The Alesis DM6 Kit performance electronic drum set is one of the most popular electronic drum sets for aspiring drummers and price conscious percussionists alike.
It's the most versatile and realistic sounding one you will find at this price point. Some even compare its quality to that of some high-end sets on the market.
Here's what you can expect when you purchase your Alesis DM6 Kit performance electronic drum set.
Realistic Sound
One thing that is often a pain point with sets is poor sound quality. People usually complain that the drums just don't sound real.
That's not the case with this set. Although the price for this set is low, you won't have to sacrifice the pure sound of a great set. This is what amazes may of the happy customers who have purchased the Alesis DM6 kit performance electronic drum set.
Can Connect with Your Computer
It's very rare for a drum kit at this price point to have the ability to connect with your computer. But sure enough the Alesis DM6 kit performance electronic drum set can do just that. So you can have the same midi recording functionality that you get with more expensive sets.
Everything but the Kitchen Sink
This set is pretty much a complete drummer's set in a box. The only thing it doesn't have is the throne (seat). Otherwise, it's got everything down to the drumsticks. So you can start playing immediately after assembly.
All of this amounts to amazing quality for the price. I don't know of any other drum kit that will deliver on this scale for such a low price.

This particular Pokedex by Jakks Pacific (#59831) features all 151 Pokemon from the Diamond and Pearl Sinnoh Region, with fun electronic voice-overs and music featured throughout gameplay, with a twin screen and black and white display.
Mini Games Menu:
There is a good selection of games for kids, including:
1. Maze Game - Your objective is to find 10 Pokemon and escape the Sea Temple Maze. Top screen displays the maze. Using the bottom screen you choose which direction to go as it shows a moving closeup of pathways.
2. Who's That Pokemon? - In this game you have to guess what each Pokemon is by their number shown. You have a multiple choice of 3 answers, with a shadow image of each shown on top screen.
3. Which Doesn't Belong? - 3 different characters are shown one by one on top screen with numbers below. You need to work out which one isn't the same type. Even if you guess right or wrong, an explanation of each is given at the end of each round.
4. Pokemon Search, "Find the Pokemon" - You need to watch the Pokemon as they move around the screen and find where they are hiding. Each rounds gets harder, with more locations to find and memorize. One wrong move and you're out!
5. Who Would Win? - You are presented with 2 Pokemon on top screen one by one, with multiple choice answers below. You have to guess which one would have the advantage in a duel. After you choose and marked correct/incorrect, a full explanation is given of which one has greatest strength and why.
6. Pokemon Memory - You have 12 chances in this game (text displayed on top screen) to match Pokemon characters shown on bottom screen as Poke Balls. Each time you try to get a match their pictures are shown on top screen. Once you guess correctly, each pair then disappears off the bottom screen. Being a memory game fan as a kid, this was one of my favourite games.
7. Poke Ball Shuffle - Watch carefully as Pikachu hops into one of 5 Poke Balls and the balls shuffled on top screen. Use the arrow buttons to choose where Pikachu is hiding. If you guess wrong it shows where Pikachu was and asks if you want to play again.
