Designed for drummers who demand
realistic feel, quiet performance, and creative versatility, the
Alesis Nitro Ultimate Mesh Kit represents the next generation of electronic drum kits. Featuring ultra-responsive mesh heads, a revolutionary moving hi-hat, and an advanced BFD sound module, this kit delivers a natural, expressive, and connected playing experience—perfect for home practice, stage performance, or studio sessions.
Realistic playing feel and performance
At the heart of the
Nitro Ultimate are its
dual-zone mesh pads: a 10” snare and three 8” toms that reproduce the nuanced response of an acoustic drum set. The rebound and sensitivity are finely tuned to capture every ghost note and rimshot, offering an authentic and dynamic feel. The 8” kick pad, mounted on a standalone tower and compatible with double bass pedals, provides solid power and precision while keeping the noise level low—ideal for home use.
A moving hi-hat for natural control
The standout innovation of the Nitro Ultimate is its
moving hi-hat with a pedal-mounted controller, compatible with a standard acoustic hi-hat stand. This smart system allows full control of open, closed, and half-pedal positions, with smooth transitions in between. The result: a natural, expressive hi-hat experience that faithfully reproduces acoustic techniques once reserved for high-end kits.
Powerful and intuitive sound module
The
Nitro Ultimate Sound Module comes loaded with 52 kits (36 factory presets and 16 user kits) and over 640 premium drum and percussion sounds. All samples are derived from the world-renowned
BFD Player library, ensuring realistic tone and dynamic range across every genre—rock, funk, jazz, metal, or electronic. The module includes:
- A built-in metronome for precise timing practice
- Aux input and Bluetooth audio for jamming with your favorite tracks
- USB/MIDI connectivity for DAW integration and virtual instruments
- Headphone and stereo line outputs for silent practice or live performance
With a clear LCD display and user-friendly controls, the module makes sound customization and kit saving simple and intuitive.
Stable construction and comfortable setup
The Pro-grade four-post steel rack ensures
rock-solid stability even during energetic sessions. Adjustable arms and cymbal booms let you tailor your setup to your body and playing style. Compact yet robust, the
Nitro Ultimate fits perfectly in home studios, rehearsal spaces, or on stage.
