A Big Kick is a Big Deal
The original Alesis Strike drums were revolutionary, featuring innovative drum and cymbal designs. The Strike Pro Special Edition builds on that legacy, most notably with its full-sized 20-inch kick drum. It looks and feels like an acoustic drum. When you sit behind the Strike Pro Special Edition with its full-size kick, the playing and visual feel is fundamentally identical to an acoustic set. You’ll feel at ease right away—no having to “get used to it.” The Strike Pro Special Edition’s kick is solid and sturdy, with no wobble. It responds and feels like an acoustic bass drum. It’s ground-breaking.
Multiple Contact Points and Dynamic Mesh Heads
The Strike Pro Special Edition utilizes all-new latest-generation mesh heads, dual-zone for the snare and all the toms. Their response is faster, more natural and easier-playing than ever before. You will fly over these heads, effortlessly laying down powerful grooves and snapping off crisp fills. These heads won’t fight you; instead, these new Alesis mesh heads are your best ally.
Adjust the Sensitivity at the Source, Right on the Drum!
Strike Pro Special Edition‘s lugs are attached directly to the shell, exactly like those in acoustic drums. The direct adjustment offered by these lugs is yet another way in which the Strike Pro Special Edition is superior to other e-kits. Strike Pro Special Edition premium hybrid wood shell snare and toms come in in standard acoustic drum sizes (8-10-12-14”) so drummers instantly feel at home when they sit behind them. Hey, we know you want your gear to look as good as it sounds too, right? That’s why the Strike Pro Special Edition boasts truly striking black hardware and gold tension rods, along with a visually-distinctive mesh head design. Looking great while sounding great is a deadly combination.
Quality You Can Hear and Feel
The 3-zone Strike Pro Special Edition 16” ride cymbal, 14” crash, and 14” movable hi-hat feel spectacularly realistic: They are covered with a new thick comfortable rubber that creates the perfect blend of feel, control, bounce and volume. The cymbals offer a large bell area for enhanced playability, along with a cool “hammered” look. Plus, these cymbals are much quieter than traditional e-cymbals, perfect for your late-night practice sessions when volume needs to be minimized. The new hi-hat in particular sets a new e-standard for fast response, solidity and its amazing ability to convey a deft, subtle touch.
Powerful Module for a Powerful Drum Set
The Strike Pro Module is by far the most versatile and capable module that Alesis has ever offered.

The module has onboard sampling capability, 16GB external card storage, and USB/MIDI connectivity, which you can use in conjunction with your favorite music production software as well as the powerful new Strike Software Editor.

It adds up to unprecedented flexibility and programmability, combined with total mastery of the kit’s status.
