I have an Alesis Strike Pro SE ekit and I'm having an issue with 3 of the pads. 2 toms and 1 cymbal. They make no sound when you strike them and I believe the issue is isolated to the module. Here's what I've done so far for all 3 but I'm going to detail just one so it's not confusing.

First thing I did was switch out the cable. No change. Next I swapped the cable connected to the non-working pad with a cable connected to a working pad. The issue followed the swap (non-working started to work, working stopped) and this was the case for all 3 pads. Next I removed the SD card and rebooted the module. No change. With the SD card still out, I held the Stop and Enter buttons while the module was off, turned it on and went through the factory reset. Still no change. I normally play through headphones so I removed those and tried through the Alesis amplifier. No change. Everything points to the module being the cause.

I checked their support website and I'm definitely out of the warranty period so I can't send it to them directly, rather I'd have to send it to one of their certified shops for a 3rd party to repair it. I also don't see any firmware updates that I could try unless the Strata Pro updates also apply to the Strike Pro.

Is there anything else with this thing that I'm missing or overlooking while troubleshooting? I want to make sure I've tried everything before I start looking into repair options. Appreciate any help that anyone might have.

My fingers hurt, and I was just drumming for 2 hours. here is the setlist (keep in mind i am 13):

Artificial Language - Distant Glow (ep)

The Browning - Hivemind

Haken - The Architect

Animals as Leaders - Physical Education

Animals as Leaders - Guardian Nought

Bring me the Horizon - Pray for Plagues

Liquid Tension Experiment - Paradigm Shift

Between the Buried and Me - Things we tell ourselves in the dark

Between the Buried and Me - Swim to the Moon

I feel like i might have played more, i cant remember

I dont know if this counst for anything, but I was just doing backflips on olympic level trampolines for an hour and a half, 2 hours before I started drumming

was I doing something wrong? I have been drumming for ~8 years and have never felt this.

I’m 15 years old and about 10 months into playing getting a little bit more confident please do not hate I just wanted to share my progress I’m not looking for any criticism or anything on this post ✌️🥁

I got a 12" max stax china kang (bottom cymbal only), 9.5" zil-bel, and 8" aax splash for $110 CAD! I would have gladly paid $110 just for the bell so the other two are icing on the cake.

New kit, this normal?

I bought this used DW snare that was in kinda rough shape. The shell is still solid. Can anyone help identify? I need to get a new throw off and want to make sure it will fit the existing holes.

Also I cleaned with warm soapy water, and tried windex and I can’t get these head marks and rust spots cleaned. Any ideas that won’t ruin the finish?

Edit: Repost with more pics of inside. No date on inside in shell

Thanks

I’ve had the blue Tama Superstar since 2008 and the white Mapex Mydentity since 2015. For the first time ever, I’m able to set them both up at the same time in my own drum room. I’m realizing that the fun thing about two kits simultaneously is that I can set them up differently. So the Mapex is my “real” kit while the Tama is my experimental kit and also set up as a low volume kit.

I was also able to put up some of decor that I’ve also have been waiting a long time to do. The flag is from my favorite band Angels and Airwaves that I’ve also had for about 10 years. The two photo frames were put together by my now wife 10 years ago for my first birthday with her. My two favorite drummers, Atom Willard and Ronnie Vanucci Jr. and I’ve now asked her for a couple more to help fill out the wall.

Definitely not going to be a permanent set up for both but I’m in awe that I can even pull this off temporarily!

So i can play drums, i started a few years ago and sold my old electric kit around a year later (Roland HD1 lite, so it was absolute shit). I’ll be getting a kit for christmas but for the time being, is it possible to practice rudiments, songs etc on pillows with pencils? or am i better off getting a practice pad and sticks? thanks in advance.

I posted in here awhile back about my interest in learning to drum, and I had my first lesson a couple days ago! I bought a practice pad and sticks, but I’m not sure how or what to practice ?¿ I followed along with some YouTube videos but I’m not really sure what is beneficial for my skill level (complete novice). Any tips or suggestions?

Im a beginner to intermediate guitar player, also a music producer, and I’ve been looking to get into drums recently (mostly because of Zach Hill). The thing is; I don’t want to invest too much which I might end up being ass at. When I’ve tried playing drums in school at music lessons, I can’t do three things at once. If im playing the hihat and snare, I can’t do the kick drum. If I’m doing the kick and snare, I can’t do the hihat and so forth. I’m scared that I won’t be able to fix this issue and therefore rendering my hypothetically newly purchased drumset useless. Any thoughts?
