Alesis SR18 Drum Machine

The Alesis SR18 is a professional-grade high-definition stereo multi-sampled drum machine with dynamic articulation, designed as a successor to the legendary SR16. Originally founded in the United States in 1980 by Keith Barr, Alesis became a powerhouse in the digital audio revolution.

Today, the brand is part of the inMusic Brands portfolio, which acquired Alesis in 2001. While the brand carries an American heritage and is engineered and designed in the USA, modern production of these units is primarily carried out in China to balance high performance with market accessibility. The parent company, inMusic, is headquartered in Cumberland, Rhode Island, and continues to manage a wide array of prestigious audio brands.
