Description:
Used for a few months. Has a few scratches on top of case when mounting. Works perfectly. Can demonstrate if needed. I also have the Ion Drum Rocker Kit that can be used with Rockband/Guitar Hero if you're interested. Works well with Alesis DM5. Selling because I lost some money from the stock exchange and looking to build up more cash.

Includes: Alesis DM5 module, power cord, printed instruction manual, midi-to-usb cable.

Specs/Info from their site:

"For drummers and MIDI composers on a budget, the Alesis DM5™ offers professional performance features and an excellent selection of drum, percussion and special effect samples. The DM5 puts over 540 sounds into a single rack space, many recorded in true stereo and with ambient effects. Both classic Alesis studio drum sounds and new cutting-edge sounds for the latest musical styles are well represented. You'll find a great selection of kicks, snares, toms, hi-hats, percussion instruments, special effect samples and more. Plus, the DM5's Expanded Dynamic Articulation™ feature allows drum sounds to change volume, tone, and pitch depending on how hard they're hit – just like real drums. Plus, the DM5's Random Sample feature brings new life to static tracks by realistically varying the sound of the drum as you play. The DM5 includes an ultra-fast trigger-to-MIDI converter with 12 trigger inputs, 5 programmable parameters for each trigger, 21 programmable drumsets, and four audio outputs for discrete processing and control. Whether you're looking for a MIDI-controlled percussion module, a drum replacement tool for mixing, or an affordable answer for triggering sounds from electronic drum pads, the DM5 is the affordable solution.

$250 is a fucking steal.

Any chance I could hear it? I'm looking for a good module, and the DM5 is the only one I haven't heard in person.

Zen

Yea, no problem. I don't have any of my equipment setup but if you already have your own e-drums I can bring it by and hook it up. I also picked up the midi-usb cable to test it out with cubase + ezdrummer. Works pretty well.

I don't have any triggers around. They're all at my studio. I'll see if we can figure something out.

If only I had 260. How do you like the Ion set?

Fuck I wanna get into real drumming.

Zen

Ion set works perfectly with Rockband and just as good with the DM5. Everything is pretty solid. I'm going to test it out with GH: WT when it comes out. Definitely a great way to get into drumming/making beats/recording. I will also consider trades for a PS3 or iphone 3g.
