First Class Electronic Drum Kit, the Alesis DM10 X Kit, to be Showcased at Summer NAMM 2011

Cumberland, R.I. (July 19, 2011) – Alesis, the fastest growing electronic drum brand in the world,  announces the DM10 X Kit, a premium, six-piece, professional electronic  drum set. Alesis will unveil the DM10 X Kit electronic drum set at Booth #400 at the 2011 Summer NAMM show from July 21st- 23rd in Nashville, TN.

With the groundbreaking Alesis DM10 module, a comprehensive set of large electronic drums and cymbal pads, and an all-new Xrack, the DM10 X Kit is designed to  offer capabilities and features previously only available on kits  costing thousands more. The DM10 X Kit features an expansive six-drum,  four-cymbal configuration with sizes and spatial relationships that will  feel natural to acoustic and electronic drummers alike: a 12-inch  snare, two 10-inch toms, two 12-inch floor toms, a 12-inch hi-hat, a  16-inch, three-zone ride cymbal and two 14-inch crash cymbals.

Designed  with an emphasis on performance and adaptability, the DM10 X Kit’s  all-new Xrack is rugged, chrome-plated and features an ultra-solid  four-post design. New Alesis quick-release clamps secure each pad in  place and allow drummers to rearrange their setup in seconds without  tools and without having to the rack apart. A few turns of a T-bolt is  all it takes to release a clamp and move a pad. The DM10 X Kit’s snare  pad comes with a separate, fully adjustable snare stand that allows  drummers to place the snare pad precisely where they want it.

With the DM10 X Kit, Alesis unveils a new-look DM10 module,  which contains more than 1,000 uncompressed, sample-based sounds that  were produced using Alesis’ proprietary Dynamic Articulation™  technology.

“The  DM10 X Kit has the most generous drum and cymbal pad configuration  we’ve ever offered,” said Dan Radin, Alesis Product manager. “There’s  simply no other electronic drum kit in this price class with 12-inch  drum pads, 14 and 16-inch cymbals or such a professional grade of  hardware.”

The DM10 X Kit electronic drum set will be available from musical instrument and pro audio retailers in Q3  2011. It has a U.S. Retail Price of $1,999.00 and an estimated street  price of $1,699.00.
