Alesis Surge Mesh SE

An affordable all-mesh kit with dual-zone snare and toms - a solid step up from entry rubber kits.

Alesis Full kit

The Surge Mesh SE is Alesis's budget-friendly all-mesh kit, pairing a 10-inch dual-zone snare and three 8-inch dual-zone toms with an 8-inch kick tower and included pedal. The Surge module offers 40 kits and the rack expands for a fourth tom and extra cymbal. Cymbals are basic single-zone pads, but the dual-zone mesh drums make it a capable practice kit for beginners moving toward intermediate.
