ok i, like my name says am a newbie at the edrum kit game, here it goes, and sorry if this is a dumb question. What is the importance of a usb connection.
It allows a user to connect it to their PC/MAC so they can take advantage of drum VSTi’s and/or record the midi data that is sent.
looks like this is Alesis version of the Simmons SD7PK e kit.
No, it is not the same. The module is very different and Simmons/Medeli doesn’t have a three zone snare.
I bought the DM7, and I am really enjoying it, however, there is no “how to” manual. Does anyone out there know of a better instruction manual on how to use and access the features that it has?
Thanks
For some strange reason alesis hasn’t put out the full blown manual yet. I don’t know why. I would keep checking the alesis website for time to time to see if they release a full blown manual. You could also try going to DMdrummer.com. It is a fan forum site for alesis edrum users. There is a lot of good info there and a few of them do use a DM7 kit. I hope that helps.
