Alesis Strata Core drum kit

A dual-zone snare drum with independent sounds triggered on the head, rim click, and rim shot, followed by 8”/8”/10” toms and an 8” kick drum provides ample playing surface, suitable for all varieties of single and double kick drum pedals. The tension can be adjusted on all mesh heads, letting you set the exact level of rebound and expressiveness to your preference. Unnatural and unwanted ‘hotspots’ on the heads are eliminated with our unique patented anti-hotspot sensor design.

ARC Cymbal

Strata Core’s ARC cymbals are exceptionally sensitive with a beautifully lathed surface. All three cymbals – the 14” ride and two 12” crashes – are triple-zone with different sounds triggered on the bell, bow, and edge of each cymbal. They’re all 360-degree responsive, so that you can play anywhere throughout the cymbal and mount on standard acoustic arm mounts, which allows them to respond and swing naturally without restrictions. All cymbals have dual-edge sensors (patent pending) and profiles that allow incredible expressiveness without having to adjust your technique.
