Alesis Strata Club

Every detail of the Alesis Strata Club is engineered to give advanced and experienced drummers a responsive, natural playing experience. The Mesh Strata heads feature adjustable tension, the 360° ARC cymbals move freely and respond like acoustic cymbals, and the Active Magnetic Hi-Hat delivers crisp precision and accuracy.

The Club's drum sizes save much-needed studio space without compromising playability. The dual-zone mesh toms deliver a realistic feel and, thanks to the curved steel rack with reinforced mounts, offer numerous mounting options. The 12" dual-zone mesh snare drum and the 12" hi-hat provide excellent, familiar response when playing. Combined with the 8" mesh kick, you'll feel right at home whether you use single or double kick pedals.

Drums

A two-zone snare drum with independent sounds triggered by the head, rim click and rim shot, followed by 10" toms and an 8" kick drum, provides a generous playing surface suitable for all single- and double-bass-pedal setups. Tension is adjustable on all mesh heads, so you can dial in rebound and feel to your preference. Unnatural and unwanted "hotspots" on the heads are eliminated by the unique, patented anti-hotspot sensor design.

ARC Cymbals

The Strata Club ARC cymbals are extremely sensitive and feature a beautifully lathed surface. Both cymbals—the 14" ride and the 12" crash—are three-zone and produce distinct sounds at the bell, bow and edge. They are 360° responsive, so you can play anywhere on the cymbal, and they can be mounted on standard cymbal stands, allowing them to respond and resonate naturally without restriction. All cymbals feature dual-edge sensors and profiles that deliver incredible expression without requiring you to change your technique.

Hardware

The backbone of the Strata Club is a curved steel rack that mounts the toms, cymbals and module. It's sturdy yet flexible and enables a spacious but compact footprint so you can set the kit to your ideal playing position. The ARC hi-hats can attach to any hi-hat machine, and the 8" kick pad accepts any single- or double-pedal configuration. Crash and ride cymbals can be mounted on standard cymbal stands and are not confined to the rack mounts.

Hi-Hat

The 12" Active Magnetic Hi-Hat is an exceptionally playable magnetic, machine-mounted system. Like the cymbals, this three-part 360° playing surface is extremely responsive. Magnetic position sensing converts pedal movements at high resolution, so the contactless system is unmatched in accuracy. This module-driven device works with a variety of hi-hat machines and playing techniques.

The Heart of the Strata Club

The centerpiece of the Strata Club is a powerful drum module with a 7" touchscreen display and a potent BFD sound engine running on a multi-core processor. With over 25 GB of content across 75 kits, more than 370 kit parts, over 800 articulations and upwards of 144,000 samples with multiple adjustable microphone channels, you'll find the sounds that suit you. Experiment with the "Stacks" feature to layer articulations and mix individual microphones. Control options include a rotary knob, separate volume controls and Bluetooth 5.0 streaming. Jam creatively with a customizable trigger engine that supports all modern Alesis e-kit triggers, MIDI connectivity and USB storage for sample imports.
