Don't be alarmed .... It is only a test! yeah, they decided to see what the response would be to different color 2Box drums ..... I suggested they might try Black, White, Silver/Gray .... ;D And yes as the links to US retailer ads that others have already displayed suggest ..... the 2Box kits and modules have arrived in the US .... a few days ago the containers arrived.(http://i1296.photobucket.com/albums/ag19/JmanWord/2BoxatNAMM2013_zps5f213675.jpg) (http://s1296.photobucket.com/user/JmanWord/media/2BoxatNAMM2013_zps5f213675.jpg.html)
J, Are these drums we are looking at or Lifesavers? God bless Bengt. He couldn't care less what anybody thinks. Gotta give him credit and after the word get's out some more, they will sell with zebra stripes and purple pokadots! The more I stick around, the more I realize that this guy is a real innovator and sharp as hell with e drums
Ilike the green one well the darker green one glow in the dark green would be cool... The color should be matched for thebdrums and module tough
i vote for purple!
Bonhams Ludwig Vistalite's colour ... Oaw, orange. ::) :P
and look they are back for NAMM 2014! - http://youtu.be/qquYPX-liV8
Somehow good to see the design has not changed over the past 2 years. :)
...I'd like to have a big, green, 14" lifesaver, please!
Wait, what....?
;D
*sigh.......I guess I'll continue to DIY for the look. ::) Not a fan of the continuing "Rock Band" theme. If they would just make these polished or brushed aluminum...they would appeal to such a larger demographic and take on whatever color anyone wanted to light their room or kit with so these silly "I hate the color" conversations would just disappear. ::) Then maybe folks would concentrate on all the great things this module has to offer. ::)
I kinda get the shock value to gain exposure.....but isn't the bottom line sales? Let the module speak for the system....it's more than capable to do so on it's own without drawing unwanted negative attention.
A friend over here has a car workshop with paintfacilities. Will discuss the possibility to powdercoat the module casing and pads in the most sexiest way one can think over. Overhauling to the max.
The colors on display are good as a teaser. It says fresh, daring and exciting, like 2box. I always liked it in Orange myself but glow in the dark green or brushed aluminum would sure be tempting.

That would be nice, when using a sensible choice of colors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Shades_of_orange) of course ;D
I personally love the original orange, it's unique and bold. Having some really crappy skills in graphics I've tried to make a preview on what the 2box would look like.. No copyright infringement intended :)
The first is the original, second is supposed to be brushed aluminium but.. oh well :)

Great job! Orange is not that bad. :)
That is so cool. I like most of them. It would be cool if they came out with interchangeable shell covers and module colors. I am sure aftermarket could pick up on this. If I wasn't so tech challenged, coming up with these might be the way up and out of the G. A. S. causing financial mess I find myself in !
nocturnodrummer,
thank you for doing this!
I would like to see more graphical ideas like this! :)
:rock:
Grey, black makes them less outstanding. I wonder how White would look.
Yeah, just like a typical Roland kit.. ;D I've tried white but with my skills it looked so bad that I've decided not to post the results :-[ I wonder how sparkle finishes would look like ;) orange sparkle would be awesome !

A 'Pure White' finish will probably bilge (turn yellow) too fast, over time (in the same fashion Roland's silver-colored cymbals did). - that might be a problem...
I'd go with something 'Off-White'-finished to begin with - like an 'Ivory' color!

Depends on environment and quality of the paint. I guess the color White on aluminium will stick longer then the plastic coloured stuff from Roland.

Powdercoat on metal is much more robust that plastic wrap...that's why the use it on motorcycle frames and such. Most any color using that system would probly outlast the pads themselves. ;)

Pure White:

Off-White:
(http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af122/danoh_forum/vdrums%202box/2boxkitoff-white_zpsb681085c.jpg)
...and here's a 'Cream'-colored finish:
(http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af122/danoh_forum/vdrums%202box/2boxkitcream_zps8bcf498c.jpg)
I guess my imagination of 'Ivory' would be somewhere in the middle between 'Off-White' and 'Cream'...! :)
For me the bright white will work, maybe a tat cream.

