Alesis, a benchmark for affordable electronic drum sets, popularized mesh head kits for home learning. The Turbo Mesh Kit stands as a serious entry-level model, designed to offer the essentials without compromising playability. It targets drummers seeking a reliable and quiet first kit, positioned below the brand's more advanced solutions but with a very competitive quality/features ratio.
Ideal for beginners and returning players, the Turbo Mesh Kit also suits intermediate levels looking for a discreet practice kit for apartments. Its ready-to-play kits cover pop, rock, electro, hip-hop styles and rudimentary training. Thanks to the integrated headphone and metronome, it is perfect for working on timing, independence, and dynamics without disturbing others.
The 8" mesh heads offer a feel close to an acoustic drum shell, with even tension and comfortable rebound for rudiment practice. The module is instantly user-friendly: 10 modern and classic kits, 120 sounds, 30 backing tracks, plus a Coach mode that guides progress (tempo, accuracy, endurance). The complete connectivity (USB/MIDI for DAW integration, Aux input to play along with your tracks, headphone and line outputs) facilitates practice, recording, and amplified playing. The aluminum rack ensures stable setup and easy adjustment, even in small spaces.
The module offers versatile samples with clear attacks and well-defined transients, suitable for study and daily playing. The mesh pads promote good dynamic sensitivity: ghost notes, accents, and crescendos are easier to control than on rubber pads, allowing expressive and musical playing.
On headphones, the sound is precise and comfortable for long sessions. On stereo line output, the kits maintain clarity and projection, whether through a small practice speaker or an audio interface for a home studio.
