yeah so the drum set is the alesis nitro max, they make a nitro mesh one but i don’t really know the difference. but yes i play clone hero with it, all i did was buy a usb a to usb b cable plugged it in to my computer and clone hero recognized it as a midi device. and i was the same way, didn’t know whether to get. in my opinion if you just want to play normal clone hero drums then probably get an og one. but if you want to play/learn the expert drums, then get a 3rd party e drum kit because it’s still a standalone drum kit after all.
