at least bow and choke should work on most cymbals. Try one of those:

http://www.thomann.de/se/millenium_mps200_e_drum_becken_pad.htm (only bow)
http://www.thomann.de/se/millenium_mps400_stereo_becken_pad.htm (bow and edge)

I wish I bought one of those, bought a yamaha 135 and they are terrible compared to the 2box cymbals, only 2 zone works and they have really low output compared to the 2box cymbals and the can only be hit an a small area on the front of the cymbal.

I think you better can use the original 2box cymbals.

Yes, they work. I´ve used a 2 zone crash a couple of times, but as a ride. But as I´m writing this I can´t remember if the choke function worked or not....

I like the kit toys stuff cuz you can get different sizes.  I'm not that worried about dual zones/choke in add on cymbals.  Just want to be able to add a splash and china.  Kit Toys seems to be the only one who makes a e-china--maybe e-cymbals does too.  Also, stupid question as I'm too lazy to dig out my manual.  How many other cymbals/pads can be plugged in to 2Box? 2 or 4..

u can plug in 3 threezone cymbals in the cymbalinput and one twozone cymbal in the 4th tom input or even split it if u gonna use single zone with a y-cable and use tom4 to 2 cymbals, u set the other cymbal to rim in the module (by holding "tom4" and pressing "more" on the module)

Kit Toys splash cymbals is a great choice. I really like mine and it feels close to a real one. They´re not as precious and sensitive as my old Istanbul´s (rest in peace) but on the other hand seem to last longer.

I would like to buy some 'cheap' cymbals for my splash and china, and those kit toys seems a good choice, but on the other hand I would like to get a new pad for the ride, and leave the 2box cymbals as chrashes. To be honest I don't feel completely satisfied with the rubber feel of the 2box cymbals. For the ride I really want something that feels like an acoustic one. Which one would you recommend?

Yesterday I got three of them...

They work fine with the 2box except the choke, I haven't been able to make it work.

Mine are singled-zone cymbals. It's ok for me because I want them for effects (splash, china)..so having 3-zone cymbals it's not needed (for me at least). Also, they cost me the same as a single 2box cymbal...

I always felt uncomfortable by grabbing a cymbal with one hand while hitting it with the other  ;D
