Alesis Strata Core

Thursday October 24, 2024. 05:24 AM , from AudioTechnology
Alesis Drums announced the launch of the Strata Core; the newest addition to the Strata Series family of electronic drum kits. The Strata Core is designed for drummers seeking professional-grade performance in a more compact format, offering the same advanced features as its larger sibling, the Strata Prime, but at a more approachable price point and a 30% reduced footprint overall.
With uncompromising sound quality via its BFD sound engine, ultra-responsive mesh heads, triple-zone ARC cymbals, and a 7” touch screen module, the Strata Core delivers everything intermediate and professional drummers need for practice or performance without the bulk or cost of larger kits. The Core is the ideal solution for home or studio use, packed with features that punch well above its weight class.
“We designed the Strata Core with the modern drummer in mind, offering professional-grade performance in a more accessible, compact format,” John Boudreau, Director of Product Management. “The goal was to deliver everything drummers love about the Strata series—incredible sound quality, responsive playability, and world-class technology. We want to make it easier for musicians to practice and perform anywhere.”
Compact Design, Powerful Performance
The Strata Core offers a perfect balance between the feel of acoustic drumming and cutting-edge electronic performance. Featuring dual-zone drums with premium mesh heads and 360-degree responsive ARC cymbals, the Core provides drummers with a professional-grade setup in a smaller footprint, perfect for home studios or smaller spaces. At the heart of the kit is the Strata Core Drum Module, powered by the legendary BFD engine and a 7-inch touchscreen that simplifies kit navigation, sound customization, and performance editing.
With over 75 customizable kits, 370+ kit pieces, 800+ articulations, and 144,000+ samples with multiple adjustable microphone channels, drummers can tailor their sound for any style or setting, whether they are practicing, recording, or performing. The module’s intuitive interface makes tweaking kits effortless, empowering users to adapt creatively without limitations.
Designed for the Modern Drummer
For the professional drummer, whether in the studio or on stage, the Strata Core provides seamless integration with advanced I/O capabilities and Bluetooth 5.0 for streaming and connectivity. Its customizable kits ensure that drummers can create kits to match any style or environment, making it an essential tool for both recording and live performance. Additionally, drummers can enjoy a 90-day membership to Drumeo, the leading online platform for drum education, offering lessons from top-tier professionals. Users can take advantage of the included BFD Player desktop application and virtual drum expansion pack, integrating the kit into any DAW-based environment for recording or producing.
