The Alesis Strike Pro is an electronic drum kit that gives drummers a luxury playing experience with a lower price tag.

I wanted a quiet set of e drums that still felt like acoustic drums. I settled on the Strike.

For those curious, I only own the regular Strike kit, but it's virtually identical to the Pro version without the extra tom pad and cymbals. I chose to use Strike Pro for the search term as to not confuse the algorithms with the Strike Multipad.

The Strike plays well but does suffer from quite a few issues. There is lots of setup and tweaking required for a great experience. VST instruments do not play well with the module, and the hi-hat has quite a few flaws.

The video is quite lengthy, so I've listed a few points you can jump to if you'd rather see only individual sections:

Protecting your pads: 12:07 (this may be unnecessary with Generation 2 kits, like mine)
Preset demos begin at 13:35 (straight out of the box presets)
My verdict: 23:34
