Hey all, on watching this back I realise I talk about having Bluetooth or wireless functionality to connect to headphones or speakers, the reality of that would be pretty terrible as there would be a delay from hitting the pad to hearing the sounds, so it’s not really practical. A guy can dream though. 😅🤘🏻

I’ve been playing for 30 years, just bought one of these kits for the sake of space saving and noise reduction so the issues with the pedal/snare stand won’t effect me as I already have my own stand/pedal that I can use and well happy that I caught your video so I can avoid the snare issue from the start!

I put the snare where the module is usually mounted so it is sturdier having two leg support, it also mounts it higher since I'm tall. I then mounted the module on the arm meant for the snare and swung it outside the kit. It's a little harder to reach and see, but it's working out way better this way.

I've had no issues with the snare, but I've noticed that some people set the kit up incorrectly by having the top toms L brackets on the inside of the rack instead of the outside. That means that the toms are closer to you, and then you have to move the snare too far along the horizontal cross piece towards you, and that's probably where the issue starts. Also if you're a hard hitter with heavy sticks that ain't gonna help either. I agree with you, students WACK drums and then you have problems, I've had no issues with my Max and it's been 3 months.

@@Imbettadenu It's very simple and TOMS AREN'T THE ISSUE - I don't know why they are brought up. Basically on mounting points thumbwheels are facing down and mount point (hole) should be on outside of frame - not inside that is ALL. A mere flip or spin fixes what is a non issue.

The module is a major upgrade. The rack is weak and flimsy. Cymbals are sub-par. The new pads are great. Overall, a decent entry level e-kit.

The reason bluetooth headphones have never been a thing, with any wireless instrument/in-ear monitor setups, is due to audio latency. No one wants to hear drums play after they've struck them. We are just now starting to reach 10ms "acceptable" latency for the newest Bluetooth 5.3, but it would probably be more expensive for gadgets to install. But you're right, maybe one day it will be fast enough and cheap enough...

There are a few videos where they demonstrate the sound without the module involved. The only problem I've ever heard is that the bass drum (kick) can cause a thumping that might be heard in the apartment below. Put a good layer of rubber-bottomed carpet under it, is the recommended solution.

You clearly really believe in the Nitro Mesh/Max system because it has been suggested to so many of your students, but if there were just ONE model from elsewhere (either Alesis or other) that you said "I don't want to rock the boat when so many students have Nitro but I kind of wish everyone had X" what would it be? Maybe a bit pricier something?

For the snare, just buy a cheap snare stand. $25. Furniture risers can "lift" the kit. Buy audio y-splitters to access the other triggers from the toms adding piezo transducers to whatever you want to hit. You can also add low-volume cymbals with piezo transducers. A low-cost Yamaha FP-7210A pedal is a good upgrade too. This kit can really be expanded.

Thanks for the comment and I'm glad it was useful. On a 'real' cymbal you can create three distinct sounds; hitting the edge for a 'crash' sound, hitting the face for a ping sound and hitting the bell of the ride for a more cutting sound, if learning grades, this becomes useful from about grade 5, so from an intermediate/advanced level a three zone functionality starts to become useful. Hope that helps!
