Description
A step up from its cousin, the Nitro Ultimate, this enhanced 10-piece e-kit delivers a fully expressive playing experience. Nitro Ultimate XL has larger mesh pads, larger / upgraded cymbals, and additional tom, and a stand-mounted hi-hat system (stand sold separately) that responds like traditional hi-hats; preserving the physical connection from your foot to your hats.
The Nitro Ultimate XL Module includes over 640 drum sounds, plus 90 days of Drumeo lessons and BFD Player software with included expansions to keep you inspired.
From at-home practice and solo recording to studio spaces and jam sessions, this full-featured electronic drum kit is flexible and reliable in any environment.
A Hi-Hat That Plays Like a Hi-Hat
Nitro Ultimate XL puts a stand-mounted, movable hi-hat controller at your feet, compatible with most traditional hi-hat stands (sold separately). This lets you play with the natural feel and expression of an acoustic kit, giving you full control over every technique and subtle detail.
Expressive Triple-Zone and Dual-Zone Cymbals
This pro-level kit features dual-zone crash cymbals and a triple-zone ride, each equipped with choke functionality. This lets you play with more nuance, allowing for separate edge crashes, bow strikes, and tip sounds for a more dynamic, acoustic-like performance. The size of Nitro Ultimate's 14" triple-zone ride and two dual-zone 12" crashes make for a more realistic and natural playing experience.
Responsive Dual-Zone Drums with Mesh Heads
Nitro Ultimate XL's dual-zone drums give you a natural, expressive playing experience. The responsive 12" snare and four 10" toms let you experiment with advanced techniques like rimshots with ease. You can also assign different sounds to the rims, adding extra nuance and variety to your drumming.
Durable, Adjustable Rack Structure
A reinforced steel rack with locking clamps keeps the entire kit solid and stable during high-energy playing. Even with its durable structure, Nitro Ultimate XL remains easy to adjust, reposition, and move, making it ideal for home studios, living rooms, bedrooms, and shared practice spaces.
The Nitro Ultimate XL Module
Start playing immediately with a huge collection of sounds designed specifically for Alesis Nitro Ultimate XL players. Explore and experiment with 52 ready-to-use drum kits and more than 640 professionally crafted sounds-all included in the powerful Nitro Ultimate XL Module that's positioned for fast, fluid adjustments that won't interrupt your flow.
For more creative flexibility and sound customization, connect via onboard MIDI to BFD Player on your Mac or PC and build your own kits at any time.
Seamless Bluetooth Connectivity
Stream music and videos straight from your phone or tablet. Once your kit is set up, all you need is your mobile device and a pair of headphones to play along with songs and lessons at your own pace. Simply connect to your Nitro Ultimate XL via Bluetooth and adjust your sound right from the module.
For group practice and play, or any time you simply want a headphones-free setup, check out the Alesis Nitro Amp Pro.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
