INSTANT DRUMS FOR ON-THE-GO MUSICIANS. Alesis knows drums. Our SR16 has dominated the drum machine market since 1990 and continues to be in-demand today. Following in the tradition of its relative, the next-generation SR18 is loaded with cutting-edge drumsets, electronic drums, one-shot hits, and modern percussion sounds for any cutting-edge musician€s performances and compositions. 

From hip-hop to country and everything in between, SR18 nails it on the first take. SR18 has an effects engine with Alesis reverb, EQ, and compression so you can output recording or performance-ready sounds. Dynamic Articulation„ enables sound to change in color and timbre, the same way that acoustic instruments do for truly realistic performances. 

SR18 can be powered by AC or batteries, so whenever or wherever you need to lay down a groove, you€re ready to roll. It€s time for the next Alesis drum machine.
