I miss the light in the 2box kickdrum... :'(
Plz don't quote the pictures
My 200 px screen is to small for that ...
My kit, without the hihat. I rented it to a great swedish drummer, who had to have electronic drums at a gig.
He opted for acoustic hihat, but was REALLY impressed with the kit.

you lucky man, Iam waiting a very long time for spare parts and the MK2 RACK UPGRADE....
@hefu
You have a very similar set-up to my own preference (-1 tom at the front, I use 10", 12" only). Great looking kit.
And the DW is set up at Salemkyrkan, next door to Slagverket....!
Thanks!
Them's some nice setups. Am green with jealousy :drum1:
Happy Christmas you bunch of noisy desk-tappers :-)
anyone? ???
Here's my setup. Basically exactly how I had my Roland TD4 kit setup before I got this one.

it s not my kit , but I thought it has a nice color :)

and it s also a puzzle game....
(http://www.simmonsmuseum.com/p/pads/sds7_top2.jpg)
I remember they were red; not orange.
The last picture shows it better
Nevertheless: fantastic set
Thx for posting
I used to have a 13 piece Simmons kit held together with two Gibraltar racks shaped like a hexagon. I was surrounded by pads!! That was 1990. The brain was a Roland R8 rack mount. It was fun at the time. I don't think I have any pictures left..
hi
Here are some pictures of my DIY kit... still needs some clean cable job and some finition , but all works quite well ... it s just a bunch of pearl toms from a rythm traveller kit , one from my old pearl fiberglass , and a Mapex 13X5 snare drum... all is electronic , exept the hihat that is an acoustic 13" ufip .

Everything holds on 2 cymbal stands + a snare stand and lots of clamps.
The 2 small pads left to the hihat are canibalized yamaha DD5 parts mounted on foam ... The third little stand is to hold a microphone for ambient sound so i can hear hihat . It compensate also the latency of the snare sound by picking the snare impact directly ....
It s a prototype with lots of gaffa tape and non permanent wirings ... i m still improving the sensors performances , it s my own mix of personal solutions and classical DIY designs found on the web ...
Cymbals are 3 zones with choke ...
For the snare lot of inspiration came from the Hart Dynamic system... but not exactly the same sensor design ...and more gaffa tape ;)
have a nice day folks
Hopefully, here are a few pics of mine, I use the Drumit5 module with a Jobeky Electro Acoustic kit and acoustic cymbals, at present the kit is running fully electric, go to link for details

Nice Cymbals Cuban! How do they trigger?
Thank you. :)
They work very well for me, but as other have said here, they have had issues.
I had to carefully select which sound files worked with which type of cymbal as not all did and then dial in a balanced sound level. Other than that, I only get 2-3 trigger errors on them per show. :)

Hi
I have my module for a year and a half ... After some times spent doing and collecting stuff , i fnally end up with something i like .
(http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/936906IMGP1038.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=936906IMGP1038.jpg)
here is my actual kit , a mix from DIY pads ( snare , 2X10" toms , 12" kick drum ,14" triple zone ride , dual 4" pad ) and some roland stuff ( PD8 , PD85 , PDX8 , CY8 , CY5 )
(http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/177174IMGP1041.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=177174IMGP1041.jpg)
Here is the DIY ride cymbal ... it worked really well for a year , never had triggering issues... only problem is the cracked istambul cymbal i used for top cymbal continues to crack ( mostly close to the bell...)
(http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/598255IMGP1046.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=598255IMGP1046.jpg)
I bought 2 second hand really cheap Edrums ( DTXPLORER & TD4k) , took some pads , the racks and cymbals and sold separatly what i didnt needed .... cost me quite nothing then ... :)
(http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/892465IMGP1044.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=892465IMGP1044.jpg)
I also have a Millenium remote hihat with an acoustic UFIP 13" hihat ... Manfred's HiHat board is under the remote hihat pedal , so both acoustic and digital hats are controled at one time ... the E-hihat is a CY5 ....
(http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/255727IMGP1043.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=255727IMGP1043.jpg)
(http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/197529IMGP1053.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=197529IMGP1053.jpg)
I also made a XLR patchbox , i dont like to have the module on the rack , because of vibrations and chocs .... so i can put it on a table , close to the mixer . It s also nice because you dont damage the module's jacks so much when experimenting...
(http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/429455IMGP1045.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=429455IMGP1045.jpg)
All is triggered with the drumit5 , cy5 and cy8 cymbals are doing a great job ... i just have a Rim trigger input left ... all the rest is used ;)
(http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/846568IMGP1052.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=846568IMGP1052.jpg)
Nice set up edtc . :)
Great to see you also use UFIP. :rock:
I have two complete sets for sessions and even my 2012 touring 'e' kit will have a set of UFIPs on it. 8)
My 2box set again, now with kickpad-holders see photo's:

very nice set ups guys - well done to those who have made their own modifications or even drums - you are inspirational!
Just a little teaser before reuniting everything together :
Gibbie rack and hardware : modified GCS400C rack with larger wings and added side legs with a no leg Hi Hat stand. A mix of Jman's A to E cymbals and 2box HH + cymbal . And of course a 2Box module hiding behind the HH pad. But it can't hide for long with this orange color.
(http://www.vdrums.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=21473&d=1330939703)
And recently made Diamond Electronic Drums with Black ripple wrap and Turquoise ripple stripe. Snare is oiled walnut veneer. Will be on its way this week.

Kit's gonna be Nice! ... 8)
i must have rearranged my kit a thousand times. still isnt better than some of yours guys. i am so jealous. but what really works for my is the cover of the kick. i now really cranked up the gain, and even when i have the cover on the thick side, it triggers great and has a natural feel. and is very very silent.like hitting 3 blankets with your pedals. i am thinking of making the 2box hihat, as a china on the right side of the floor tom, but we will see...perhaps i could use it as a splash but still is too big...
well enjoy. i think this will be my final positioning of toms cymbals, for a very long time

?ou guys all have better kits than me. i am sad...if only i had some kit toy cymbals...
Here is a small pic of my current kit :
(http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg846/scaled.php?server=846&filename=rsz1dsc00137.jpg&res=medium)
Here is a list :
Drums :
5 piece Diamond Electronic Drums
14x5 walnut snare
The others are with black ripple and turquoise ripple stripe wraps
10x8 / 12x9 rack toms with RIMS
14x12 floor tom with legs
20x16 bass drum
Cymbals :
Jman's A to E 18" ride
Jman's A to E 15" crash
2Box 14" cymbl
2Box Hi hat
Gibraltar Hardware :
Modified SC-GCS400C rack (swap 24"wings by 36", use the 24" along with 2 T-legs clamp and round rubber feet to add legs for the wings)
No Leg Liquid Drive Hi Hat stand
2 Tom mounts with ball adjustement
2 short cymbal arms with swing nut
1 long cymbal arm with swing nut.
Pearl Eliminator 2002B Double Pedal
DW Drum trhone Airlift series
And of course, the 2Box module :patbat2box:
The pic does not give the beauty of Dave's work justice. I will do better pics later with a camera.
I will do a mini report on both Diamond Drums and Jman's A to E conversion kit as well. I have a Hi hat conversion to finish (bottom hat) and a 16" crash to convert to replace rubber cymbals left.
Where's the pic ? ;)
Sorry, i didn't know that pics hosted by vdrum forum were restricted for vdrum members. I have upload the pic on another hosting in my the previous post. Enjoy (ou pas !)

