Thanks for replies guys. To be honest, i havent had that problem for hmm 4 years? Sth like that.. So I assume it's not a calibration issue...  it worked well for that long and i changed nothing in my setup. I think that its something physical. Maybe the cymbal flexes on the mount, hall sensor rises up a bit in relation to the magnet and it's identified as a chick sound. I wilk try to take the cymbal apart and investigate it further.

Hello guys!

Last night I experienced problems with my hi hat cymbal. When I hit the cymbal with my stick I sometimes get chick sound... It only happens when the cymbal is closed. I tried different calibration positions, like stepping on pedal lightly or hard during calibration. The problem is occurring occasionally , but sometimes few times in a row, like something is misaligned inside the cymbal. When I flexed the cymbal slightly upward on the playing side it seemed to help for some time. I don't know what to do... I haven't checked the hall sensor inside the hi hat yet but it worked 95% of the hits... Has anyone experienced similar issues?

Another problem is the rubber wear... I always hit one side of the cymbal because it plays best on that particular area. I want to try to rotate the rubber by 90 or 180 degrees to prolong cymbal life. Is it hard to dismantle the cymbal? Any tips how to take the rubber off without damaging the piezo etc?

Thanks guys for any tips

please search the forum, that is a know issue to some of us, especially me. You can browse through my posts specifically. Read the threads and hit us back if you have any question. I also recommend you contact 2box Sweden directly for advice.

Hey. Could you explain the difference between drumasonic 2 and luxury? Are those based on the same samples? Or are those entirely different kits?

it works now. I copied the link and change it manually

here is the working link

That transcend card i bought worked perfectly for some time. But yesterday in went nuts. I copied new files on it and maybe  windows did  some mojo on it. I will  reformat it and hit you back. I even have the access time tests but forgot about my promise, sorry...

Very, it is a matter of soldering four cables ;-)

Sorry to tell you, but I think that one of the parts in your hi hat has fried up. It is called hall sensor, and it's a small chip that, putting it plainly, measures magnetic field and converts it to voltage output. In that way module can interpret position of your cymbal. Search for my posts and you will find my thread with this problem. 2box even updated the circuit board once and it broke too in my case... So there is really no solution here. They sent me a new one free of charge but they were quite shocked that it happened again.

I recommend that you contact 2box directly and your distributor as well if you still have a warranty. There should be no problem in sending you a new circuit board. As for the solution on how to avoid the problem in the future, I came up with my own routine. Since the problem never occured while playing I came to the conclusion that the part fails either on the module start-up or shutdown. So, I power up my module and when the OS has loaded I then plug up my hi hat cable. Also, before turning it off, I disconnect my hi hat cable. So the point is that there is no physical connection with the module. It's been working so far but it's not an absolute. We'll see, maybe 2box will figure it out eventually.

To my knowledge, 2box accepts program change midi commands. I did it in cubase and it worked. Could you tell me the name of that midi device you use? I would be interesting in sth similar.

hmm, unlimited?

All toms from Addictive drums have rim shot sampled and available.Well, the only one that hasn't is the brushed premier kit from jazz library. It has sort of like a flam instead.

OK guys, I think I have found something reaaaaaal good. I found a comprehensive test of sd cards with the access time inculded ! It's in Polish but I can translate it to you. It's 134 cards tested !

http://www.chip.pl/ranking/pamieci-masowe/karty-pamieci-flash-sd

Here you have a list of all the cards, you can filter the search, but unfortunately, not by access time. But you can narrow your search down to capacity, producer and price.

If you want to filter by price, click on the "Cena z VAT [zÅ,'" header on the list.

To check the individual parameters of a card click on name of the card on the list.

This takes you to an another website. Then you click on a tab "Specyfikacja i wyniki" and there you go.

What you need to look for is section called Czas dostępu (odczyt) [ms]. Let me translate it for you:

Code Select Expand

Czas dostÄ™pu (odczyt) [ms]            = Access time (read) [ms]
Åšredni         0,77 ms                    = Average  0,77 ms
NajdÅ,uższy 3,07 ms                    = Longest  3,07 ms
Najkrótszy 0,47 ms                    = Shortest 0,47 ms

From what I understand and read in the topic the best are the simplest cards meaning, SDHC and without all those super high speed technologies. The simplest seems to be the fastest.

I found a nice Transend card, it is still available in my country and it's very affordable:

http://www.chip.pl/testy/pamieci-masowe/karty-pamieci-flash-sd/transcend-sdhc-32gb-ts32gsdhc6/specification?switch_t=t

It's parameters are :

Czas dostÄ™pu (odczyt) [ms]   
Åšredni           0,79 ms
NajdÅ,uższy   1,97 ms
Najkrótszy   0,54 ms

I chose that because it seems pretty consistent, the gap between the slower and longest is narrow

Your kingston card is listed here as wel (16gb version):

Czas dostÄ™pu (odczyt) [ms]   
Åšredni           1,85 ms
NajdÅ,uższy   9,61 ms
Najkrótszy   0,40 ms

The problem with this test is they are sometimes tested on different card readers:

Here is the parameter to look for:
Testowane z czytnikiem - Device used for testing   Sandisk SDDRX3-3IN1 (SDHC)

I post a test here of that Transcend card soon as I get one and compare it to the 2 box original one.

Cheers!

Hello guys, I'm in market for a memory card. Does anybody has a trusted card that is still widely available? I took a look at the Lexars but the 133 series is long gone.. Has anyone tested the Lexar Professional 633x series?

You can't really. You have to you a hosting site, I recommend Imgur. Then you have to provide us with a link to the image and put it in the that code

I did DIY one zone cymbals very easy and they work great. If you want ready made solutions, many people recommend kit toy cymbals:
