Alesis Command Mesh Kit Eight-Piece Electronic Drum Kit with Mesh Heads $496
$496.00
$799.00
This seems to be a pretty solid deal at $496 on clearance directly from Walmart.com (not a 3rd party seller) if you are looking for an Alesis electric drum kit. Most refutable places still have it listed at $799

I was going to buy the Nitro Mesh but this is not too much more and I hear it is a decent upgrade.

I don't know how well the built-in sounds are on this, but I always used the USB on the controller to my laptop running Addictive Drums 2. AD2 sound quality is pretty incredible, especially when coming from the stock sounds, but this isn't completely necessary.
A couple notes on this (assuming it is the same hardware as what I have)
1) Get e-drum specific sticks or the lightest ones you can handle to avoid damage. You don't want or need to be hitting these hard. Underneath the rubber section on the cymbals is still just hard plastic.
2) If you do rim shots often (on purpose or accidentally) think about rotating the rubber protectors around every once in a while. I ended up tearing through the one on my snare, and removing and re-installing it once it's broken is difficult without tearing it fully.
3) The stand is pretty unstable; at least in certain configurations. If you plan to space your high-hat and floor tom out, be prepared for the stand to want to tip over on you.
4) This isn't really an "issue" per se but be aware that the picture doesn't show any wiring in it. I wouldn't say the set is an eyesore, but it's not quite as clean and attractive once you wire it all up. Just keep that in mind if you're trying to find a spot for it to live.
Also, this may not apply since it's advertised as having mesh heads but I'll mention it just in case: The most unreliable part of my set was the kick drum. It worked fine for a couple years, then eventually the piezo wiring broke a solder joint, rendering it useless. I re-soldered it a few times but more and more of the piezo would break off each time. I purchased more piezos, and replaced the whole thing, but each time it would fail again after a few hours of playing. This eventually made me just stop playing it completely, and now it's in a closet somewhere. Behind the drum head are just several pieces of open and closed-cell foam, and once it compresses from use, the drum beater just smashes it apart. Again, they might have addressed this by going the mesh head route, but I'd keep it in mind.