Nice kit! I am looking forward to read what you have to say about the Diamond Drums. I know Digital Drummer has tested them, but that was some time ago. How do they trigger with the latest OS?
And of course JMan's conversion kit as well...
Interesting to see how many people keep the film on their module face. I too am guilty of that!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyNEvFT0DD0
Yeah I still have the film on mine... Its not damaged in any way so no need to touch it!
Yep, me also! In fact, the used one I bought on eBay also came with it on ;)
Phew ! I'm not the only pyscho out there ;D
Rider : I will do more test of the ride on friday. I will benchmark it to the 2Box 14" cymbal in term of response and dynamic. What I can tell already : bell separation is stronger on the A to E and the edge sensor is less sensitive than a rubber cymbal (CY8, PCY135/155, 2Box 14") . I've never played a Surge nor a Smartrigger so i can't compare them to mine.
nice to hear!! i dont like the 2box cymbals and they seem way to sensitive on the edge and numb on the bell, a video also will work fine...... :P ;)
Hi guys,
Thought I'd post my 2Box kit for you to see. Had it for 2 months now and have added a couple of extras to the basic kit:
1 x Roland PD-80 (£60.00 off ebay)
1 x Roland PD-80R (£42.00 off ebay) Both toms split on tom1 input.
1 x Millenium mono cymbal and arm (50 euros from Thoman) On cymbal 3 input. (works great!
And no the kit is not the wrong way round, I'm left handed!
I just bought BFD2 while its on sale so I'll be making new sounds too.
Cheers!
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19242611/2box%20kit.jpg)
Nice setup for a lefty.
I woulsd love to have 5 toms. I will have to wait a bit to get 2 more ;D
Placed like this, i would be afraid to hit the module but that's just because I'm sloppy.
wasnt aware that 2box had problems with the bow triggering the bell
So overall its better to have AE ride and 2box crashes maybe???
will wait anxious for the hh conversion review!!!
thx shwoking :rock:
Sorry Rider, i have moved the mini review to a more appropriate area.
http://www.2box-forum.com/index.php/topic,1300.0.html
Here's mine.
6piece, hats and 3 cymbals. All 2box.

No, I mainly use it for x stick, but it can be anything really, some kits I may set it as a tambourine, others as a cowbell.

I have 2 x spare unused and unpainted ones, pre drilled for use with the 2Box module, I'll sell you one! They're made from Aluminium, professionally pressed by my band's singer (He's a sheet metal fabricator)
Wow it's awesome to see the wide variety of was you can set up a 2Box kit.

My Jobeky kit with 2box module and hi-hat
Very nice ... in Dutch *kwijl* !! :rock:
this is my studio room. Pretty much done except for some monitors.
Running an 8 channel Lexicon IO82 interface and a DW 9000 Hi-Hat stand.

Well here goes my first attempt at putting up some photos of my gigging 2box setup. As you can see from the photos (hopefully) It's a bit of a Frankenstein kit. I'm using A Taye Go kit bass drum with a ddrum trigger refinished in Orange Sparkle with the old snare bar from my MK1 rack to mount the toms and 2 cymbals on. The holes at each end of the bar were the perfect size to fit some Taye cymbal arms. I constructed a snare stand from some bits of a Gibralter rack I had lying around and a snare basket from a no name standing snare stand. It was the only way I could get the snare to sit were I wanted it and not get in the way of the Sleishman double pedal I'm using. A couple of my DDRUM 4 cymbal pads round out the setup one as a splash the other as A sidestick/percussion sound pad.Most of my gigs seem to be in places with rediculously small stages so this kit seems to work well for taking up as little space as possible whilst still giving me plenty of things to hit

Howdy folks! I've got to award major props to Jman for his stealthtrigger setup that I installed on a set of ZBTs. No doubt cutting the vinyl which adheres to the cymbals for dampening takes patience and endurance, but the trigger installation itself is a cinch! And if you know your way around the 2Box interface, tweaking your settings, starting with the recommended baseline Jman provides takes just a few minutes to get the right feel and response. If only Manfred would get to building the 2Box hihat boards my cymbal setup would be complete!

I live on the third floor in an apartment complex and was worried about kick pedal vibration, so I got some foam matting from a local hardware store, put down a couple layers and started hammering away! Didn't quite do it, neighbor could still hear so I adjusted the bass drum prong thingies (not sure what they're actually called) to hold the front of the kick drum up, put three cut up layers of foam under the heel and toe of each kick pedal, and it seems to be doing well so far! Just thought I'd mention that for those of you who are in apartments as well, ended up being much cheaper than the tennis ball platforms everybody else is building, though not nearly as attractive I must say.

Nice kits! Tempting to post mine (again). I'm close in adding a Zildjian Gen16 to my setup. It will improve my hihat skills and 2 extra cymbals. :). Wisest thing is to wait for the announced improved gen's in June. But is a drummer a wise man?

Get 'em while they are on sale! The new pickups will be available for purchase separately, the cymbals will be the same as the current ones.
Here is my Kit, it consists of roland pads, roland hardware, tama hardware, 1 Drumtec diabolo 12" snare in silver sparkle, a couple of kit toys cymbals and the most important piece, the orange brain. I'm considering a 2box cymbal to replace my cy15 so I can have 3 zones.

