Alesis Strata Prime

A touchscreen flagship with BFD sounds and full-size ARC cymbals - Alesis aiming at the top tier.

Alesis Full kit

The Strata Prime is Alesis's flagship, built around a touchscreen module loaded with BFD 3 sounds and a generous all-mesh pad set. It pairs a 14-inch snare and graduated 8/10/12/14-inch toms with large ARC cymbals - two 16-inch triple-zone crashes and an 18-inch ride that play 360 degrees. With Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and 13 trigger inputs, it is a modern, deeply expandable kit that undercuts the premium Roland flagships.
