ALESIS COMMAND MESH SPECIAL EDITION

Up For Any Battle

The Alesis Command Mesh kit Special Edition 8-piece Electronic Drumkit is an electronic drum kit designed for serious players. To start, it features large mesh drum pads that feel natural and respond like acoustic drums. In addition, the cymbals are sturdy and expressive, offering choke functionality on both the crash and ride. At the same time, the Command Advanced Drum Module sits at the heart of the kit, packed with hundreds of classic and modern sounds. Moreover, you can load your own samples via USB and record directly to the module. Finally, everything mounts to a premium four-post rack, giving you a complete setup that’s ready to play out of the box.

Mesh drumheads provide the most authentic feel, and as a result, the Command Mesh Special Edition takes full advantage of that. The 10” snare and 8” tom pads are dual-zone, which means you can trigger two sounds per pad. This way, you can perform rim-shots or add percussion voices that expand your creativity. Furthermore, the 8” kick pad is durable and works perfectly with the included pedal—or even a double pedal if you prefer. Meanwhile, the cymbal set includes a 10” crash with choke, a 10” ride with choke, and a 10” hi-hat with expressive foot control.

Command Advanced Drum Module

The Command Module ensures your playing always sounds professional. To begin with, it offers 74 drum kits and 671 sounds across multiple genres. Additionally, many of these are multi-sampled, so your dynamics translate naturally. In other words, the harder or softer you play, the sound changes realistically. As a result, drum rolls and subtle touches feel organic rather than artificial.

Creative Control

Beyond the included sounds, you can import your own samples via USB. This means it’s easy to design custom kits that match your style. Not only that, but you can also record performances—five tracks internally or up to 99 with a USB drive. On top of this, the USB/MIDI connection lets you integrate with your favorite DAW or VST instruments for unlimited creative potential.

High-Quality Hardware and Accessories

Everything you need comes in the box. The kit includes a cable snake, drumsticks, and a drum key, along with an Alesis kick pedal and hi-hat controller. Even better, all components mount securely to a four-post rack that holds up under heavy playing. When finished, you can fold the rack for easy storage, so it’s perfect for bedrooms, studios, or practice spaces.
