Title: My daughter broke it!
Post by: ashFromCov on December 22, 2015, 06:41:11 PM
Right, so my two year old daughter just bust my 2box hi-hat! She has spun it around to the point that the tiny connecting cables inside have all been ripped out!., due to the pick-ups being glued into the cymbal I can't get to anything to attempt a repair.,
Anybody know the best place to send it off to?

Many thanks!

Thanks for reply. I reckon I will probably get it repaired and then grab one of your hi-hat controllers In the new year if poss? To use with a jobeky "real feel" hat....

Could you message me details please?

Thanks

May I suggest when you order a new hi-hat, that you also get one of these:

So 2box won't deal directly and uk distributor can't fix as cables are ripped out from the piezo(layers are glued together so you can't get inside). Only answer , buy a new one!

Going to order a Jman controller very soon and use another hat/pad....  I know this subject is on here somewhere else,but, what's the best "real feeling" hi hat pad/cymbal around? Also most accurate?

Been looking towards one of the Jobeky "real feel" cymbals?... Anybody had hands on with these?

Cheers!

A real hi-hat set, with a piezo on the bow and a switch for the edge.

I've seen a hihat pad assembly pop up on eBay a few times. But the DIY Jman option could a more viable one. Also a company called Padtech make a hihat controller for 2box module too.
