Out of the box and onto the stage.

Compact, quiet, quick to set up, with true, natural sound, the DM8 USB Kit brings Alesis quality to drummers and studios. Whether you need quiet practice, tracking quickly into software, or fast on-stage setup, the DM8 USB Kit is a perfect choice.

TRUE SOUND

The DM8 USB Kit features the barrier-shattering DM8 high-definition drum module with Dynamic Articulation™. Our latest drum module in a line now spanning 20 years, the DM8 builds on the success of the top-of-the-line DM10. The DM8 shares the DM10’s essential architecture, including playback of genuine recordings of real drums and cymbals and advanced Dynamic Articulation™ multi-samples.

You'll find the DM8 to be packed with over 750 first-call studio and live drums and cymbals, dozens of play-along tracks, and an advanced metronome for practice and performance. The DM8 features professional audio and trigger inputs and outputs including USB MIDI for expansive flexibility and connection to a wide range of sounds and controllers.

It's an ultra-compact module, which means integrating components of the DM8 USB Kit – or the entire setup – into acoustic drum setups and percussion rigs is easy and comfortable. Imagine adding electronic, percussion and rare, ethnic sounds without giving up the organic, primal power of an acoustic set.

Never before has so much power been offered in a drum module this compact, at such an affordable price.

QUIET DOWN

Whether you want to practice late night, or just keep the studio noise down, the rubberized pads of the DM8 USB Kit keep the acoustic noise down, while still giving you the ability to crank it up!

The DM8 USB Kit features a dual-zone snare, three toms, and a rugged kick pad. You can use virtually any single or double kick pedal for the pedal feel you prefer. The snare and tom pads mount on standard 10.5mm L-rods with low-slip, knurled mounting surfaces. The DM8 USB Kit comes with a compact 8-inch Hi-Hat with continuous-control pedal, a 12-inch Crash with choke, and a large 14-inch dual-zone Ride.

GREAT LOOKS

Everyone knows it can be tough to be seen on stage when you’re a drummer. You’re in the back, usually with no lights. And forget about being able to dance. That’s why Alesis designers took great pains to make the DM8 USB Kit look as great as it feels and sounds. You’ll notice the sleek lines of the DM8, bathed in Raw Aluminum painted finish, which just might match your MacBook Pro, iPad, iPod, or iPhone.

COMPACT CONFIGURATION

Drummers know that hardware can make or break a kit. But what’s ideal for tour – oversized, overweight stands – aren’t necessary in the studio, where space can be at a premium. That’s why Alesis designed the DM8 USB Kit’s DMRack to take up minimal space yet offer stability, durability, and total position flexibility.

This rugged, four-post rack features 1 1/2-inch metal tubes for universal compatibility and sturdiness. The clamps on the DMRack adjust with large wingscrews for easy, tool-less adjustments with no drumkey needed. Mini-boom cymbal arms help get your cymbals right where you want them.

SET ON UP

Besides size and noise, one of the requests from drummers is that they hate building a rack from scratch. That’s why the DMRack comes pre-assembled in the box. Save time and effort getting the kit from the boxes to read-to-play!

Anggun C. Sasmi: A rendezvous with fans

The Indonesian-born, Paris-based singer will be trying to keep things fresh when she takes to the stage at the Jakarta Convention Center on Sunday night. Titled “Konser Kilau” (the shining concert) and featuring her greatest hits, there will be an orchestra as well as her regular band for accompaniment. “There will be different sessions, with 44 people on stage with me,” the 37-year-old said on Thursday. “In France and Italy, I do those big kind of TV shows, but this is my opportunity to combine my music with an orchestra here. Doing a concert here is always something I look forward to.”

It’s her chance to have a “rendezvous” with her local fans, she adds.

“We will have two hours together, and we will have fun! My fans know my songs so well, they know all the words, and doing a concert here is always something I dream of,” she said. “I want to give them something new each time, because I’m always afraid they will get bored with me.”

She is a confirmed supporter of Indonesian fashion, and for many years has worn the figure-hugging bustiers and gowns of Eddy Betty. At Sunday’s concert, she will don the designs of three up-and-coming Indonesian designers: Tex Saverio, Didit Hediprasetyo and Mel Ahyar. “I first became aware of Tex about a year ago from Perez Hilton’s blog,” Anggun says of the celebrity gossip blogger who had lauded the young designer’s stunning debut at Jakarta Fashion Week 2010. “Didit is one of the only Indonesians to have done haute couture in Paris, and Mel is also very talented. I am just happy that they would want to dress me,” she adds with a laugh.

Anggun’s most recent album, Echoes, which has gone multiplatinum since its release earlier this year, has been cathartic in resolving some of the ups and downs of her life. She considers her homecoming concerts over the years as benchmarks in her career and life. When she sees photos from her 2001 concert in Jakarta, she realizes she was still a “baby”, still finding her way as the former child singer who left Indonesia in the early 1990s to pursue an international career and then achieved an international hit with the 1997 album Snow on the Sahara.

Her concert in 2006 – titled “For the Nation” – came at another crossroads in her life, as she prepared to embark on a more mature phase. That has come with the arrival of her daughter, Kirana, in 2007, and her social outreach activities, including as a goodwill ambassador for the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in its efforts to fight hunger. Her more mature public image today and her international success has gained her several high-profile advertising endorsements, including for Pantene hair-care products, the sponsor of her concert on Sunday, and for an osteoporosis education campaign of a milk producer. “My daughter is the main difference in my life now,” she says of her homecoming concert this time around. “Everything is no longer about me and my needs, but the focus is on her. It helps me keep my perspective amid the polluting things about celebrity.”

The spectacular concert tomorrow is in contrast to the way things were when she was starting out in Indonesia. She was part of a trio of female rocks stars, along with Nicky Astria and the late Nike Ardilla. “We would go on concert tours, squeezed into hotel rooms together,” she remembers fondly. “The press tried to make out we were rivals but we were friends, just young people having a fun time together.”
