Definitely not a toy

With the Alesis Debut Kit, the American manufacturer has designed an e-drum set that, thanks to its compact design and low setup height, is aimed specifically at the youngest beginner drummers. The technical features hardly differ from the "big" Alesis kits. 10 drum kits, 30 play-along tracks, and a lot of practice functions ensure long-lasting playing fun. To enable the youngsters to start drumming right away, the scope of delivery includes a drum stool, headphones, and a pair of drumsticks. The module also offers the option of accessing 60 free exercises via USB connection using the "Melodics" app.

Pro features in a compact format

The Alesis Debut Kit offers an easy introduction to the world of drumming for very little money. Outstanding features include low-noise, joint-friendly mesh head pads and a module with 10 drum kits, which include realistic recreations of acoustic drums as well as electronic and percussion kits. While the module offers 30 songs for playing along, it is also possible, for example, to connect a smartphone via the AUX input in order to drum along to your personal favourite songs. Space-saving foot switches are available for the hi-hat and bass drum functions. As with a professional e-drum set, all of the components are attached to a stable yet lightweight drum rack, which can be easily transported by one person.

Practice makes perfect

For children in particular, drums are still very popular when it comes to learning an instrument, and while a good selection of acoustic drum sets for children is now available, good-sounding and practical e-drum sets for children are still hard to find. Or at least they have been until now, because the Alesis Debut Kit has everything a child starting to play drums needs: A complete e-drum set with four flexibly positionable drum pads, two foot controllers, two cymbal pads, and a hi-hat. Additionally, the package includes a child-sized stool, headphones, and a pair of drumsticks.

About Alesis

Alesis was founded in 1984 by Keith Barr in Hollywood, California, and has become one of the leading manufacturers of signal processors, drum machines, synthesizers, and other studio equipment. The company’s most successful products during its early years were the MIDIverb, the HR-16 drum machine, and the ADAT multitrack digital recorders. In 2001, Alesis was acquired by Numark owner Jack O’Donnell and is now part of his InMusic parent company alongside brands like AKAI, Denon, and many other well-known names in the audio manufacturing industry. Alesis has also been a major player in the field of e-drums for many years and offers a large choice of products in all price ranges.

The quiet alternative to an acoustic drum set

When buying the first musical instrument for a child, most parents don’t want to spend too much money - after all, you can never tell how long the initial euphoria will last. Still, they want to have the feeling that they have bought a real instrument and not a toy. The Alesis Debut Kit meets both criteria. It is affordable and can definitely hold its own against a regular e-drum set, as it offers the same sound quality, the only difference being that it comes in a more compact, child-friendly format. The low height enables even children as young as four to sit down on a "real" drum set and drum away. And unlike an acoustic drum kit, an e-drum set has a volume control, which will be particularly appreciated by parents and neighbours.

Perfect for first time drummer
steveij 28.05.2021
Bought for 7yr old, does the job. I like the stand and drumheads are excellent, also great getting the throne and sticks for first time drummer. Amazing to get midi out so despite the unit being a bit hard to use, you can just plug into a PC and do Melodics lessons or whatever, and get different sounds assigned to each drum.

Very good quality by Alesis!
The Grinder. 12.07.2023
So lets begin. The Alesis Debut Kit, is a mini drum kit suitable for kids but of course not only. If you are a beginner though, personally I would not recommend because everything are smaller. The feet are literally in the middle of the kit and if you are a bit taller the knees are higher than the snare and the bass kick. Not practical at all. The immediate next problem are the pedals, hi-hat and bass kick. The bass kick doesn't exist at all but only a tiny pedal and the same same goes for the hi-hat. This makes control very difficult when playing. However, the quality is perfect and they don't take up much space, you can put them anywhere!

Brauchbares Einsteiger E-Drum-Set
DarkDonald 07.02.2021
Erstmal Danke an Thomann: Wie immer schnelle, gut verpackte Lieferung.

