum kits (50 factory pre-set + 20 user-customisable) with over
600 sounds and 60 play-along tracks and a built-in metronome. The premium chrome 4-post rack and boom
cymbal arms keeps everything solidly anchored, so there’s never any ‘travel,’ or ’creep.’