I agree, I think the white would look good. Not that I don't like some of the multiple color choices you guys have shown in this thread, I do. But from a retail sales point I think something like white, black, or brushed nickel/aluminum ......something that didn't glow in the dark ;D would equate to a lot more sales.
Here's Nocturnodrummer's initial kit in 'Black', then a 'Dark Grey' done by me,
followed by a 'Lighter Grey', and the same 'Pure White' as above for reference:

All nice choices IMO
The black and white look spectacular! Personally I would like to see full chrome. That's kinda what always caught my eye with the Hart Hammered series.....and chrome snares or wrap. Chrome always looks great and very high end.
Yeah as long as we are putting in our pic orders, how about a chrome snare and module with a black kit and chrome snare and module with the standard orange, and while we are at it, chrome snare and module with a dark wine, bet they all would look hot! Boy, this thread is getting more action than a 22 year old chick with a nice set of roto toms and a fat bass throne thumper! Gotta keep laughing , right?
Now is probably a good time to say that 'Bare Aluminum' (...or 'Chrome' for that matter) is a b*tch to execute! :o
Hemiboy,
your suggestions will have to wait 'till a bit later tomorrow. ...Give me 12 hours, or so!
(http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af122/danoh_forum/vdrums%202box/2boxaluminum_zps0ab7e626.jpg)
I suspect that if Hoshino has any influence over product design, we will see two additional colours - black and white.
Danoh, that chrome looks cool, what do you think guys?

White seems to be "In" lately...but the Kat kit seems a....well...monochrome boring....I vote Chrome...Black...or a combo of the 2. ;)
I agree. I would like to check out the brushed aluminium (because it is made of aluminium), white and chrome. Not sure about black because all ekits are black.

Yea...that's because Black is classic and goes with anything. However glossy Black metal would sure be much nicer than black plastic...or wrap. :) However..I have always said that the raw brushed/polished aluminum would look great.
Took me a whole while longer, due to some other duties - apologies for that - but there we go... a couple more:

For the 'standard orange', I took exactly that - the picture of the 'standard orange' kit!
For the Black and Wine-Red kits, I took Nocternodrummer's versions, for the sake of convenience ...slightly re-adjusting the color of the Red kit, to make it look more Wine-Red!
QuoteBoy, this thread is getting more action than a 22 year old chick with a nice set of roto toms and a fat bass throne thumper!

Liking the Wine red. They would match in with my Yamaha Recording Custom Cherry kit.
Here's a challenge, How about a kit and module with Burled walnut finish similar to the dashboard in a old Jaguar. :)

*However* I came up with the folowing finish, while experimenting around. It looks kinda cool, like some kind of Walnut-wood, or fancy veneer!

Yeah !!! now were talkin ! Lovin that immensely :rock:
If it looks like fine furniture maybe our partners would let us have it in the lounge ha ha !
Danoh, Thanks for those illustrations of different color combos with the chrome snare and module . I like that look with the original orange and of course with black . When you are not too busy see if you can make that dark wine darker with the chrome and chrome unless we have to start paying, ya! Kudos, though bro, and thanks again to you and Murgen for your ideas here! And Jman for starting this thread. I really enjoy this forum, even though my old lady thinks I have a mistress cus I am sending posts all the time! She thinks I'm nuts and I know I am! Drums are the best!
Hemi,
Is this red dark enough...?

Yeah, beautiful, Danoh . I am partial to the metal snare look as I am playing the Ludwig champagne sparkle kit with the chrome snare that my parents got me in 1966. It is now electrified ala Jman and I love it !. I am now a young, 60. How's that for cool? My next kit would definitely be a chrome or brushed stainless snare with 2 up and 2 down in the dark dark burgundy.
A Sparkle finish will truly be a challenge.
In case I ever get it somewhat 'proper', I'd definitely like to viualize a Champagne-Sparkle 2box!

Hmmm, How about Gold Sparkle pads & module with dark blue Mesh heads like Tutankhamuns mask. :)
what about dark green lizzard skin ? :)
If we had like half shells like a drum tec diablo or the Roland bigger shells , the colors could pop more because simply, there would be more to see so I can now see why 2 box wanted to break away from the black to really be unique. Anyway, the pads are the size that they are. I would really just like areal shiny chrome snare and module not even a brushed aluminum or nickel just good old fashioned chrome!

I'll do it - under two conditions:
1. You make good use of that 'applaud' button, bumping my 'karma' up...
2. You tell me where you did get BLUE mesh heads from, and reveal the source to all of us...!
Do we have a deal?

