Description
The Alesis Nitro Ultimate XL is a powerful 10-piece electronic drum kit that delivers the feel of acoustic drums with the flexibility and control of a modern e-kit. With expanded toms, larger cymbals and a stand-mounted hi-hat controller, it is designed for drummers who want expressive performance, studio quality sounds and a compact, affordable setup for home, stage or studio.
At the heart of the kit is the Nitro Ultimate XL drum module, loaded with over 640 drum, cymbal, percussion and electronic sounds, plus 52 ready-to-play kits. Whether you are practising, recording or jamming along to your favourite tracks, the combination of responsive mesh pads, multi-zone cymbals and powerful sound engine gives you a highly dynamic and musical playing experience.
Expressive Stand-Mounted Hi-Hat Control
The Nitro Ultimate XL features a 10 inch dual-zone hi-hat cymbal paired with a stand-mounted controller that fits on any traditional hi-hat stand (sold separately). This setup lets you play more natural open, closed and half-open articulations, supporting the nuanced techniques that intermediate and professional drummers rely on. It feels closer to an acoustic hi-hat, making complex grooves and subtle dynamics easier to execute.
Expanded 10-Piece Layout
Building on the popular Nitro Ultimate configuration, the Nitro Ultimate XL adds an extra tom and more playing surface across the kit. You get a 12 inch dual-zone mesh snare, four 10 inch dual-zone mesh toms and an 8 inch mesh kick tower, giving you plenty of pads for creative setups and detailed performances. The larger cymbals, including a 14 inch triple-zone ride and two 12 inch crashes, provide generous playing areas and multiple trigger zones for realistic bell, bow and edge sounds.
Mesh Pads for Acoustic-Like Feel
All drum pads on the Nitro Ultimate XL use tensionable mesh heads, offering a quiet, responsive and highly playable surface. Mesh delivers a more authentic stick rebound compared to rubber pads, helping your technique translate naturally between electronic and acoustic kits. Dual-zone triggering on the snare and toms lets you assign different sounds to head and rim, opening up more expressive options without increasing the footprint of the kit.
Powerful Nitro Ultimate XL Module and Software Bundle
The Nitro Ultimate XL drum module provides 52 kits (36 factory and 16 user) and over 640 sounds, along with essential connectivity including USB MIDI, audio outputs, aux input and headphone output. Bluetooth audio streaming allows you to play along with music wirelessly, while the included software bundle gives you 90 days of Drumeo interactive lessons plus BFD Player with the Core Library and Dark Mahogany Expansion Pack, expanding your sound palette and practice tools straight out of the box.
