Alesis Drum - Kit Stream

With this Kit Stream recording module, Alesis Drum makes it easy to create musical content via a USB-C connection that transmits audio and MIDI to a computer. You’ll be able to record your takes and edit them in your usual software. This USB interface for acoustic drums also simplifies live streaming, without the need for a separate audio interface.

To shape the sound without leaving your seat, controls are directly accessible, allowing you to adjust levels, trigger sensitivity and effects. Automatic calibration adapts the recording to your playing style. This live drum mixing system therefore prioritises quick and accessible control.

Alesis has built 500 drum and percussion sounds into the Kit Stream module, organised into 50 preset kits, as well as 100 slots for saving your own configurations. With 13 reverb effects, 26 other effects, compression and an equaliser, you have a range of processing options at your fingertips without having to leave your drum stool.

The Kit Stream comes with a bass drum trigger that converts strikes into MIDI data and also features 3 jack inputs that support up to 6 additional triggers. This allows you to expand your setup with 6 pads, combining the capabilities of an acoustic drum kit with electronic percussion.

The internal recording function allows for up to 50 hours of recording, divided into 60-minute sequences, without a connected computer. You’ll therefore be able to save musical ideas, rehearsals or exercises before transferring them to your production environment. For a standalone recorder for acoustic drums, this capability offers real creative freedom, without having to rely on a computer being switched on.

The dynamic microphone input adds a sound source to the main recording. You can boost the bass drum or snare drum, add an overhead mic, or include your vocals during a broadcast. This streaming solution for drummers adapts to a variety of playing and listening set-ups.
