Natural-Feeling Playing Surfaces

Great Sounds
The DM6 USB kit features the DM6 module with a built-in collection of high-quality drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds. The module allows for 10 presets and five custom slots to edit and save custom-built drum kits. For even more sounds, there's a USB output that sends drum hits as MIDI signals, which allow the DM6 to act as a trigger-to-MIDI interface. Using this function, the drum and cymbal pads can trigger drum-module software such as BFD, Toontrack, or Reason for a limitless collection of sounds.
The Alesis DM6 USB has headphone and amplifier outputs to allow for quiet practices or loud performances. In addition, a stereo input jack on the module means an iPod or CD player can be pumped in for jam-along learning sessions.
Heavy-Duty Hardware
