I purchased this set for my grandson for christmas,along with a Roland PM-03 amp. The master volume turned up all the way, as well as each drum set to max of 16, the volume was not as loud as a TV !! I thought that the amp might be bad, so I returned it for another one. The new one works the same. With max volume, we can easily talk above the volume level. Help ??
SOURCE: Alesis SR-16 distorted sounds
The distorted and low volume output plus noise is usually caused by using the wrong power supply adapter. The Alesis SR-16 takes a 9V "A/C" supply not "DC". The A/C supply provides a negative voltage swing which wouldn't exist with a DC supply. So check and make sure you have 9V A/C output supply not DC.

The sound on all the stock kits I found to be too low. What I did was create a custom kit and altered the dynamics of all the pads and cymbals - once you're in the dynamics settings, just hit the pads/cymbals the hardest you normally would and save that setting!

Also, it seems to work good with headphones and no apparent distortion. It seems that a 25W amp should produce more volume than a transistor radio.
I do have to agree but they all are pretty low in volume.
