Rank #6 in Best Electronic Drum Kits 2026: 10 Ranked, and Where the Numbers Disagree
Alesis Nitro Pro XL Electric Drum Kit (10-Piece)
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Alesis Nitro Pro XL is the larger of the two Nitro Pro kits in this guide, at £594 against the £517 asked for the 8-piece version. It is a 10-piece mesh kit: a 10-inch dual-zone snare, four 8-inch mesh toms, 10-inch hi-hat, ride and two crashes, and an 8-inch mesh drum tower. It takes sixth place here with 4.5 stars from 106 ratings.
The number that stands out is not the star rating. This listing reports a Best Sellers Rank of 2,581 in Musical Instruments & DJ and 13 in Electronic Drums - the identical rank shown on the cheaper 8-piece Nitro Pro listing. Two different kits, one rank. And £77 buys the extra toms, but the XL still sits 13th in Electronic Drums, behind a Nitro Max at £345 that carries 2,709 ratings. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this kit, not from our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“One of the best if not THE best starter and intermediate kit in the market for the price. Could be 4 stars, just because I played on some better sounding kits in the same criteria BUT 5 stars for me since Alesis make up for it by partnering with BFD. And that for me is my ultimate recommendation for using this kit. Make sure you set up BFD once you get this.”
Verified purchase“Good quality kit with many features.Good enough to use professionally.”
