Alesis Surge Mesh Kit

Gearank Recommended

The Surge Mesh Kit first appeared on our recommended list for Electronic Drum Sets Under $500 in May 2018 where it remained until October 2019.

It reappeared on our recommended list for Electronic Drum Sets Under $1000 in April 2020 where it remains today.

Overview

The Alesis Surge Mesh Kit is a complete drum kit with 5 drum pads, 3 cymbal pads, drum stand and accessories, including both the kick and hi-hat pedals, and drum sticks.

What's even better is that the drum pads have two zones, and you can tighten or loosen the mesh to your preference - and it does all these while retaining an entry level price point.

As for the drum module, it comes with 385 different drum and percussion sounds, along with 24 different kit sounds.

Other features include 60 play-along practice tracks, MIDI connection via USB, and an Aux input for playing along with your favorite tracks.

All in all, the Alesis Surge Mesh Kit is a great buy for what it can do, a great first, even second drum kit for those with budget and noise limitations.

If you're looking for something a little cheaper, then take a look at our recommendations for Electronic Drum Sets Under $500.
