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.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Expressive pads





The Turbo Mesh Kit's 8" mesh snare and toms transition naturally from a whispered piano to a mighty fortissimo, while its smooth-action bass controller gives you the feeling of control, dynamics, and impact underfoot. Add to these a stable 10" crash, an expressive 10" ride, and a fast-action 10" hi-hat with foot controller, and, with the Turbo Mesh Kit from Sweetwater, you'll have no trouble finding your footing in the eDrum world of music creation.





Tuneable mesh heads





Whether you come from a drum set or marching background, or even if you're just starting out, you'll get the response you're after in the Alesis Turbo Mesh Kit. The tunable, tightly woven mesh heads allow players to customize rebound and sensitivity for a custom playing response. The heads themselves are significantly quieter than traditional drum pads, permitting after-hours practice that won't bother your neighbors or loved ones.





Folding steel stand





The Turbo Mesh Kit's quality steel rack stand folds up neatly for convenient bedroom storage.





10 kits. 120 sounds.





Garage rock to metal, jazz to hip-hop, the Alesis Turbo Mesh Kit has you covered for sounds. Switch between 10 full drum sets using the convenient onboard buttons, or create your own grooves using the module's 120 built-in sounds.





Integrated practice tools





Apart from its playability and sounds, the Turbo Mesh Kit really excels when it comes to practice tools.





Metronome ? An integrated metronome with programmable "click" sounds, time signatures, and tempos (30-280 BPM) allow you to 'shed and shred without structured accompaniment.


Drum coach ? Five onboard drum exercises help you build stamina, develop groove, and hone your sense of timing.


Melodics ? Included with your Turbo Mesh Kit are 40 free lessons from Melodics, easily accessible from your laptop or mobile device.
