Does this machine include ethnic or tuned percussion like bodhran, tabla, frame drum, glockenspiel, chimes, or dumbek etc?

No, But Tuned percussions, Tabla, Glockenspiel, you mentioned are on my Techno Trance 1992 CD Audio Samples by ZERO G ((very rear to find now)) that you can Adjust>>EQ: for the ASR-10 Synth. The Fantom G6 has Percussions & quite a lot of Goodies & more for you with Choices & EQ:The Alesis SR18 has Percussions / etc...But it's Not the True Blue Sound your Looking For. Some music dealers have 2nd hand Drum Machines & Synths that have All the Above Instruments but Check those Products before you buy "em" All the Best with your Search Stewart!

No... The sounds are manually adjustable but not exacting to let's say a tabla, etc. If I want to pull up the above mentioned instruments I use a Roland Fantom keyboard workstation that cost 2K. The SR18 is a great buy for 200. but it won't do what you are looking for.

I'm sorry, but there is no listing of drum sounds in the manual. I doubt that those sounds are somewhere in the machine. I would recommend going to a local store that has one and checking it out.

probably does, it has everything regarding drum patterns. The problem with this machine, and why I immediately sent it back, was it has a BASE LINE with every pattern that you cannot get rid of!!! It is not advertised as such, I sure as heck didn't want a drum machine that had a base line attached. Be nice to add as needed , but not attached. so... hope this helps

Crash and trap (Hi Hat) Cymbals are included. However, due to the nature of the sensors, you can't use mallets or brushes.

yes it does, except for the bass pedal. I honestly would say this is just one below the roland kits and better than the rest.

Yes it does. It has a lever which will switch it from a regular drum to a snare drum.

No. It is complete by itself. All programing is done on it. Just hook it to headphones or an amplifier when you want to hear the drum sounds.

No built in speaker but it has many nice samples including grand pianos, violins, cellos, contrabasses and combined strings, plus drums including timpani, a lots of woodwinds and brass samples.

It does have some unique sounds and kits of all sorts. You can even mix different sounds together to get your desired kit. Does lack the perfect reverb, but you can attach a pedal, or buy a new moduler. U can find Roland models on ebay at a good price...

It does, but I can't imagine anyone being able to tolerate these cymbals for very long before breaking down and buying some new ones. Expect to spend more than you did on this kit for a set of beginner-level cymbals.

It has a nice low pitch, similar to a Native American drum, which is why I purchased it.

It comes with the shells, rims, the hardware for the rims and shells, tom arms, floor tom legs, and stock heads. No cymbals, cymbal stands, or snare stand.

The drum unit does not include the toner cartridges. You'll need to order them separately.

To follow up, there are no dumb questions...Alesis is not alone in the counting process. All drum kits, digital or otherwise count only the drum components. A typical 5 piece is a snare, kick and 3 toms. Cymbals, chimes, etc don't count because they are not drums. Drums are part of the percussion section, but not all of the percussion section is made of drums.

This drum machine mostly makes synthetic sounds. They can be used for any genre with the only limitation being, if they match the user's taste. I would suggest listening to youtube videos demonstrating all of the sounds that the machine makes and if it is right for you. An instrument is just a tool and there are no hard set rules on what goes with what.

Yes, it has various colors. Absolutely great machine. Haven't regretted the purchase for a single minute.

Yes, I'm not the musically inclined one in our household, but it is my interpretation that the metal spring like strap on the bottom side of the drum is the snare. After pulling a quick google yes I am going to say my assumption was correct, it is included. Best wishes!

Yes it does, there are 8 additional instruments displayed above the keys that change the instrument. There is a xylophone, trumpet, clarinet, violin, etc

If you mean the actual machine sounds, I think they are listed, but are: ocean suft, stream, rain, white noise, summer night, and wind
