I remember 8 years ago when I got my first drumit 5 module, I had a beautiful Roland set with the pd-x pads and was so dissapointed that it was not possible to use them with the module, the rim-head separation wasn't there and ended up selling the roland pads and bought the 2box pads.
Now, 8 years after I just cannot say how satisfied I am with the drumit 3 and its compatibility with the roland pd-108, 128 series which have a much hotter rim hahaha, the LXTR is just magic and now I have clean separation between head and rim, trigger a loop on the rim and don't be afraid to trigger a spock cymbal assigned to the head. Works on the snare and toms, and even if you can't get it right on the toms it doesn't matter since you are going to split the input to use another cymbal or pad.
Huge selling point for 2box, I just wish they were more aggressive in the market, specially in the US, nobody knows them there...
Hey, good to hear great positive response about the DI3. Yeah you're right, they could benefit from some marketing. I am sure a lot of sales are the result of users like us telling folk with older kit where the module is sounding dated but the pads are still holding up that for a mere £700 you can bring a new lease of life to that set up!
Newbie here - I just heard about 2box 3 and 5 over the weekend. I spent hours on YouTube checking out these amazing products. I’m playing a set of Roland mesh heads with the expanded TD9 module.
Are they compatible with the Drumit 3? Thank you.

To a point, major differences are the way the cymbals and Hi Hat are handled. The Hi Hat will only work with my Stealth 2Box HH Stand Conversion Kit or Zourman's box. Crashes are simple enough when set to PS or CyEdg type they will trigger Bow/Edge/Choke just like on the Roland module. But 3 zone Ride you would use the Bow/Bell input of the cymbal and set it to CyCup if you have a 2 jack Roland type Ride and you will get Bow/Bell ... no edge or choke.
Hi!
Besides the Stealth HH kit and the Zourman HH module there is also a Roland 3 Zone Ride or ATV conversation module for 2box DI5 available. It converts the three zones to 2box 3 zone format.
If using Drumit 3 most Roland gears will run natively directly without any modules.

Agreee. My point was about PDX pads not cymbals (and of course, not hi-hat), which I actually don't use except maybe as a splash sometimes :) For Yamaha experience is quite opposite: their cymbals are much better (OK, no 3 zones, but choke works) but their silicon pads are less sensitive and need adjustments.