Three honest reasons:
I noticed a price-drop and the difference between US and Europe is now ~ 225 EUR's. Transport and import taxes are killing. More important: I need to work on my hihat skills and the best way to do this is the real thing. And last but not least: I'm an IT-contractor, I work my little *** off to earn my money and decided I deserve this as a personal appreciation of my effort. ::) ;D :rock:

This is so cool. Just got it up and running. tomorrow tuning, tweaking and adding some heavy BFD2/SDSE kits.
Looks cool!!!,but wonder what you think about the sounds of the gen16? It would be awesome if we could use our own triggers with the gen16 hihat.
I've made quite a few changes to my kit since I last posted pics so here's an update!
Since the last time, I have got rid of some PCY155's and added Zildjian Gen-16's. I've also modified an acoustic snare and fitted it with Wronka trigger (works great!). I'm now using the old 2box 12" pad as a 5th tom. I've also added two home made A to E splashes and I got a set of KRK Rkit 6's to use when no one else is in the house, they sound amazing!

Nice Brian! The 13 or 14 inch hats? And no issues with the Zildjian mic pick-ups? I had to move my speakers away from the kit because of internal feedback.
Nice set up Brian-D
Cheers puttnvr.
Cheers murgen, its the 13 inch hats. I too was expecting feedback issues but I haven't had any!
Nice kit and boxes! I too joined the gen16 club today, will post pics soon :patbat2box:

Combination of the BFD2 samples in the brain, the 'fat' settings on the Gen16 DSP and playing a genuine hihat makes the kit quite complete.

Nice setup man. I'm still not convinced about the Gen16s though. They look great...but I haven't heard a single vid to convince me that they are worth the cash. I'll re think them once the new pickups come out in June...after that...if they fail the "hearing test" they'll still make nice triggers. ;)

Thanks Daniel, the Gen-16's are an aquired taste I suppose but I have to say I really like the sound of the hats and the ride. The crash on the other hand sounds nothing like a crash and is very thin and gongy sounding. Hopefully the new direct pickups will address this.
Cheers

Soundwise I also not convinced about the gen 16, for me a gen16 hihat with stealth-triggers would be more interesting...

Most seem to be pretty satisfied with the hats(I'm still leery) but you are one of the few that I've heard say they liked the ride. Interesting.

Yep....this may very well be their best application. ;)
I'm still waiting to see what the Direct Source pickups deliver. I will say though that I don't hold out much hope for an extreme change in audio though until they advance the DCP considerably.
New pics, ditched the roland mds12x rack and added a drumtec comfort plus rack. I also added the new direct source pickups for my ziljian gen16's

It is a DIY-kit, using 2Box hihat, two cymbles and four Roland CY-8.
sounds are from SD2.3, Roland and 2Box (crashes and ride).
Best thing about my drumset: I don't have to think about sound - it is just playing and enjoying it.

Hello members,
Oke, now i post some pictures of my kit. It's made from 2 kits with extra DIY toms (rototoms & snare) and 2 extra crash (an old HiHat).
Also you see both kicks are stand alone with DIY stands. I also put some extra weight at the beaters for better response.
The 2e 2box HH i use for extra crash/china or percussion.
I hope the pictures are visible, it's my first time working with photobucket.

That's nice, dual kicks, tons of toms, and rotos. Sharp!
Funny, yesterday, not an issue. All of a sudden I feel the need for roto toms go figure!

That would be cool.
I finally got around to redoing my setup. I hadn't tweaked it since getting the kit, as I've been playing around with settings...recording etc. Much better now!
- Rewired everything cleanly
- Mounted my high-hat to the rack
- Did some tweaking of my kick pedal
- changed the positions of tom brackets from top to bottom
- Moved the module to right hand side of the kit
- Lowered the crossbars
- Second tom is acting as ride for now

