![]() ![]() Is it $10,000.00 better than the Alesis Strike Pro SE? In my humble opinion, no. Is Roland better in terms of Reliability, Build Quality, Technology & Resale Value? Yes, yes it 100% absolutely is. Taxes in, plus the extra cymbal, you're coming in around $14k. In Canada the most comparable Roland kit in terms of pad sizes, number of pads/cymbals, shell depth (overall aesthetics/stage presence), and drum module features (Faders, Options, sound bank) is the TD-50KV2. I recently purchased the Strike Pro SE after years of being a die hard roland owner/player, but when it came time to justify prices.oof. I think this is a false comparison solely based on price. They have a natural sticking feel and you won’t be disappointed in how they respond to all types of sticking.I often see these price point comparisons between the Alesis Strike Pro SE and the TD-27KV. The cymbal mounting can be adjusted to move and sway to your preference. The crashes and ride have three zone along with a choke, so you can play them like a traditional cymbal with different sounds on the edges, top and bell. The slightly larger size over other electronic kits is nice. The cymbals play nicely as well, even though they are still using a hard rubber surface. ![]() And you can adjust the tension of the kick head with the tension rod as well. The rebound of the kick pedal on the drum head feels great. Having a mesh head mounted inside a 20 inch kick drum shell, with a proper rim to mount a kick pedal on, is amazing to put it lightly. The kick drum has an amazing feel as well and is leaps ahead of the kits that just have hard rubber kick pads. We like to dial in the toms a little looser on the tom heads and keep the snare tight, which really makes the drums feel real. While the toms are slightly smaller, they feel great. The full 14 inch diameter on the snare makes you forget sometimes that you are playing and electronic drum. The feel of the snare and the toms is incredible due to the mesh heads and the ability to tighten them to your preference. If you want electronic drums but have been turned off by how some of the more budget friendly kits feel, a kit like this might be right for you. ![]() This kit really tries hard to make everything feel as natural as possible – and it succeeds. The hi-hats at 14 inches are excellent though, as that is the typical size of acoustic hi-hats. The ride feels a little small at only 16 inches. There is a spring mechanism built into the hi-hat pad that registers the up/down movement of the hi-hat in a much more natural feeling way than some of the electronic hi-hat pedals on lower budget kits.Īll three crash cymbals are the same size at 14 inches. It’s designed to be mounted on a standard hi-hat stand so it will feel a lot more natural to play. The hit-hat cymbal is also unique in design. The ride and the crashes are triple zone pads with chokes – so you can play them very dynamically and generate lots of sound variation from them during play. They are just a little smaller than what you might play for a typical cymbal on a traditional kit, but they feel great when sitting behind the kit and sizing everything up. They also have a textured hammered look to them. The pads are fully active all the way around the cymbal. These are pretty good cymbal pads, more than sufficient for a kit at this price range. ![]()
