![]() ![]() Yes I've read about the Strike and Strike Pro and I'm glad I didn't buy those. As soon as I sat down on this kit at GC I immediately fell in love with it. I need something that looks AND feels like a real drum set. (Roland td 50kvx) Most of the TD series I've seen are good/great but they LOOK like electric kits. I've only see really expensive Roland kits that look like real drum sets. My Alesis Strike Pro SE is arriving on Thursday October 15th! :) Acrylic and a vintage 80's power tom Pearl BLX like Tico Torres and Jeff Pocaro. but a purest who has to play in small venues with the audience right on top of us. At the end of the day though its all down to personal taste, if you are able to get somewhere to try both models out i would before purchasing. The bass drum feels solid on the VAD as well. Iv found i can replicate the layout of my old acoustic kit which makes playing better. One thing that i do like is that each drum is stand mounted, so you dont have a rack to move if you want to take your drums to a friends etc. The drums themselves dont feel too small, the cymbals are ok and responsive, no problems with the hihat sensitivity or anything. I will probably look into an add on pack from somewhere in the future but for now its ok for what i need. Im sure with more time and resesrch you can make some great sounding edits to the drum sounds. I have had a very basic play around with editing the sounds and iv got a user kit that sounds (to me at least) okish. Iv not noticed any machine gunning, the sounds could be better. I cant speak for the Alesis but i recentely got the VAD306. Do you agree or disagree with what I have to say? Also please don’t turn this into a bloodbath or pride and bias. I’m curious to see which you guys think is the better drum set. The Roland is very customizable and easy to navigate, but the sounds are not too great. The Alesis module has better sounds and more sounds. The Roland has smaller and fewer pads, but is known to last a long time. Of course, this is based off of my situation, I can’t speak for those who plan on keeping their drum set for 10 or more years.Īlesis Strike Pro SE has more pads, but is known to break easily. If I were to sell a used drum set, I felt that the Roland would sell for much higher and quicker. ![]() I don’t see myself having this drum set for more than 5 years, since by that time, I’ll have to focus on law school. My choice between the two is Roland, for now. However, I have heard some people complain about how the Roland modules tend to machine gun a lot. It also has bluetooth connectivity for your phones, which is great for people like me who don’t have aux-in’s on my phone. The sounds are very customizable and the layout is very well made. ![]() Roland’s td-17 module is very handy as well. Unfortunately, the Alesis module has some lag time when selecting kits, meaning it’d be difficult to change kits mid-song. When comparing modules, I might say that Alesis has the upper hand, since there are more sounds, the sounds get updated regularly (for free), there are faders on the Alesis, there is a color screen in the module, subjectively the sounds are better. ![]() Personally, I’m like the Roland cymbals better, but they are pretty similar regardless. Also, Alesis will send you a new pad if it breaks. I hear that they have fixed this, but I’m not sure. I’ve also heard many people complaining about how unresponsive the hihat is. Note that Alesis has been known for breaking very quickly, and that Roland has been known for lasting a long time without breaking. They’re both the same price, but there are a few differences.Īlesis comes with an larger and more pads and cymbals. I want to know what people think when comparing the Alesis Strike Pro SE and the Roland VAD306 drum sets. ![]()
