Crack in the Mesh!

[Daniel]

hi,


i just noticed the is a very very little crack in the mesh of one tom.

its just one "thread" which is cracked, but i am afraid it might get bigger.

i always used new smooth sticks. anyone know what to do?

maybe put some tape on the area?

cheers,
dan

Hi
I had the same problem with the head of my snare pad, the hole did not seem to get bigger.
I finally changed it because of the double triggering that the head created for a Vdrum Roland head.

[Daniel]

well, i guess its hard to get replacement part at the moment since even the kits are very rare.


some official word on this?

Danny where do you live? it might be worth sending Scottie a PM as he works for the uk distribution of 2box.

[Daniel]

I am from Germany.

I already contacted Hyperactive in Germany because of the Hithat, but got no answer.

Thanks

jessjess got the same thing on first tom I dont use very often. first I`ve noticed crack and then after hitting for 10 min  or so it became to be bigger. after then I taped it as regular head. problem continued....I had many other little cracks after that showed up next. after many same kind of tapeings its looks like to be repeared. as new kit on market can`t wait for new mesh. can anyone recomend other mesh heads? roland for example. good thing is that after taping sound didn`t changing too much.

[Daniel]

hey guys,

the crack is now gone larger and worse too. its about 3x5cm now.

does anyone know if these will fit and work on the 2box?

Danny, you probably already know but as long as the replacement heads are 'normal' for acoustic drums you can use on the 2Box, so mesh, rubber, and acoustic heads. So you could use pinstripes, any kind of mesh etc. Be aware of actual acoustic noise though if using rubber or standard heads.

[Daniel]

yeah i was just wondering because i never removed a mesh from a edrum before and have no idea how its looks when i remove the screws from the outer rings. but i guess its just similar to accoustic drums, i bet one could even put a pantyhose on it and it will work.

btw, iam a guitarrist and the 2box are my first steps in the drumland :-). i am so glad that i was born in these "high technology" days and can play with that great sound direct in my room.
