Alesis Strike Pro SE electronic drum kit

Alesis Strike Pro SE

A four-tom, wood-shell kit with a 20-inch acoustic kick - huge hardware for the money.

Alesis Full kit

The Strike Pro SE is Alesis's flagship, and it loads up on hardware: four wood-shell mesh toms in graduated 8/10/12/14-inch sizes, a real 20-inch acoustic-shell kick drum, and 3-zone rubber cymbals including a 16-inch ride. The Strike module offers deep editing and sampling. It is the most physical, acoustic-like layout you can get near this price - though the hi-hat stand and kick pedal are sold separately.
