The Alesis Nitro Ultimate is a nine-piece electronic drum kit with mesh heads, a stand-mounted movable hi-hat controller, three 10-inch dual-zone cymbals with choke, and a module with Bluetooth and BFD drum sounds. It sits at number 9 in this guide at £666.00, with 4.2 out of 5 from 35 ratings and a Best Sellers Rank of 59 in Amazon's Electronic Drums chart.

The kit's own listing is where the numbers stop agreeing. The Item Highlight promises a 10-inch snare and 8-inch toms. The Included Components list underneath names a 10-inch tom-tom, an 8-inch tom-tom and a 6-inch tom-tom, a subwoofer no other kit in this round-up mentions, and no snare pad at all. On ratings it also runs against the cheaper Alesis Nitro Max at £345, which carries 2,709 ratings and sits 1st in the same Electronic Drums chart. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for the Nitro Ultimate — price, rating, rank, specification and review text — and not from any testing we carried out.

## Questions people ask

**Does the Alesis Nitro Ultimate come with a snare pad?**

The listing contradicts itself here. The Item Highlight names a 10-inch snare, while the Included Components list names a 10-inch tom-tom, an 8-inch tom-tom, a 6-inch tom-tom and a subwoofer, with no snare pad listed.

**What is the Alesis Nitro Ultimate's Best Sellers Rank?**

The Amazon listing records 59 in Electronic Drums and 14,281 in Musical Instruments & DJ.

**How many kits and sounds does the Nitro Ultimate module have?**

The listing states 52 kits and over 640 sounds custom-made for the Nitro Ultimate module, including many from the drum software specialists at BFD.

**Do I need anything else to play the Alesis Nitro Ultimate?**

The stand-mounted movable hi-hat works with traditional hi-hat stands, which the listing says are sold separately. A reviewer adds that a hi-hat stand and a drum stool have to be bought separately, and that the included sticks are a cheap pair to get started.

The listing gives 26.3 kg, dimensions of 45.1 x 135 x 139.9 centimetres, and a 12-month manufacturer warranty.
