The next-generation Alesis SR18 drum machine is loaded with cutting-edge drum sets, electronic drums, one-shot hits, and modern percussion sounds–from hip-hop to country and everything in between–for any cutting-edge musician’s performances and compositions. Alesis SR18 Drum Machine also offers an effects engine with Alesis reverb, EQ, and compression so you can output recording or performance-ready sounds. Alesis’ exclusive Dynamic Articulation feature enables a drum sound to change its tonal content as it’s played harder–just like an acoustic drum–for truly realistic performances.

You can plug Alesis SR18 Drum Machine with Effects Engine in an instrument, such as a guitar, and play along for setup simplicity. You can play in bass parts using the pads on the Alesis SR18 Drum Machine or connect a MIDI keyboard for fast, musical low end. Alesis SR18 Drum Machine can be powered by AC or batteries for on-the-go composition.
