You have two different types of outputs on every drum module we make- your main audio outputs and your USB output. These have very different functions and are going to determine how you proceed.

It does not include the sound.

Although the sounds on the Turbo Mesh kit are not the best, it is decent enough as you get good response while playing on the kit.For young drummers learning, Alesis provides three great learning tools with the module — a metronome, drum coach, and 40 free lessons from Melodics ( read my review on Melodics here ).
