Where Rhythm Meets Realism

Designed and sized to deliver an authentic and expressive drumming experience, Nitro Ultimate XL gives you the sound, feel, and power of acoustic drums in a convenient electronic setup. 

The Ultimate E-Kit for Authentic Playing Feel and Response

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.