Positiv:
Dieses Drumkit ist für Einsteiger realativ gut geeignet. Die Mesh-Heads lassen sich gut und realistisch bespielen. Die Haptik ist einer echten Trommel recht ähnlich. Auch die verschiedenen Sounds des Drummoduls können überzeugen. Ob man jetzt unbedingt einen Techno-Bass-Sound und weihnachtliche Schlitten-Klänge braucht, lassen wir mal dahin gestellt. Die 'normalen' Drumsounds klingen jedenfalls gut.

Die Anbindung über USB-Midi an den PC läuft ebenfalls sehr gut und ohne merkliche Latenzen. Man kann problemlos Drum-VST (z.B. ezDummer) ansteuern. Zusammen mit einer DAW ergeben sich eine Menge zusätzliche Möglichkeiten wie z.B. Recording. Auch kleinere Probleme wie bei einigen anderen günstigen Drum-Kits, wie ein fehlender Midi-Off-Befehl sind hier kein Thema.

Man sollte Bedenken, dass dieses Kit wegen der kleinen Höhe in erster Linie für Kinder gedacht ist. Die Heads sind ausreichend groß, aber der gesamte Rahmen/Gestell ist ziemlich niedrig. Für einen Erwachsenen ist es durchaus schwierig eine einigermaßen brauchbare Sitzposition zu finden.

Negativ:
Der Rahmen ist nicht besonders stabil. Die einzelnen Heads bekommt man nicht zu 100% festgeschraubt, da alle Halterungen aus Plastik bestehen. Das ist kein großes Problem. Man muss nur nach einer Weile die Module wieder gerade rücken.

Der mitgelieferte 'Drum-Hocker' ist ein Witz. Dieser ist SEHR billig und klapperig verarbeitet. Er lässt sich nicht vernünftig arretieren, eine Höhenverstellung gibt auch nicht. Hier ist selbst eine umgedrehte Bierkiste bequemer und sicherer.

Noch übler sind die beiden 'Pedale' für Bass und Hi-Hat. Diese haben mit Pedalen eigtl. nichts zu tun. Es sind im Prinzip nur 2 mit Gummi überzogene Plastik-Schalen. Es gibt also keine "Rückmeldung" wie bei einem echten Pedal. Auch elektrisch sind die Pedale sehr grenzwertig. Es kommt oft zu Doppel-/Dreifach-Erkennung.

Nun zu meinem größten Kritik-Punkt: Der "Service" von Alesis.
In der Packung wird von Alesis groß beworben, dass eine super Lernsoftware Software enthalten ist. Man müsse sich nur bei Alesis mit der Seriennummer des Kits registrieren und kann dann schon die Software herunterladen. So weit so gut... Das war erstmal unmöglich, da bei der Registrierung dieses "Debut-Kit" in der Auswahlliste schlicht nicht vorhanden war. Der Alesis-Support hat dann "nur" 6 Wochen gebraucht um die Liste zu aktualisieren.
Leider war dann eine Registrierung immer noch nicht möglich, da die Seriennummer als falsch erkannt wurde. Wieder Kontakt zum "Support": Einige Wochen (!) später hat die Registrierung dann endlich geklappt.

Die beworbene "Software" besteht nur einigen Drum-Kursen für das Programm "Melodics". Dieses kann sich jeder frei herunterladen und ist nur eine Testversion, die pro Tag nur 5 Minuten(!) nutzbar ist. Für weitere Nutzung ist eine monatliches Abo fällig (12.49$ mtl). Eigtl ein schönes Programm zum lernen, aber NICHT für diesen Preis...

FAZIT:
Für Einsteiger (Kinder) durchaus brauchbares Kit mit einem guten Klang und guter Bespielbarkeit, wenn man mal von den "Pedalen" absieht. Die Stabilität könnte besser sein, ist aber auch nicht wirklich schlecht.

Der Alesis-"Support" ist mit Abstand der mieseste Kundenservice, den ich je erleben durfte. Absolut unfreundlich, inkompetent, unfähig die einfachsten Anfragen korrekt zu beantworten und extrem langsam...

Ich werde aus diesem Grund in Zukunft einen großen Bogen um Alesis machen...
