Alesis Strike MultiPad 5-stars Reviews

Dream machine

So many features. This thing is BEAST! It has ONE flaw. You cannot maintain a loop while switching kits. So you need to custom each kit. The pad allows for this feature in plenty. As an improv drummer I need to be able to jump around. This ONE feature is not a reason not to buy this item. In fact it's a testament for anyone looking to jump into E-drums/Pad. This is the one tool you'll need for years.

Excellent sampler

A good, responsive device, very flexible in configuration, not demanding on the format of samples. I am very happy with the purchase! There are disadvantages in using the device - there is no software for downloading samples and editing the configuration on the computer. In this, Alesis seriously loses to the Roland sampler.

If you don't have enough money for Roland this is the best option. For me personally even better than Roland

Very decent

Was great for getting down drum parts in the studio and the library of sounds is immense. One quibble is they might’ve offered more variety of kits

The perfect pad...

It is the best buy I mad the last three years!!!

Better than SPD SX

I have used this for more than 2 years now. The sounds have amazing quality. I would recommend this over a Roland for a number of reasons. It does everything a Roland does and it has better sounds. I very often just chill out playing this along with my electronic drum kit.

An amazing piece of gear

Bought at the beginning of the year this after some consideration, since what I really wanted an e-drum set, but had some unavoidable space constraints.

I'm not a drummer (let's get that out of the way) and just wanted to have a canvas for making some percussive arrangements and laying out basic beats, but the Alesis Strike Multipad goes well above and beyond that.

The pads themselves are very (and I mean very) robust and durable, this thing takes a beating nearly every other day and I'm yet to find any dents or hit marks on the pads.

The sound banks already installed are very good indeed, but for me the Strike Multipad shines when you use it to trigger VST samples and external midi gear, it's pure joy.

Haven't used the onboard sampler yet, it's next on the list.

All in all, I highly recommend if you're looking for an easy and intuitive way to lay out beats and drum tracks.

PROS:

Intuitive interface, easy to setup, ample use scenarios, amazing pads.

CONS:

None so far.
