Our Verdict:

The first thing about the Alesis DM6 Drum Kit that will impress you is how the modular set-up works. Everything can be positioned according to your specification and feel. You can actually put each piece where you would want it, so it works for both right-handed and left-handed players. You simply need to position each piece on the rack where you want it and a second clamp gives you leverage on angle adjustments.

The Alesis DM6 Kit puts electronic drums within easy reach with its street price. Normally electric drum sets that come under this price range are consider a toy, but this can’t be said for the Alesis DM6. It makes a great entry level or practice kit for kids and starters and assures you lots of fun jamming and learning with its incredible features. As stated above in the opening paragraph, this kit has earned a great reputation and is definitely consider one of the best drum sets in the marketplace today.

Customer Feedback:

“If you are new to drumming this would be a great first set. But if you are and experienced drummer on a tight budget you will not be disappointed as long as you aren’t expecting the DM6 to be a Roland Pro high end drum kit. The bottom line is this is the best $500 (street price) electronic drum set ever made.” – Actual User Review

“I wouldn’t recommend this set to a touring performance drummer…it seems too flimsy to be tearing down frequently…but as a “set it up in one place forever and play it” kit, this one’s decent enough. It fits in small spaces without feeling small when you’re playing it. In comparison to the Roland and Yamaha kits, it’s a great value for the money and will fit the basic needs of many drummers just fine. I’ve been playing mine regularly for a couple of months now and find it quite enjoyable.” – Actual User Review

“I’ve had my Alesis DM6 drum set up and running for a couple days and I must say I am pleasantly surprised. Up until now any electronic drum set in the $500 range was nothing more than a toy.” - Actual User Review
