The mesh head snare and tom pads sport dual-zone triggering for expressive play and each cymbal features choke response for realistic cymbal muting. The Surge drum module is easy to use and provides comprehensive I/O including a 3.5mm headphone output for monitoring your playing, a 3.5mm aux input for playing to external tracks, full MIDI compatibility over DIN cable or USB, extra 1/4 inputs for an optional fourth tom or second crash, and dual 1/4 line outputs for stereo or mono feeds of your playing to any mixer, PA system, interface, or speaker.

Surge Drum Module

The Surge Drum Module comes complete with 40 classic and modern ready-to-play kits. You can easily tweak any existing kit, or create your own using the 385 inspiring drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds built into the module. The backlit LCD screen makes navigation a breeze. Drum and cymbal buttons are arranged to resemble the layout of a traditional kit, so it s simple to assign sounds and create kits quickly. There are also learning features like 60 play-along music tracks and a metronome to help build timing and accuracy. There s a built-in aux input, so you can plug in a phone or tablet to play along with your favorite songs.

Quiet Mesh Drum Pads and Premium Cymbals

Experienced drummers know that mesh drumheads are exceptionally quiet and offer the most natural playing experience on an electronic kit. The Surge Mesh Special Edition features large pads with tightly woven mesh drumheads for maximum playability. There s a 10 snare pad, three 8 tom pads, and an 8 mesh kick drum pad-all built to last. The kick-drum pad has a large surface area that plays great with the included kick pedal but also easily fits a double pedal for when it s time to upgrade. For cymbals there s a 10 crash and 10 ride that both mute when grabbed and a 10 hi-hat with an expressive foot control pedal.

Ready to Play, Right Away

The Surge Mesh Special Edition includes everything you need to start playing drums right away - a cable snake, drumsticks, and drum key are all included. There s also a high-quality single-beater Alesis kick pedal, and an expressive hi-hat control pedal. The drum pads, cymbals, and module all mount to a four-post rack that stands firm no matter how hard you play. You can even fold the rack up for easy storage, perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, playrooms, or any other area where space is limited.
