Depending on who you ask, the biggest hurdle to getting into drumming is either cost or space. If either of these has prevented you from trying your hand at the drums, this Sweetwater bundle is for you. It's based around the Alesis Turbo Mesh Electronic Drum set, capable of handling and delivering countless drum kits, sounds, practice tracks, sampling, and DAW compatibility. The included closed-back headphones are designed to deliver premium sound with comfortable, cushioned earpads, perfect for prolonged use behind the kit. The drum throne is well suited for lighter-weight drummers and students. Thanks to the On-Stage Stands non-slip drum mat, you have the freedom to set up shop wherever is needed. This 6x4-foot mat comes with tie straps and a nylon/mesh carry bag, making transportation compact and convenient. Finally, top-choice wood tip drumsticks ensure you're ready to play right out of the box!

Alesis Turbo Mesh Electronic Drum Set


Sells separately for $299.00





It's unbelievable what $300 gets you today. The Alesis Turbo Mesh Kit is a complete electronic drum set with mesh heads, MIDI over USB, and integrated practice tools that retails for just shy of three notes. And whether you're in the market for a whisper-quiet practice kit that tucks into the tiniest corner office, a responsive virtual instrument controller for your studio, or just a killer entry point to the world of electronic drums and percussion, you simply can't go wrong with the Turbo Mesh Kit from Sweetwater. We found the tuneable 8" mesh pads and 10" cymbals to be fast and responsive plugged into the included module or interfaced with a DAW. The steel rack stand and pad mounts are rugged, lightweight, and easy to set up. Best of all, the whole kit folds down to the size of a card table when you need to reclaim the space.

On-Stage DMA6450 Non-Slip Drum Mat - 6 x 4 foot


Sells separately for $59.95





The On-Stage Stands DMA6450 helps keep your kit from sliding across a wood stage or concrete floor while you play. This lightweight and space-conscious drum mat is made from a soft PVC material ? which sort of resembles a yoga mat ? that grips floors while protecting surfaces from rocking stands and creeping bass drum spurs. This mat does a great job of staying flat once you perch your kit upon it, with corners that resist rolling up even straight out of storage. And thanks to its 6-foot x 4-foot footprint, you've got ample room for kitting up a standard 5-piece drum set and a couple cymbals. This mat is great for stationary drum setups in studios, basements, and gymnasiums. But what really sets the On-Stage DMA6450 apart is its portability. With the included tie straps and nylon/mesh carry bag, this mat takes up very little space in the back of a sedan and slings easily over a shoulder for carting to the stage. Drummers at Sweetwater consider the On-Stage Stands DMA6450 to be an essential for mobile drum setups. And when you consider its price compared to other drum rugs and bass drum anchors, it's pretty much a no-brainer.
