Alesis Drum Machines

My favorite thing about the D4 is the ease with which I can get the sound I want. It is also really easy to adjust the volume, tuning, and panning. I would like to congratulate Alesis for doing a great job with the controls on the machine's front panel. Personally, I connect the D4 to my computerized sequencer and use the D4 as a drum module. |

The DM5 needs a bit of personal tweaking and took a couple of months. I changed the settings and eventually got what I wanted. It's like any other music instrument; you have to learn it. With me playing nearly 60 songs a night, and at least 6 days a week. |

The Alesis SR-16 Drum Machine is a good, basic machine which is at its best when contributing to the sound of rock'n'roll. But this isn't the sum total of its music-making capacities. Of course, as the musician, you can explore for yourself and you'll probably be surprised to find out how useful it can be for creating deeper versions of many other beats such as Latin, reggae, pop, and jazz. |
