What do you use to mount the drumit 5 module ?

 I've planned to get a 2Box module in a couple of months along with a custom kit (Diamond drums + A to EZ cymbal) and i wonder what I can get in order to keep the module close enough from me without using a rack.

Roland is selling the PDS 10 and I wonder if it is suited to mount the 2Box module on it or if someone have another solution.

Thanks

I had an extra Pintech universal edrum module mount plate laying around. So I used that for my 2nd module. I had to drill new holes to correspond to the mounting screws of the Drumit Five, but it works great. Mine is mounted on my rack with a rack clamp, but once you have a module mount plate on the module you just need a multi clamp to attach it to a cymbal stand or tom stand etc...

Pic of the module mount with new holes drilled about halfway through the thread:

Handy multi-clamp for stand mounting:

Oh, and in answer to the PDS-10 stand .... that and most module mounts have the 4 holes .... pretty universal for most edrum modules including drum modules, HPD-15, SPD- S ... Roland, Yamaha, Alesis modules etc....
the PDS-10 has holes same as that Pintech universal mount I referred to .... so NO that module mount would not mount the module without some modification like I did to the Pintech mount ... The mounting holes are different on the 2Box module as you can see from my pics.
I could tell you where to stick that piezo! :D ;)

Thank you both for your answers.
Things are quiet clear now.
Module mount plate and multiclamp seems the way to go but i'll have to check once I have gather everything together.

I cannot find a Pintech module mount here in Europe so I'll go for a Roland MDP7 to mount the module on a rack.

It's quiet the same plastic mount that Yamaha provides with the DTX900 module.

I Will have to drill it but that's not a problem.

 ALESIS is selling a cheaper modulemount than Roland ....  It s listed 9,90€ by Musicstore ....

You ll just have to drill new holes for the 2BOX module ....

I used an el cheapo laptop stand lower base with tubing from cymbal stands and rack tubes together with a no name multiclamp, the 2box clamp and module mount. :patbat2box:

I've done away with my rack since it's a flimsy Mk I.
My solution is a Gibraltar cymbal arm/tom L-arm clamp attached to a stand. The spade shaped hex-bar from the module will fit snugly into it. I use a clamp that swivels at both ends for easy adjustment.
