accessing all 3 cymbal sounds - newbie

I'm a total newbie in the e-drum world and just got a used 2box module (based on all the good things I've heard about it) and am considering getting a set of Dauz pads to trigger it. Apparently the Dauz pads are not multi-zone but have some kind of velocity sensitivity that somehow allows the player to access different sounds via dynamics. On their site, Dauz offers two preconfigured setups, one using Dauz pads for all sounds (snare, toms, hi-hat and cymbals) and another that substitutes Yamaha 3-zone cymbal pads for the hat and two cymbals.

Does anyone know if a single Dauz pad could be used to access all three sounds in the 2box cymbal channel? Sorry if any of this sounds moronic, but I'm just getting started and am trying to avoid any unnecessary blind alleys.

First , those are single zone triggers , so not possible to trigger the 3 zones ...

Second , those pads are very expensive for what they are ...  for the same price you ll get new 2BOX mesh pads ...

if you like rubber pads , take some second hand roland PD8 or 7 , you ll get 4 for the price of one DAUZ , and they are dual zone ( piezo switch ) ... you can use them for crash cymbal , with bow and edge sound ( in cyEdge mode )

Thanks for the advice. I was looking at Dauz because they have a reputation of being very tough and reliable. Any other choices in addition to the Rolands?

I came a crossed these lately, but i don't know anything about them other then what the websight says, which claims there compatible with 2box module.

Yes but only 2 zone like every other non-2box cymbal.
