Customisable response for every style
The Alesis Strata Core’s all-mesh heads are fully adjustable, giving drummers the flexibility to fine-tune the tension to suit their playing style. This allows for a highly responsive experience, mimicking the feel of acoustic drums. The patented anti-hotspot sensor design ensures even strike response, so you can play with confidence and precision across the entire surface without worrying about inconsistencies.
Realistic cymbal interaction
ARC cymbals offer triple-zone functionality, capturing strikes on the bell, bow, and edge. The 360-degree design means they respond naturally, no matter where you play on the cymbal. Combined with dual-edge sensors, these cymbals provide a dynamic and expressive range, perfect for techniques like cymbal chokes and swells. They’re mounted on standard acoustic arms, ensuring freedom of movement and a natural playing feel.
Powerful sound module and extensive library
Equipped with a 7inch touchscreen and the BFD sound engine, the Strata Core’s drum module offers a deep, customisable sound experience. With 75 factory kits, over 370 kit pieces, and 144,000 samples, you have endless options to shape your sound. The module supports multiple adjustable microphone channels, ensuring you capture the nuances of every hit. Bluetooth and MIDI capabilities also make it simple to connect with other devices for expanded control and streaming options.
Compact and durable setup
The Strata Core’s steel rack is designed for stability and flexibility. Its curved shape allows for a compact footprint, making it ideal for home studios or tight performance spaces. The rack securely supports all drums and cymbals while offering easy adjustability, letting you set up your kit exactly how you prefer without compromising on sturdiness.