I've been drumming for about 35 years and I really enjoy them. I definitely prefer the mesh heads over the rubber. It made a tenfold difference in feel. I love the sounds and I haven't even delved into SDSE "yet"
I love the fact that I can practice anytime now or jam with friends via headphones. The biggest game changer for me is recording original music. I loathed programming drums and would eventually get fed up with trying to get the Alesis to sound like a drummer playing the song and just stick with a straight beat.
Now I can just knock off the drum tracks in 5-10 minutes and it's exactly how I want it to sound, and it sounds great without much tweaking in my DAW. It's really inspired my writing, which was in the doldrums for the past few years.
My only knock is the hi-hat sensitivity needs a lot of tweaking and finding the right hat to achieve that. I don't even mind the rubber cymbals...which I thought I would hate.
Can't recommend it enough for other drummers.
Oh and realized when I was re-setting up the kit, that I had the kick drum bar pointing outwards instead of inwards. That has made the stability a bit better and I do notice less bounce back. I'm still going to get the brace bar though. Also moving my counterweight on my beater shaft to the middle improved the bounce back as well.
After a year I started to hate the hihat because of false triggers or random hits. 2Box even send a replacement to test but no cigar.
I can recommend the Zildjian GEN16 solution with Direct Sound Pickups but go for the bronze version straight away. Don't mind about the crashes but a real hihat and ride made a difference for me. I have the nickel 480 box but ordered the bronze ones too.
Great to see another drummer happy about the Orange Monster from Sweden.
Murgen, just curious, when you walked away from the 2 box hat and cymbals why didn't you just go to real cymbals , period! I looked at the nickel gen 16's when I had my Roland kits and although I only played them a few times at a local guitar center for about 10 to 15 minutes each time . I didn't really put them thru the paces . I hear a lot of good talked about the new bronzed edition. What am zo missing?

Good question! Three reasons: 1. I have a drum cabin that is not 100 % soundproof and the Gen16's are not as loud as real cymbals. 2. The Gen16 module has some settings and options for different sounds and plug into my mixer (direct pickups do not pick up environment sounds) so I can mix them with the 2Box and other instruments in an easy way. 3. Toys for boys, I was very curious about them.
Just a real hihat with a mic is a cheaper solution but in the end I enjoy the Gen's.
First off...I don't gig.(those days are well over) I'm just a hobbyist who love to build and play....and I take my hobby very seriously. ;) I prefer the samples of the 2Box triggered hats(Love Gen16 Digital Vault series)....however I've never been a rubber cymbal fan. I've had A2E cymbals since my first e-kit. That said...with the control box mod and a nice stand with a good adjustable spring I found the hats much easier to "tune in"....and I could use whatever type of cymbal I wanted....Roland..Yamaha...triggered gen 16..etc.
Now speaking of Gen16....I have plenty of them with DS pickups...and even some triggered one's. I wouldn't trade any of them for the best rubber cymbals on the market. The hats are the best for feel and playability especially if you prefer traditional acoustic hats and cymbals. However as with most of the toys we choose in e-drumming...these are not plug and play. The Access Tool is the key finding the tones you prefer. I like the Nickel...but most will probly prefer the Bronze as, from what I've heard, they seem to have a warmer more "traditional" tone.
All that said...if ambient noise is an issue...these may not be for you. They are "real" cymbals and have tones to match and albeit much quieter than their traditional counterparts...they still may annoy folks at a midnight practice session.
Personally...Noise is not an issue for me...I'll never go back to rubber e-cymbals. I may try the Buffed Bronze series though. ;)
Whispers ... On Julia's unofficial gen16 forum drummers say the new shapes for bronze make the nickel sound very nice and warm as well. Must try ... Will try. :)
Here we go! Buffed Bronze came in this week, I had to re-arrange my cymbals setup and ordered an extra DSP and here we go, a nickel and a bronze 18 inch crash, 14 inch hats and the 20 inch ride. Loaded the module with both Simon and Russ' toneshapes and very pleased. At last the crashes sound like real crashes. ;)
I finally start to understand the Gen16 software (it is easy but as an engineer you do not like to read manuals, ;) ) and I made sure both nickel and bronze have on cymbal #3 and #4 the same shapes loaded.
Without the module the bronze version is darker and warmer where the nickel one as expected is more sharp and explosive. Via the module the sound difference is less expressive but I only gave myself 1 hour testing before I wrote this. :)
Best of both worlds in e-World.

Looks pretty clean. I might would attach the wire looms to the rack bar itself instead of draping them across the the clamps though. :)
Why selling, Roel? 8)
I have decided to keep it! so its not for sale anymore.

