A definite step up from the original, the new DM5 rack features a curved front bar for better ergonomics

After a spell away (17 years!!) from drums It was a toss up between this and a DTXplorer...it was the price tag that swayed me towards the DM5pro....at £300 I feel you can't really get a better intro into Ekits. As for living with it...it's fine if you have enough room, it can be folded up but you need to remove parts (at least I do!) but don't let that put you off. The preset kits are good and with 520 voices the possibilities are pretty much endless. I felt personally that the instructions needed reading a few times to get the gist of things but once I did I was well away!!
In summary I feel if you got £300 burning a hole in your pocket for an Ekit buy the Alesis DM5 pro.....but then I'm biased!
