Already signed in puttenvr?
it looks a bit old-fashioned.
Yeah, I read it
It's not old fashioned at all
There's only a middle aged man on the cover
New and old e-drums are published, and there is an article about amplification

Hi there,
I'm Allan and I'm the editor of digitalDrummer.
The first edition features articles on a range of topics:
* Pearl's entry into the e-drum market with its E-Pro Live kit.
* Yamaha's DTX-M12 is put through its paces in our first gear review.
* Meet Tom Roady, a pioneer of electronic percussion and a widely respected musician.
* Roland's TD-8 module is still sought-after, long after its withdrawal. We examine its ongoing appeal.
* Find out why Kit Toys disappeared - and if they'll be back.
* Who is Keith Raper? Meet the man behind the circuit.
* All that - and so much more - in the debut edition of digitalDrummer
The magazine is totally free. You simply need to register with an email and password - we need that so we can tell you when the next one goes live. You can unsubscribe at any time.
I'm hoping to have a full 2Box review in the second edition.
Come on over to www.digitaldrummermag.com (http://www.digitaldrummermag.com) - you'll find we're anything but old-fashioned. Cutting-edge publishing technology and a fresh approach to drumming and music journalism with some of the big names of the industry among our contributors.
See you there (and here!)
Hi Allan
Thanks for dropping by :). Consider me signed up!
The emag thing is an interesting format, but is there any way to get the content on my phone?
hope the magazine does well!
cheers
Tom

Hi Allen,
I like the idea of a magazine like this.
I only looked at the cover, I didn't read it yet.
It was first impression of the "looks" of the magazine.
I Still find that it could be more 2010 in combination with more tech looks.
BUT, it's only a detail. ;)
Thanks for the feedback. We'll certainly try and make it look as cutting-edge as possible.
The next cover will have Chester Thompson on it - ex-Genesis and Phil Collins. He's one impressive drummer and a big fan of electronics.
An old man, again ::)
I assume you're talking about me?
Hey puttenvr - no stone-throwing in glass houses please :P
The youngsters keep silent
And agree ...

Number 002 just released
You're quick off the mark:
Bigger and better than the launch edition, this month's magazine includes an in-depth interview with Chester Thompson, the former Genesis and Phil Collins drummer and an e-drums enthusiast from way back.
There's the first comprehensive comparison of mesh heads, with digitalDrummer testing several of the best-known brands on the market.
Headphones are the focus of a Special Report, and we profile some of the popular models best suited to e-drumming, while also explaining the differences between the various types. There's also some sound advice on auditioning headphones.
This edition also includes everything you wanted to know and were afraid to ask about VSTs – as well as a profile of an amateur user.
There's heaps of good advice in the DIY section as well as a road test of Jman's stealth acoustic cymbal conversion kit.
In the training area, we review a DVD training pack and provide a special discount to readers who want to order a set. There's also a step-by-step guide to notation and our lesson covers the Bossa Nova.
There are lots of familiar names and faces from vdrums.com!
Read all this and more in the April edition of digitalDrummer.
Still no 2Box review - even though I have been promised a review kit!!! Keep watching this space...
How can I read the first issue?
One of the tabs give you the option to view back issues...
COOMING SOON, it says

The Johnny Rabb edition was a promotional issue produced for market research. If you email me, I'll provide a link off-air.
And, by the way, to those critics who commented on the "old men" on the covers, I think Oli is on the right side of 40...
Enjoy
Allan
PS: Still waiting for a review 2Box kit!!!!
Thanks in advance
New issue Digital Drummer is online

Hopefully, a 2box review in the January edition!!
(http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss257/bigalinoz/DDM-Cover-Feb2011.jpg)
The latest edition of digitalDrummer is now live, and 2box gets a couple of mentions
The February issue looks at some of the innovations unveiled at NAMM.
After the huge interest in our comparison of mesh heads last year, we listen closely to e-cymbals in a comprehensive analysis of stick noise on the most popular models out there,.
And the cymbal coverage also includes a review of two new VST offerings from names generally associated with acoustics – Bosphorus and Zildjian..
Our profiled artists are two very different musicians – percussionist and 2box endorsee Pete Lockett and Irish folk drummer Frank Jooss – and there are a few surprises in both interviews.
Also, go behind the scenes at the Second International Vdrums Collaboration, and see Dannii's Monster Kit.
Read all this and more in the latest edition of digitalDrummer, and you can also win a dozen pairs of custom drumsticks by flipping through our stick comparison feature.
We're sure there's plenty to keep you informed and entertained in the latest issue.
The magazine is totally free, but you are required to register. Those already registered will soon get an email alert.
Enjoy!
Still no 2Box review?
We want to know how good this kit is ;D

