UNMISTAKABLE ALESIS FEEL

Like all Alesis drum sets, the DM6 USB Express Kit features realistic, natural-feeling playing surfaces. To reduce vibration feedback, we selected natural rubber drum and cymbal surfaces for the DM6 Express Kit’s pads. This four-piece kit gets you started on a dual-zone snare pad for two-sound compatibility. You can dial in a snare drum sound in the center and a rim click, rimshot, or something totally different like a cowbell on the rim.

The DM6 USB Express Kit also comes with two tom pads, an upright kick drum pad, hi-hat and crash cymbal pads. It even comes with an Alesis bass drum pedal and the kick pad is compatible with any single or double bass drum pedal for your personal feel.

OUTSTANDING SOUND

The DM6 module features an internal collection of top-notch drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds that will blow you away. You can edit any one of the 10 preset kits and save your custom sounds within 5 custom slots. In addition to the sounds in the DM6 module, there’s a USB output that sends the notes you play out as MIDI signals. This allows you to use the DM6 as a trigger-to-MIDI interface with drum-module software such as BFD, Toontrack, or Reason for a limitless collection of sounds.

The DM6 drum module has headphone and amplifier outputs so you can play quietly in phones or connect up and rock out. Plug in an iPod or CD player to DM6’s stereo input jack and perform along with your favorite music.

UPGRADING IS EASY

Nobody likes being left without a way to upgrade. Fortunately, everything you need to expand your DM6 USB Express Kit is built right in. If your drumming needs grow and you want to add to your kit, we’ve made it easy. You can order a DM6 Cable Snake with additional inputs on it, a DMPad 8″ Single-Zone Pad or DMPad 12″ Cymbal using the Related Products links on the right of this page. When your new gear arrives, simply connect the new cable snake to your DM6 module and the other end to the new cymbal or drum pad and you’re ready to rock.

PRACTICE TOOLS

The DM6 module has a metronome, an essential tool for keeping steady time whether you’re practicing alone or with a band. The DM6 module also has a built-in sequencer with 40 preset music tracks.

RUGGED HARDWARE

A drumset is only as strong as its weakest link. The DM6 USB Express Kit mounts on a heavy-duty aluminum rack. The standard 1 1/2″ tubing enables you to add on with Alesis and other brands’ clamps and mounts. The DM6 USB Express Kit also comes with a full set of mounting hardware and cables, as well as rugged kick drum and hi-hat pedals.
