Alesis Strata Prime E-Drum Kit
In mid-March 2024, Alesis unexpectedly announced a new kit in the higher price segment.
It turned out to be a very advanced kit with a powerful sound module, 3 cymbals, 4 toms and a real-size bass drum: The Alesis Strata Prime.
Full size cymbals and toms
The Alesis Strata Prime is a very eye-catching kit that comes equipped with 2 x 16" crashes, an 18" ride and 14" hi-hat. All these cymbals can be played 360 degrees around and can therefore move freely.
The kit consists of no fewer than 4 toms (8″, 10″, 12″ and 14″) and a 14″ snare. The kick drum is also full size and gives a nice appearance thanks to the acoustic look.
Is this setup still not enough for you? Good news: the kit can be expanded with 2 extra cymbals and 1 extra tom.

Hi-hat controller with Active Magnet
A common problem with electronic drum sets is the hi-hat, which does not always register sounds optimally, to the annoyance of many drummers.
Alesis has innovated in this with the Alesis Strata Prime by using the Active Magnet function, where the controller opens and closes realistically thanks to a magnet and optimally transmits the sounds to the module.
Powerful module with Bluetooth
The heart of the Alesis Strata Prime is the PRIME Drum Module, which is next level compared to other drum modules. The module has an interface comparable to an iPad and is very easy to operate.
The number of self-configurable kits is unlimited, which is unique compared to other modules on the market. The BFD sound engine offers endless sounds and possibilities to create the perfect sound.
Sleek design
All in all, the kit is finished with a sleek design that comes close to an acoustic drum kit. The shells of the snare and toms are shallower than those of the Alesis Strike Pro, the predecessor of the Alesis Strata Prime.
