From Alesis Drums, the all-new Alesis Nitro Ultimate 9-piece electronic drum kit, paired with the Nitro Amp Pro speaker system, delivers a complete practice-to-performance solution that bridges the gap between entry-level and professional electronic drumming.
Electronic drummers have long struggled with hi-hat controllers that don’t deliver authentic dynamics and amplification solutions that either don’t exist or aren’t optimized for electronic drums. The Nitro Ultimate tackles these issues head-on with a 10-inch dual-zone hi-hat cymbal featuring a stand-mounted controller that works with traditional hi-hat stands, delivering the authentic open/closed dynamics that drummers expect. Paired with the dedicated Nitro Amp Pro 80-watt speaker system, this represents the first complete ecosystem solution in this price category.
At the heart of the Nitro Ultimate is an advanced drum module featuring 52 total kits (36 factory + 16 user programmable) and over 640 professionally designed sounds spanning drums, cymbals, percussion, and electronic elements. The comprehensive kit includes BFD Player software with Dark Mahogany Expansion Pack, providing additional high-quality samples that extend the sonic versatility well beyond the price point.

Why This Matters Now: As music education increasingly moves into home environments and space constraints become more common for musicians, the electronic drum market has struggled to deliver solutions that don’t compromise on authentic playing dynamics or require drummers to remain isolated in headphones. The Nitro Ultimate addresses the industry’s long-standing challenge of creating affordable electronic drums that feel natural while providing the amplification infrastructure that allows drummers to progress from bedroom practice to collaborative playing and performance.
