2Box Drumit 5 MIII rack

[boekhour]

Ha ha, slammed through the original bassdrum head last week. Ordered a really good double layered head from this store, special for 2box, works better then the original head.

I'm going to implement the ideas from your post with better mounting from bassdrum also. Will submit pictures soon!

Hi there, here is another update showing the benefit of the nifty Mk III design. I added an old side-tube from the MI in the MII rack and use it to mount the Zildjian DSP and Pearl Throne Thumper unit. Yes, you are looking to the one of the best setups in e-kit county. Used 2 chrome Gibraltar clamps.

That's a very nice setup!

Love the Allen & Heath mixer, the rack, and the way that UFO-looking metronome seems to 'float' on your music-stand!

Murgen,

What do you recommend out of these tube options for the kick?

The original 2Box bar is slightly curved and ~ 105 - 110 cm length (can't remember exactly and missing a measuring tape at this moment). That is 43 inch. I would try the 46 inch curved tube but I can't tell the tubes are equally curved. Is there a shop where you can compare a 2Box tube with the Gibraltar tube?

Here is the pic from the MkI which clearly shows the tube I used:

Unless I'm mistaken....Gibraltar ( &most "curved" rack tubes) are at a 15 degree radius. Seems to be a standard.

Is this strictly for mounting the kick? Or are you building a whole new rack for mixer, module, etc?

Thank you Murgen! Yes I have a shop close by that I can do a compare.
Hemiboy - Just want reinforce  the kick. Way to much flexing going on, especially with the Tball Beater

[Murgen]

The MkI tube was a close fit, with a slightly longer tube it will be easy. And prolly fulrmr is right and is the curve angle identical.
