Alesis Kitstream Description
The Alesis Kitstream provides acoustic drummers with a straightforward way to capture, record, and stream their performances without building a complicated microphone setup. Designed to mount directly to a kick drum, its integrated stereo microphone captures the overall sound of the acoustic kit, reducing the need for individual drum microphones, microphone stands, mixers, and extensive cable routing. This streamlined approach makes it particularly useful for musicians creating drum covers, social media videos, instructional content, and home recordings.
With up to 50 hours of onboard recording, Kitstream allows drummers to capture performances directly on the device without connecting a computer. USB-C audio connectivity provides an additional option for recording into a digital audio workstation or sending audio to compatible streaming software.

Beyond acoustic drum recording, Kitstream offers creative possibilities for hybrid drumming.