I can definitely hit the applaud button, but the Blue mesh heads are only available in my head at the moment. Purely wishful thinking on my part. But if they can produce them in black and white, I don't see why the head manufacturers couldn't produce them in other colors. Other than it's a limited market versus the cost of producing other colors.
heading for the applaud button now :)

No doubt there will be some folks that want custom colors and I shutter to think...colored heads....but this seems more of a 3rd party customizing market to me for those that don't mind the outrageous "Toy" look. I hope if 2Box does venture into more colors that they take a more sensible approach to reach a wider demographic since e-drums can be considered a niche market already....or maybe have a "special Custom Order" service in addition to their standard stock kits.
On that note of all these cool prints.....how about Hydro Dipping. ;)

Hmmm, Yes you have a point. Gold plated is what I should have said for that ultimate bling factor HA HA ;D
Sorry Danoh,
Got wrapped up with work. I don't think it is possible to show chrome instead of brushed aluminum that you have so nicely shown, but that's what I meant by true chrome and the dark wine has turned into a real dark, dark maroon now1 Don't pay any attention to me. I might be hallucinating , I'm not sure. After seeing the lizard skin, I thought I might be able to squeeze one more out of ya. lol
What I learn from this useful exercise with our personal Master of Colours is that the pads are relatively small and merely add a touch in colour. It would be great if the snare-rim would be standard chrome or just brushed aluminium - and as a result make the parallel to the acoustic snares. Change the colour of the module. Pianoblack looks cool, even with the orange display on the front, quite classy in fact. The others pads, I do not care too much but with a metal snare look changing those into metal as well or white would be my way to go.
On the other hand, it is my practise kit and it is the sound and feel that matters. The lightshow on the DSP-modules is drawing the looks, not the colour of the pads.
Coming back at you all... :)
Here's the request by Nocternodrummer, 'Orange Sparkle':
(http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af122/danoh_forum/vdrums%202box/2boxkitorangesparkle_zps59d0e3a4.jpg)
...a 'Hydro Dipping' kit (as suggested by Fulrmr).

"LOOK Ma', my kit got EYES....!" :o
:D :D
I think I'll have another go at Hemi's 'Wine Red', then maybe the trying of 'True' chrome!
Still open for suggestions....
:)
Those hydros are pretty cool too. I never thought I would say this but maybe after getting used to the orange, I really like it with chrome snare look, but I still think the ass kicker is the dark, dark burgundy wine and as they might say in Germanish, Mit Za Chromenhoff snarenheizer. No offense my German brothers! Just going a little cu koo that's all !
Another take at 'Wine Red'.
Not with any Chrome at this point - I will have to take another shot at Chrome as well.
In the meantime, tell me if the 'Burgunder' suits you! ;)
Have a drink on me...:

...and here's a 'Silver Sparkle' (a rather grainy one), for a change:

DanohI dont know if it will let you make the maroon almost black red if you know what I mean with the chrome, now I see that I am saying red so you have been giving me red. Not red dark burgundy, like a 1967 Chevy malibu super sport, with a chrome snare
Hemi would you have me an example picture of the 'black red' color that you have in mind?
Up until now I assumed a 'Yamaha Recording Cherry Wood' color... ;)
I saw them on either Diamond or Jobekys website, I am gonna take a peek now
Danoh,
Look on Diamond drums website and there are two one is called wine shimmer and the other one, the more I am looking at it on a kick with a wooden hoop, is almost f---n purple which i dont like as much. Sorry , I am a moron on a computer, so I can't provide you with a url like a sensible person could . But if you find it , that should end my pain. lol!
Greetings everybody! - A couple more finishes for you to enjoy!
Here's a dark green (as suggested by Lustar) in a 'Green Glass' version:

Next, a purple color (as suggested by fishmonkey).
This one is a little textured. It's courtesy of Jammin' Sam drumwraps, and is called 'Purple Metal':
(http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af122/danoh_forum/vdrums%202box/2boxkitpurplemetal_zps9a615eed.jpg?t=1391640163)

'Mirror Chrome':

Yep. I might would even pick up a full kit...or at least some pads.....if they were chrome. ;)
Yeah, The chrome is hot. After looking at all the suggested combos I like the chrome on all the pads and module only with a black rack, but a chrome snare and module with dark burgundy, or black or even the standard orange with either rack would be ok. I don't know that I would go back to those standard pads after playing on full size shells for a while again.

A chrome side snare might be nice? I would even use the 2 box pad for that
nice color combinations give me some new idea's!
Purple is really nice ! what about a golden kit for the fifth anniversary ?

Hehe...cool idea! - 'Anniversary Gold'
Fulrmr suggested Gold Plated, something. Does this come close?
Happy celebrating everybody! 8)

The gold looks great but we need a black rack with that, no? . Who knew we were this creative, and they say drummers just like to hit stuff! This thread is getting some mileage. Keep it up, and let's see a black rack with that gold. Great job, Danoh, you're the man!
Hey Danoh, why not send these to Bengt at 2 box itself, and see what he says or does ? I think his response might surprise all of us! See what happens.
The gold kit and chrome kit are my favs so far. Nice and shiny...very classy.
Here's a 'Zebra'-striped kit: :D (...as suggested by Hemiboy)

