The Strata Core: An Pro-Level E-Kit at an Unbelievable Value

The Strata Core is a professional-grade electronic drum kit that exceeds expectations, rivaling higher-priced alternatives with larger footprints. Experience superior sound quality and realistic playability in this powerful yet compact addition to the Strata line.

Every aspect of the Alesis Strata Core has been meticulously designed to provide a responsive and natural experience for both intermediate and experienced drummers. The all-mesh drumheads feature adjustable tension, while the 360-degree ARC cymbals move freely, simulating the behavior of acoustic cymbals. The Active Magnetic hi-hat ensures precise, crisp control.

The compact drum sizes make the Strata Core perfect for studio setups, conserving space without sacrificing playability. The dual-zone mesh toms offer a realistic feel, supported by a sturdy curved steel rack with reinforced mounts. The 12” dual-zone mesh snare and 12” hi-hat provide a familiar and satisfying response, while the 8” mesh kick is ideal for both single and double kick pedals, ensuring comfort and playability from the first hit.

Module

At the core of the Strata Core is a powerful drum module, equipped with a 7” touchscreen display and a robust BFD sound engine powered by a multi-core processor. With over 25GB of content, including 75 kits, 370+ kit pieces, 800+ articulations, and 144,000+ samples with adjustable microphone channels, you’ll have everything you need to create your ideal sound. Explore the "stacks" function to layer articulations and mix individual microphone channels to your preference.

Control options are versatile, featuring rotary encoders, individual volume knobs, and Bluetooth 5.0 streaming. The customizable trigger engine supports all modern Alesis E-kit triggers, offers full MIDI connectivity, and includes USB storage for importing your own samples, giving you limitless creative possibilities.

Powered by a multi-core processor, the module runs the renowned BFD sound engine—an extensive library of drum kits, meticulously recorded by top engineers in world-class drum recording studios.

The Strata Core ships with four sound libraries:

Alesis Core Acoustic - a huge collection of drum sounds recorded at Powerstation Studios in New England
BFD Dark Farm – an all-acoustic rock expansion pack from the BFD team
Alesis Core Electronic - the best of the Alesis Strike Multipad one-shot electronic drum sounds that are great for layering over acoustic drum samples
BFD Percussion - a diverse collection of percussion sounds across BFD’s classic percussion packs

Drums

A dual-zone snare drum with independent sounds triggered on the head, rim click, and rim shot, followed by 8”/8”/10” toms and an 8” kick drum provides ample playing surface, suitable for all varieties of single and double kick drum pedals. The tension can be adjusted on all mesh heads, letting you set the exact level of rebound and expressiveness to your preference. Unnatural and unwanted ‘hotspots’ on the heads are eliminated with Alesis's unique patented anti-hotspot sensor design (U.S. Patent 9,424,827)

ARC Cymbals

Strata Core’s ARC cymbals are exceptionally sensitive with a beautifully lathed surface. All three cymbals - the 14” ride and two 12” crashes - are triple-zone with different sounds triggered on the bell, bow, and edge of each cymbal. They’re all 360-degree responsive, so that you can play anywhere throughout the cymbal and mount on standard acoustic arm mounts, which allows them to respond and swing naturally without restrictions. All cymbals have dual-edge sensors (patent pending) and profiles that allow incredible expressiveness without having to adjust your technique.

The 12” Active Magnetic hi-hat is a superbly playable magnetic, stand-mounted system. Like the cymbals, this triple-zone 360-degree playing surface is extremely responsive. Magnetic position sensing ensures that pedal movements are translated in high resolution, meaning the contactless system is unmatched in its accuracy. This module-powered unit can be used with a wide variety of hi-hat stands and playing techniques.

Rack System & Hardware

The backbone of Strata Core is a curved steel rack where the toms, cymbals and module are mounted. Sturdy but flexible, it allows for spacious and compact footprints so you can adjust the kit
to your ideal playing position for your setup. The ARC hi-hats mount to any hi-hat stand, and the 8”
kick tower can accommodate any single or double pedal configuration. Crash and ride cymbals can be mounted to standard acoustic cymbal stands and are not bound to the rack mounts.

PLEASE NOTE: Kick pedal and hi-hat stand are sold separately.
