Alesis 102130357 - 8" Snare Pad for NITRO MAX KIT

Alesis 102130357 – 8” Mesh Snare Pad (Dual Zone) for Nitro Max Kit

The Alesis 102130357 is the original 8-inch pad for the Nitro Max family, featuring a tensionable mesh head and dual zones (head/rim) for greater expressiveness. It's an approved replacement that can be used as a compact snare drum by connecting it to the module's Snare input, or as a tom, taking advantage of its compact size and velocity sensitivity. It integrates via the kit's harness (1/4" connectors labeled by pad) and uses a 1/4" TRS cable to transmit both zones when the module's input supports it.

Main features

• 8” (20.3 cm) mesh with adjustable tension to tailor the rebound to your technique.
• Dual Zone (Head/Rim): Assigns different sounds to the head and rim when connected to a dual input (e.g., Snare ).
• Standard connectivity : 1/4” TRS jack via Nitro Max harness.
• Official replacement part for the Nitro Max series: guaranteed electrical and mechanical compatibility.
• Sturdy construction for intensive practice at home, in the classroom, or in the rehearsal room.

Product benefits

• Immediate set restoration with the quiet feel and natural bounce of the mesh.
• More sound resources : the dual zone allows for rimshots, cross-stick or alternative articulations.
• Configuration flexibility : use it as a compact snare drum or as an additional tom .

Compatibility and notes

• Compatible kit: Alesis Nitro Max Kit (official spare part).
• Module inputs: The Snare input supports dual zones; on other inputs, the use of the rim depends on the module's assignment/firmware.
• Comparison with the standard snare drum: The Nitro Max comes standard with a 10" dual-zone snare drum (ref. 102130356-A). This 8" model is a more compact alternative or an ideal dual-tom pad.
• Spare part contents: 1 × 8” pad. Does not include support, clamp , “L” rod or cable (those in the kit are reused).

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I need a special cable? To transmit head and rim, use a 1/4" TRS cable connected to a dual input on the module.
• Can I use it as a snare drum? Yes. Connect it to the snare input to take advantage of the dual-zone setup. Keep in mind that it will be more compact than the 10" snare included with the Nitro Max.
• Does it include hardware? No. It's just the pad. Brackets and wiring are included in the base kit.
