Electronic drums - music connection
Discussion
Hi Folks. I'm looking to get an Alesis Nitro Mesh kit, but notice the new Nitro Max adds Bluetooth to the control module. What benefit is this, please? Is it just to allow for wireless headphone connection?
I'll be new to e-drums. I'm going electronic for noise reduction purposes. As a teen I had an acoustic kit and drummed to music being played through my headphones. If headphones need to be connected to the control module on an e-kit, how does one get music to ones ears? (I'm aware that may seem a stupid question, but I'm OK with that!

With my Millenium MPS-850 kit I can play music via a laptop straight into the module via AUX socket and mix the volume between this input and the kit itself..and listen to it all through head phones..It looks as if you could do the same..
From the Alesis Nitro module handbook:
In addition to the USB MIDI connection for use with computers and mobile devices, the Nitro module also offers up some old-school MIDI In and Out jacks so you can hook up to your favorite MIDI-equipped drum machine, sound module or other audio gear. There is a headphone jack for private practice, plus stereo outs to connect to a PA system, amplifier or recording console. The stereo aux input enables you to jam along to your favorite tracks on your CD or MP3 player.

Sorry I'm late...
I have a Roland TD27 e-kit. The Bluetooth is to allow you to play music into the control module from your phone. Bluetooth isn't useful when listening to drums that you are playing - there's always a delay.
In my case I use noise cancelling headphones (Bose QC35ii) WITH a cable connection to the drum module. The ANC cuts out the background noise which is really the acoustic noise of the pads. It leaves you only with the triggered noise of the drums themselves.