Yes that's right, I have 2 electronic kits but I was thinking about buying a acoustic drumset and sell 1 electronic kit.
But I have decided to keep my 2box set, Its better for my neighbours, and I don't like reconstructing my hobby room, it will cost me extra money and Iam still happy with my 2 electronic drums so its a no go.

Thanks mcrackins, I know that some forums automatically size the pictures to match the width of the page, that's why I asked.

Jesus, is there aa way to preview photos in thumbnails instead of full size pictures?
Yes, use Imgur if you don't care if your photos are public.
https://imgur.com/
After you upload, select under "Sizes" "Large Thumbnail"
Copy the image link under - BBCode (message boards & forums)
Then you'll have some nice formatting that doesn't look gigantic on the board.
Here's mine

Looks good Deac! What do you think of the 2Box sounds now that you have changed over from Roland quite a while now? And which model of the Gen16's are you using. Is that the newer Brass version?
I am really happy with 2box. Especially when using dsnd's made from vst's. I could never get a recordable sound using Roland stuff. Those are the buffed bronze cymbals. They sound great also but the splash has not worked out for me.

Have you got the BB China and how is it? Great setup, wicked!
Thanks! I didn't get the china cymbal. I don't find myself ever using a regular china much, so I decided to skip it.
I have now 2 Ddrum 4SE sets, I must be crazy yes I am and 1 expanded 2box set:

I like the looks of the 2 curved rack tubes upright like that for the upper level! :drum2:
This is myset up with 2 ddrum4se module's . I now have swapped out the 2 ddrums for the 2box module . I haven't had time to set up the 2 box pads yet. Thanks to Jman for the 32gig upgrade . very happy with it .

I could get it more extreme add some more curve bars but I using 1 2box module so enough stuff to hit.
do you have a photo Fulrmr?

Not at the moment. Everything is "in transition" to a new building. BTW...I only have 6 toms but I have lots of cymbals, almost all Gen16 (triggered and traditional) except for the clear acrylic DIY ones I formed myself with triggers. It's much smaller and seemingly more "traditional" than my "monster" that was featured in digitalDrummer mag a few years back.
I really like the way the curved uprights look on the round platform. I'll try to get some pics when everything is moved and situated.
Can anyone tell me how to insert a photo to this post?? When I click the Insert photo icon - nothing happens exept a bit if html code appears ie (//) There doesnt appear to be a way to upload the photo??

It is covered in this thread: http://www.2box-forum.com/index.php/topic,2065.msg18297.html#msg18297
Here you have the best E-Drum Combination between Ddrum and 2box!
Still a lot of inputs free.
enjoy!!!

Well, next thing is to make a nice drum mat for the kit and sort out the cable mess! Oh, and the mess in my room as well ::)
Lookin Good! :drum3: Congrats!

Nice, same colour (almost) as mine. For the cable mess I recommend a reel of double-sided velcro, just cut 3" lengths off and place at strategic positions on the rack. I got mine from Thomann.
Thanks, the finish is actually a semi mat sparkle blue. Its actually a car wrap. I wanted to paint the drums but i dont have a proper room to do it. And minus temperatures didnt help either. Maybe during the summer ;-) I opted for a blue sea/marine/turquoise, just like sonor martini kit. Next thing to do is to buy a white front reso for the kick and some natural wood hoops:D
Mine is similar, but flat dark blue slightly glossy, designed to go on walls or cupboards I think. It's not so tough, so I'll have to redo it in the future. Car wrap eh? I'll look into that.
I still setting up my New Sonor beech kit, and the new cymbals from Jerry soon I will post photo's!
The 2box pads/cymbals and ddrum 4se module are gone time for something new.I'am using the new 2box trigit triggers on my new kit.
here you see a first photo but it is not ready!

Have you had time to play with the trigit triggers? how do they perform with the 2box module and the 682 mesh heads?
This is my latest incarnation: a converted cheap mapex Saturn with 2box triggers, remo silent stroke mesh heads and zildjian low volume converted with jman triggers.

Looks great. How are you getting on with the 2box triggers? I'm thinking of buying a set too : )
Yeah particularly - how is the 2box trigger working with the silentstroke on the snare? Any double triggering, or sensitivity issues?
Hey There,
Here's how i rock my 2box.
I use kriggs for the kick drums.
