Alesis Drum Modules.....

I know they make two different kinds.. the DM-5 and the DM-Pro. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the differences between the two and if they are worth buying. THanks

Ok, Don't own either. But I checked the site and came up with the following:

DM5

18 BIT
12 Trigger Inputs
540 Built in Samples
4 Audio Outs (2 Stereo Pairs)
16 Voice Polyphony
21 Drum Kit Locations
Retail $499.00 (349.99 Street Price)

DMPRO

20 Bit
16 Trigger Inputs
1664 Built in Samples (Expandable Via PCMCIA Cards)
6 Independent Audio Outs (Assignable)
64 Voice Polyphony
64 Drum Kit Locations
Retail $899.00 (699.00 Street Price).

A couple of things. You will need some sort of interface to work well with one of these. Another drum machine with Midi Capabilities, a Computer with Midi, Keyboard, Electronic Drum Kit, etc. I used to sell the DM5 when it first came out. It worked well and had some good sounds. What are you going to be using it for? Hope that helps.

que onda Fangar!!
hello.

What about using one of these
with an acoustic drum triguer
for some FEAR FACTORY kicks???

do you recomend one of this to improve the sound of the kick?
maybe it can help for some quik recordings.

Hey guys,

These things would be great for that. Similar to the Roland ones that are made for triggering. Eventually, I am going to get something similar with about 6 triggers to make a simple electronic drum kit for recording. I play drums a bit, but obvioulsy don't want a full acoustic set due to noise. I worked with a guy who had a Roland set up and added Techno sounds to his acoustic kit. Was cool.
