Hi this Scott Magno aka DJ MadFlip here with UniqueSquared.com to introduce another cool
product for you called the Alesis DM6 Express.
This is a really awesome, compact, portable, electronic drum kit that also can be used
as a controller for your drums that's compatible with every major recording software out there.
Me being a DJ, unfortunately I couldn't do it justice showing it to you so I'm going
to so I'm going to bring in my friend Taylor.
Alright thanks Scott.
So I'm going to run you through some of the functionality of the Alesis DM6.
First thing that we've got is your pads, so we've got your snare pad and your two toms.
The snare pad is cool because you have the ability to not only hit it on the top but
you've got this rim section here and you can apply all sorts of different sounds so if
you want to throw a cowbell or something like that on the rim you can do that, which is
pretty cool.
These pads feel great, they've got this soft rubber feel which is quite different from
other kits which have that hard rubber surface or mesh heads.
So if you want something in between these are great.
You can really stick your stick in there too and it feels like a real drum head.
These cymbals are great I love the pads on them, they're not really too hard but they're
not too soft either, they're just right.
They've got this real nice feel to them and you can adjust the volume on them, like, the
harder you hit it the louder it's going to be and then if you hit it softer you can hear
that as well.
Next let's talk about the pedals, I really like these pedals I mean they're not going
to slide around on you at all.
You can like, lift this high hat pedal up and you can almost see the carpet coming out
from underneath it, it's really cool.
This kick pedal is great too.
What's interesting is that if you want to hook up a double pedal, if you're one of those
players that wants to have two pedals you're totally able to do that.
The pad is even big enough to get both of your pedals on there.
So now let's talk about this module that we've got over here.
First we've got this save feature so if you want to lay down a beat and record it right
into the module, you can do that.
You can always go back and reference it if you're going to use it for multiple drum tracks
or if you just immediately want to record something, a beat that's been flying around
in your head and you've got to get it down you can record it to this thing really easily.
So on the back you have the ability to obviously put your headphones in, you can also put your
mix line in which allows you to hook up your iPod or CD player and you can play along to
all your favorite songs or something you wrote.
Just kind of pop it in and start practicing or recording.
You've also got your USB out, now this is key if you want to start recording and what's
great about it is that it works with almost all software.
So if you like recording with Garageband, Logic, Ableton, or Pro Tools, pretty much
every software is going to work great with it and they've got their own built in drum
tracks on that software.
So if you start getting tired with the Alesis drum sounds and you want to start working
with something in the software, you're totally able to do that and it makes playing really
versatile.
It makes this whole kit awesome, you can just have so many different options for the sounds.
So I'm going to go ahead and play you guys something to just show you what it sounds
like.
This is just a real basic sort of kit.
So there it is the Alesis DM6 Express.
A ridiculously affordable compact kit for beginners, intermediate, and pro's alike.
Also as a controller so you can use it in studio production as well.