Don't hang that Zebra, on me, lol. That is truly scary!! That must have been one of our other partners in crime! My last request was Fulmr's gold with the black rack, and chrome plated with a black rack!
Hemi, the black rack will have to wait just a little...
It doesn't take my crystal-ball to forsee that this will be a whole lot of work (...just to get that rack separated from the background) ...and then, while the tubes may be easy, there's still the darn clamps to go black, as well... :o :o
Chances are, of course, once you saw it, you realize just how 'Roland' it really looks, and a black rack suddenly isn't so appealling anymore...! ;)
(...just as with the request of Orange cymbals, which just screams "toy-cymbal" and "Medeli junk") ;D ::)
The hell with it Danoh, you have done enough. You had to have posted 20 different combos, right? Let's leave something up to our imaginations! Appreciate what you were able to put together! Because I dont have any rtech skills, I am throwing around suggestions with no idea what it takes to get the job done. My Dad and brothers always said I made a better foreman than a worker. lol!
Zebra is great !! :rock:
I don't know about great, but , different, absolutely! I guess it could grow on you, but so could lesions.lol. To each his own!
Here's an attempt to do a finish by Diamond-Drums:
'Wine Shimmer'

This Danoh Music Store can't get anything right! I distinctly remember ordering my wine shimmer kit with a chrome snare. Sometimes you just can't get good customer service, LOL! Danoh, all kidding aside, that's the color, bro, I kept calling dark wine! You nailed it! Thanks again!
Black...? Or Chrome...?
How about: 'Black Chrome'...?

We offer a 24-hour 'Product Return Guarantee', ...but a 'Half Refunds Only' policy, though... 8)
The 'Satisfaction Guaranteed' finish! :D

Nice Danoh, what do you think of that? If your not a fan of dark burgundy, what do you like? I definitely like the chrome snare or the more I look the brushed aluminum better, combined with the other color pads. If I had a good buddy on this forum, I would probably ask him for one last shot with the wine shimmer with the brushed aluminum snare instead of the chrome, but only if he was a buddy!
Not to bad!
What finish do I like? Hard question....really!
I wouldn't know how to sum it up in one word...
I like a nice natural finish, like on the lower-end Yamaha Stage Customs or the Pearl Visions (...the 'Natural Birch').
I also like Recording Customs in 'Cherry Wood'. There were RC's in Yellow, Blue, White - and while they all looked nice in Yamaha's catalogs, it was the Cherry-color that really became a classic, a standard, or an aquainted taste - a color that I've associated with RC's for the last 25+ years.
I absolutely *love* a nice wrap!
The older wrap-finishes on the lower-end Pearl kits - 'Ferrari Red', 'Pacific Blue', 'Charcoal', 'Mirror Chrome' (...and later 'Stainless Steel') - got me *drooling* in my youth!!! They do look a bit 'bland' by today's standards, though.
Tama never really did it for me, as far as 'Japanese'-finishes (or rather: companies) go...
As soon as they started with all the 'Fades' and the 'Bursts', they had me lost...
Later I discovered an interest in classic 'American' finishes ...mostly after I found out that Pearls 'Strata Black' finish is actually a 'blue Ringo finish', akin to Ludwig ...and the Visions' 'Champagne Sparkle' was a finish originally done by Gretsch!
I'm a sucker for 'Sky Blue Pearl', 'Black Diamond Pearl' or any kind of Oysters. Also Ludwig's 'Psychodelic' wraps - namely the 'Citrus Mod' and 'Mod Orange' finishes!
They're groovy.... 8)
So you see, if I had to sum it up in one word, I'd say I like 'nostalgic' finishes. I can't be bothered with 'modern' finishes... :o ::)
(okay.... what was that with the 'Worms' and the 'Cans' again...?)
HTH

Yeah, why not! 8) Like so?

Yeah that was a misprint on my former post! It was supposed to say, Boy, that Danoh Music Store never fails to deliver. Finally my Wine Shimmer with stainless snare and module is in stock and it is beautiful You're the man, Danoh! Thanks!
Still here...
Had a blast doing a re-color in two classic Rogers wraps!
'Blue-White Onyx':

Has anyone actually painted their 2box kits? I'm thinking of spray painting the rims black.
Some guys have, and I would think it would be no big deal to take them apart ,rough them up with a little emery or sandpaper. Prime them and spray them . One guy here had a friend in the auto body business do his
The Logo's of my pads came off automatically, perhaps you're so lucky they do too. Otherwise, try warming them up a little (don't melt them and take care of the triggers and the rest)
I remember seeing this one a while ago that the UK distributor posted up. http://instagram.com/p/nKzZEeFcgY/?modal=true
