Alesis KP1 - Mechanical Kick Pedal for Electronic Drums

Alesis KP1 – Chain Bass Drum Pedal for Electronic and Acoustic Drums

The Alesis KP1 is a chain-drive kick drum pedal designed to deliver a light, smooth, and reliable response on both mesh and rubber pads on electronic drums and acoustic kick drums . Its reversible, dual-sided (felt/plastic) beater allows you to optimize the attack for your needs: the felt side provides an organic punch on acoustic drums and the plastic side protects and preserves the mesh or rubber pads on electronic drums. The Alesis-specific metal plate and all-metal construction provide stability and durability, while the adjustable return spring makes it easy to fine-tune the pedal's resistance to your playing style.

Main features

• Single-chain drive with a smooth, controlled feel.
• 2-in-1 reversible beater : felt side for acoustic and plastic side that won't damage mesh or rubber on e-drums.
• Metal construction and Alesis footboard for intensive use.
• Adjustable tension spring to adjust the return and speed of the stroke.
• Wide compatibility with Alesis electronic kits (Nitro, Surge, Command, Crimson II SE, DM10 MKII Pro) and standard acoustic kick drums.

Product benefits

• True versatility : a single pedal for your electronic set and your acoustic drum set.
• Longer pad life : The plastic face of the beater prevents marking or wearing down mesh/rubber pads.
• Adjustable ergonomics : adjust the spring tension to adapt the response to your style.
• Reliability thanks to the metal structure and chain transmission, designed for daily and direct practice.

Use cases
