Are you looking for an electronic kit you can grow into? One with an even larger dose of factory and user kits? The Alesis Command Mesh Special Edition Kit boasts all of these features and more, while sporting a realistic-feeling full set of beautiful and tunable white mesh heads for a great price. Every dual-zone drum pad on the Alesis Command Mesh Special Edition Kit can be tuned tighter or looser for a custom playing response. There are a whopping 671 drum/percussion sounds and 74 complete kits/20 user slots aboard the advanced Command Drum Module, just waiting to inspire new grooves and simpler sessions and live performances. And with 60 play-along practice tracks, an onboard metronome, a USB-MIDI DAW connection, and an 1/8-inch music input, this Alesis Command Mesh Special Edition Kit is a winner for practice and song creation. A black powder-coated rack stand, mounting hardware, foot pedals, connection cables, a power supply, a key, and drumsticks are all included.

A full set of tunable mesh heads

Whether you come from a set, orchestral, or marching background, you'll find the response you're after in the Alesis Command Mesh Special Edition Kit. The tunable, tightly woven white mesh heads allow players of all backgrounds to customize rebound and sensitivity for a custom playing response.

From electronic and to classic studio acoustic kits, to metal kits and world percussion, your sound is waiting inside the Alesis Command!

Better than I could have imagined

For this price point, it's absolutely incredible. I don't know how Alesis can sell such a quality kit for only $, but I'm not complaining lol. Also, I've been very impressed with the customer service of Sweetwater. They now have a customer for life.

Reliability Is Questionable

I have had this set for less than six years. So far the kick pad and snare pad have failed. To replace these you have to buy from a third party as Alesis only sells complete sets. Now my cymbals are failing. I am not a happy drummer. No mas.
Rated 3/5

Ok while it lasts.

Bought this kit in May 2019. Was great to get back into drumming again. One cymbal pad went bad after a couple of months but was replaced under warranty. Then along came a Covid puppy and I didn't play this kit for over a year. It sat in a climate controlled environment and covered.
When I did start to play again the snare went bad. They use the absolute thinnest gauge wiring I have ever seen! The snare trigger wire actually just broke. Snapped where it was soldered. This was now past warranty and they wanted too much to repair and too much for a new pad. Fixed it myself by soldering. Now the other lead wire went bad same as the first. Going to have to rewire the head with heavier gauge wire.
The 1/4" jacks for every head and cymbal pad do not have enough pressure to properly hold the 1/4" plug firmly while playing causing sound to drop out. You get used to applying pressure to reinsert while playing because you're a drummer and you have coordination. ;)
The bass drum pad has worn a hole but here's the kicker, pun intended, you can't just rotate the drum head to a different position, no, they would rather you buy a new bass drum pad for a couple hundred bucks.
I like all the different drum sounds and it's fun to play when it works. But now I'm done for awhile until the snare drum is fixed or replaced?

Edit to 9/19/23 Review -Ok, While It Lasts

Since my last review I have not invested more money to fix the snare or replace it. I did however move one rack tom to the snare location.
The right side crash cymbal no longer receives a signal when struck. Cymbal is good, module does not trigger it.
Fixed the hole in the kick pad with Gear Aid Tenacious Tape Repair Patches. But now the kick pad is intermittent when playing, not because of the repair. Note: use the hard side of the beater so as not to wear a hole in the head.
The cable for the kick pad no longer sends a signal to the module. So since I moved the tom to the snare now I have the tom cable plugged into the kick pad and changed the sound to floor tom for more bass. But that hasn't stopped the kick pad from dropping out so I guess the trigger in that is going bad.
I've tried a factory reset on the module but that hasn't fixed any of the sound issues.
By far the worst piece of equipment I have ever invested in with absolutely no help from Alesis to resolve any of these issues except to suggest they can sell me new pieces to replace the bad ones.
Note that this kit was purchased 5/15/19 and actually sat unplayed for a full year in a studio during Covid and has never been gigged.
