DrumIt 5 Hardware / Re: snare for 2box? and a posi...
Last post by BURNIN AMBITION - January 22, 2024, 10:04:36 PM
so i had a 12 inch snare created by a terrific guy called Vassilis in Greece. VJS is the brand.
he put the trigger on the side and the rim trigger in the center. i can finally hit the rim without fearing it will break.
The snare triggers flawlessly. amazing really. i am thrilled.
I loved my original snare but this feels even better.

My only problem is that the old 2box snare is my new floor tom. but if i split tom 4 input and share it with a diy pedal i have made, no matter what i do, whenever i git the floor, the kick pedal trigggers. so i stopped splitting tom4 input. if this could be fixed, id be a happy man

to elaborate my problem, please check this photo
https://ibb.co/sVDz17b
the stainless steel wire screw socket, came out of the hole. so the "tension rod" has nowhere to screw onto.
So, one solution would be to somehow get a new wire screw socket to install again in the hole.
But this requires 2 things. a proper toll to insert and screw  the wire socket in the hole (i dont even know how this tool is named, and where to get it), and i dont know what size of wire screw socket i should get. any help?

second solution would be to get a tension rod (i dont know the length and the diameter. is it m6? m5?)
and some bolt to screw from the other side

any help will be appreciated. thanks

DrumIt 5 Hardware / rack clamp tension rod
Last post by BURNIN AMBITION - January 21, 2024, 09:30:27 PM
Hi there guys. i managed to destroy the "tension rod" in one of my clamps.
https://ibb.co/87q3FTt
it is the screw that is marked as 10010 tension rod.
Any ideas where i can find such a rod? i will have to lock it with a wing nut on something, from the other side as the screw has been fucked. any idea what kind of screw will fit the hole of the clamp? m6 will do? i tried a screw that i had from a pearl eliminator pedal that holds the beater, and it was too big. i think these are m6..
any idea is appreciated. i know there are no spares so i am trying to find some sort of solution that will work. thanks

Understood. Nice to meet you both.
I've been on my 2box D5 with 682 mesh heads since June 2014. Solely for practice and to keep peace with family and neighbors. Mucked with about 25% of the settings and customized a few kits but I'm inspired to take things to the next level, like triggering samples. You'll see me around as I experiment some more.

The deeper I search on the module SW the more I find, really impressed and nothing but 5 star things to say about 2box. Unit is tough as a rock and the early HH problem I had was kindly and instantly addressed with a repair in the US. Sad to hear a lack of enthusiasm(?) for a product/company I love.

Curious when the D5 MKII and Speedlight kit were released? Seems they're less expensive now ($1800.00 if I've converted from Euros correctly) than my original unit.

Thanks for the replies. Peace.

Maybe they're working on something, and it's just not ready yet. I hope they don't end like ATV though: started kinda big and then went silent for what... 6 years?

Don't worry about that!

I sent 2box an e-mail about a week ago but I didn't get a response yet. I, however, did manage to mitigate the issue by adjusting the ride cymbal to make the edge easier to play.

I'm having lots of fun with the drumset, actually more than I ever did on an electronic drumset, but I still feel like I have to get used to bigger sizes and placement.

If you wanted to upgrade something, what would it actually be? I feel like the hi-hat stand would be one of those things and the fact that the snare is two zones only is kind of a bummer for me.

Ah, I am sorry. Yamaha trigger type wasn't the answer. Like I say it was a long time ago so I probably remembered it wrong.

I would send 2box an email, maybe they'll have some ideas.

General 2box Drumit 5 forum / Hihat calibration after 1.32 u...
Last post by JB - January 19, 2024, 07:38:43 AM
I found an answer - and a question. (the circle of life, holds up Simba)

After upgrade to 1.32, hihat only played open sound. Tried standard calibration cycle (HCAL menu. Press DATA button 3x while opening / closing hat at the appropriate time) to no avail.
Discovered through trial and error the answer is NOT in the HCAL menu.

1. page down to the HSET menu.
2. change HHPOS value from "0" to "Off"
3. Return to HCAL and run the calibration sequence. This fixes hihat calibration across all kits.

Very happy to discover a fix after an hour of experimenting!

However, my question: after DrumIt5 power cycle, the HSET > HHPOS value returns to "0".
Now that I've memorized the steps, the fix takes <30 seconds but really hope I'm missing something simple to force "HSET > HHPOS: Off" to a persistent setting.
