ALESIS "Strata Club"
The most compact model in the Strata range, the Strata Club is the ideal compromise for drummers who want a compact drum kit, but without compromising on quality compared to its big sisters. Equipped with the same module as the Strata Club, an ultra-sturdy metal rack, premium mesh-head toms and ultra-realistic ARC 360° cymbals, the Strata Club is quite simply the ultimate 7-piece kit for the most demanding drummers. NOTE: Bass drum pedal and hi-hat stand are sold separately.
Features:
The shells
A dual-zone snare drum with independent rim click and rim shot sounds, accompanied by two 10" dual-zone toms and an 8" bass drum pad provide a comfortable playing surface, compatible with all varieties of single and double pedals. The tension of the mesh heads can be adjusted to your preference for optimal rebound and expressiveness. Unwanted "hotspots" on the heads are eliminated thanks to our patented anti-hotspot sensor design (US Patent 9,424,827).
New ARC cymbals
The ARC cymbals of the Strata Club are extremely sensitive with a finely chiseled surface. The two cymbals - the 14" ride and the two 12" crashes - are triple-zone, with different sounds triggered on the bell, the arch and the edge of each cymbal. They are 360-degree reactive, allowing you to play on their entire surface, and they are mounted on standard acoustic cymbal arms, allowing them to move and react naturally. All cymbals are equipped with dual-edge sensors (patent pending) and offer incredible expressiveness without the need to adjust your technique.
The hi-hat
The 12" hi-hat is the world's first active magnetic foot-mounted controller. Like the cymbals, it offers an extremely sensitive 360° triple-zone playing surface. Magnetic position detection ensures that pedal movements are translated with extraordinarily high resolution; this means that the contactless controller is unmatched in its precision. Its active technology is powered directly from the module; no additional power adapter is required. This hi-hat can be played with a wide variety of hi-hat stands. In short, it is a hi-hat extremely close to an acoustic model with incredible sensitivity and feel!
Hardware
The curved steel rack of the Strata Club forms the main structure on which the toms, cymbals and module are mounted. Strong but flexible, it allows the configuration to be adapted to the ideal playing position. The ARC cymbals can be mounted on any boom, and the 8” Bass drum pad can accommodate a single or double pedal. The crash and ride cymbals can be mounted on standard acoustic cymbal stands, without being limited by the rack holders.
