Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Alesis Nitro Pro is an 8-piece electronic drum kit with mesh heads, listed at £517.00 with a 4.5 out of 5 rating from 409 customer ratings. It takes second place in this round-up, sitting behind the cheaper Nitro Max at £345 — the kit with 2,709 ratings against this one's 409.
The number worth stopping on is the Best Sellers Rank on this listing: 2,581 in Musical Instruments & DJ, and 13 in Electronic Drums. The 10-piece Nitro Pro XL at £594 displays the same two figures, and one rank cannot describe two different kits. The same listing also shows a star breakdown of 4, 3, 3, 13 and 77, which adds up to 100 rather than the 409 ratings stated just above it. Every figure on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it was published, not from any testing we carried out.
