All-in-One Drum Audio Capture & Hybrid Expansion: Alesis Kitstream Acoustic Drums Streaming Module

Kick-Drum Mounted Stereo Microphone, Integrated Trigger Inputs, USB-C Audio, and Onboard Recording

The Alesis Kitstream is an all-in-one recording, streaming, and hybrid module engineered specifically for acoustic drummers. Designed to mount directly to an acoustic kick drum hoop, this compact unit eliminates the need for complex multi-microphone setups, stands, mixers, or extensive routing. It features a built-in high-quality stereo microphone that captures the full sound of an acoustic kit in seconds, making it an ideal solution for tracking drum covers, livestreaming, producing social media content, or recording straight into a DAW. At just over three pounds, the Kitstream houses an internal sound engine with 500 onboard drum and percussion sounds, onboard digital effects, and 50 hours of internal recording time.

In addition to acoustic audio capture, the Kitstream serves as a powerful hybrid drum module. It features dedicated trigger inputs that support up to six single-zone or three dual-zone external drum/cymbal triggers, allowing drummers to blend electronic samples with their acoustic sound. With user sample import (up to 99 custom sounds), Bluetooth audio streaming for play-along tracks, seamless USB-C audio/MIDI connectivity, and hands-on control via tactile mixing knobs and a clear display, the Kitstream delivers a streamlined, professional workflow from performance to finished content.
