Overview

Beginner-Friendly Setup, Pro-Level Sound.

Alesis e-kits have been trusted by professional musicians and producers at every stage of their drumming careers. Specially designed and developed for aspiring drummers, the Alesis Turbo Max brings together everything you need for the best learning and practice experience in one compact, comprehensive electronic drum kit. Learn the fundamentals of drumming, hone your skills, explore new sounds, and find your signature style with a setup that is ready right out of the box.

From the moment you unbox your Turbo Max, you will have a complete drumming package: four mesh drumheads, three cymbals, full-size kick and hi-hat pedals, a full-height adjustable metal rack, a drum throne, over-ear headphones, drumsticks, and the feature-packed Turbo Max Drum Module.

Key Features

More Convenient Than an Acoustic Kit

The Turbo Max’s ultra-responsive mesh heads deliver a natural acoustic playing feel without the volume—perfect for shared spaces, apartments, and home studios. The compact footprint easily fits in bedrooms or practice spaces, and the entire interconnected rack folds quickly for storage and transport. Drumheads are tension-adjustable with a standard drum key so you can customize rebound as your technique advances.

Built-In Sounds for Creative Inspiration

At the center of the kit is the Turbo Max Drum Module, loaded with 12 custom drum kits and 110 individual drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds. It features 20 built-in play-along tracks along with dedicated rhythmic coaching exercises to build timing and accuracy. Connect to external amplifiers via stereo 1/4" outputs or plug in the included headphones for silent practice.
