hello

I own a DRUMIT 5 and a DTXPLORER module , i use them with DIY pads . What i can tel is :


1)if the cymbals yamaha 155 are working with the 2box's module

b)the choke is working?

Yes , i ve read in the forum that some use them with success . You just have a small and easy mod to do . Have a search here , Manfred did a topic on this ... choke would also work ...

In fact , any E-cymbal  using a piezo + edge switch should work at least for 2 zones + choke
For 3 zones , the piezo has to be located close to the bell



3)are the 2boxs' pads and cymbals working and fully responding with any yamaha's module(dtxpress or dtxplorer)?

Yamaha dtxplorer needs piezo sensor for HEAD and a switch for RIM , so it s not the same design than the 2 box module ( 2BOX pads are piezo/piezo)...

so they are partially compatible with YAMAHA dtxplorer .... but usable as "one zone" pads... 

   if you plan to use head +rim , it s possible to use a Y cable and 2 tom inputs from dtxplorer ... or tu use a stereo cable connected to the KICK input , which is a dual input on the dtxplorer

2BOX Cymbals   should work with dtxplorer , as 2zone + choke