Your wish is my command. Right now, I have a 2box kit set up and in review mode, so all will be revealed in the May issue. Just one question for those of you with the kit: do you find the headphone output really soft? I'm not sure if it's the review kit or the settings (I have cranked everything up all the way), but I'm finding the headphone volume very quiet...
hello....
very quiet is surprising ... for some kits i have to go up to eleven , but usually 3/4 is ok... i use DT770M 80ohm ... did you try to increase the gain settings on the triggers ?

what impedance are your headphones?
No, with a Sennheiser headphone it's even quite loud
Never go beyond 75% of the volume
On my Beyerdynamic dt250 it is loud to, usually have the volume on 75-85%
I usually use Audio Technica ATH 910 Pros which are plenty loud with my TD-20, but very soft on the 2box. So I've tried some cheap Phillips headphones which are a bit better.
Now the learning curve begins...
the ATH 910 Pros are only 40 Ohm impedance, and should be plenty loud enough with the 2 Box.
something is amiss...

Let us know if we can help
Some of us haven been playing this kit for over a year :patbat2box:

No, 50 or max 75 percent works fine for me (Sennheiser CX 90 IEM).
Same here, headphone output is very loud (too loud!) on max using both Audio Technica ATH-M50's (40 ohm roughly) and Legacy PH-250's (60 ohms) . Remember output volume will depend on the ohm rating of your headphones - the higher the ohms the harder the headphones will be to drive. If your headphones are 250/600 ohm then you'll need a headphone amp to boost the signal.
I'm not 100% up on things like this, but I'm sure the guys here will correct me if I'm wrong :)

Hi there...
I signed up for your mag last week.....it's got some interesting stuff in there....
One question......downloading it.......it give you the save option, but thats it....it doesnt download in pdf....
Any ideas ?
thanks
As far as I remember you must first read it on screen and then SAVE WHOLE MAGAZINE
(or something like that)
nope.....still can't download it...
nope.....nope.....got it.......you have to go through the sample section !!!
Okay, there are two versions of the magazine - one which you can access without registering at www.issuu.com (this is sample) then there's the full issue at www.digitaldrummermag.com for which you have to register.
Once you've logged in an gone to the current edition, there is a "save" button. Once you've clicked that, you need to choose between "save entire magazine" or save selected pages". Just one warning - if you've saved a previous issues, the new magazine will over-write it. So you may want to go to the "print" menu and choose to print as a PDF.
If that doesn't work, send me a PM...
Just a quick heads-up that the 2box kit is reviewed in the May issue of www.digitalDrummemag.com (http://www.digitaldrummermag.com).
To make sure that you don't miss it, why not subscribe now (it's totally free) and you'll get an email telling you when the May issue goes live.
In the meanwhile, anyone who hasn't seen the magazine can check out all the back issues.

I resemble that remark,( I'm 55) :P
Snyde
The new magazine with 2Box review is out now
http://www.digitaldrummermag.com/
(but the link loads the previous issue, not the magazine we want)
Hi guys,
There are two ways to access the magazine: one requires registration, the other doesn't. Both are free.
When you go to the home page, you can click on the "click here" box below the cover image to log in (or register, if you haven't already done so). Once you've registered and logged in, you get to the current issue (and access to all back issues in the interactive format).
The text alongside the cover image includes a link to a free "sampler" issue. This is posted simply to show what awaits if you register.
Why do you need to register? If you don't register, we can't alert you when the next issue goes live. If you had a subscription to a hard-copy magazine, you would need to provide a mailing address. In the same way, we need to be able to send you new editions.
We guarantee that log-in information will not be shared with any third parties. Neither will we use your email for anything other than to let you know when a new edition is live.
So, to read the current edition in full - including the 2box review, please visit www.digitaldrummermag.com, register or log in and enjoy.

And, by the way, the link to the sample issue should be correct - you may have to clear your cache if you have accessed it previously.
yep it works
