Designed for drummers at any stage and skill level, the Alesis Nitro Ultimate delivers high-quality sound, real-feel response, and modern functionality. Built to be played comfortably in bedrooms and small spaces, this nine-piece electronic kit immerses you in an organic playing experience without the volume of acoustic drums.

Powerful Sound, Authentic Feel, Ultimate Playability

From its movable, stand-mounted hi-hat to responsive dual-zone cymbals and mesh-head drums, the Nitro Ultimate sets a new standard in playability and performance. Tap into the Nitro Ultimate Module for over 640 sounds, including many from the drum software specialists at BFD, and sync up to your phone with Bluetooth connectivity for seamless jamming with your favorite songs and videos.

Whether you're learning, practicing, recording, or performing, the Nitro Ultimate invites you to immerse yourself in a drumming experience like no other.

Movable, Stand-Mounted Hi-Hat

The Nitro Ultimate hi-hat controller is designed to function seamlessly on a traditional hi-hat stand for an authentic, familiar feel. By using your own hi-hat stand, you can play with greater nuance and dynamic control—just like on an acoustic kit—with the comfort and responsiveness of a setup you already know, instead of adapting to an unfamiliar setup or floor pedal.

Dual-Zone Cymbals with Choke

Get the glossy ping of a ride cymbal, the rich wash of an edge, and responsive choke functionality all in a sleek, grooved package. The Nitro Ultimate comes with four 10” cymbals: one ride, two crashes, and a hi-hat with stand-mounted controller.

Dual-Zone Drums with Mesh Heads

The Nitro Ultimate’s dual-zone drums let you play naturally with full expression. This super-responsive technology, used in the kit's three 8" toms and deep 10" snare, allows for more advanced drumming techniques like rimshots. You can also choose to assign different sounds to the rims to add more color and variety to your drumming.

Rugged Steel Rack

The reinforced four-post rack with curved steel bars is both sturdy and immensely adjustable. Whether you're recreating the layout of an acoustic kit or dialing in a custom configuration, the flexible design makes it easy to match your preferred playing style. The rack adjusts effortlessly to accommodate drummers of all sizes, so you can create your perfect setup and play with confidence.
