What's this?
Is it selfmade by the Swiss distributor or produced by 2Box?

Nice thing! But I think you´ll need to modify the stand a bit, at least put the screws in an angle towards the floor or else the whole thing will likely slip away.
Just for your information guys:
I talked to the swiss distributor and he told me that this is a small series of brackets.
Not perfect.... but functional (original statement). Sold in Switzerland for around 70 Euros..
This works just fine...... it's stable and no movements at all. :)
And the best part of this story ..... it's for sale 8)

Very Nice! I have a similar setup without the small vertical bars. Where did you get those, or did you cut a 20" bar and make 2 smaller ones from it?

Yes, that's what I did...... a simple and easy solution.

well Rob, I never play those beautiful drums.
In a week maybe a few minutes...... that's just not right.
These drums need to be played over and over.
So the kit needs a owner who does beat them up. :animal:
I have made a kickdrum holder from my MK1 Snare stand and its working perfect, no more bouncing from the kickdrum,its attached to the MK2 drumrack.
can we see a photo? thanx
dunno. just upload it to imageshack and give us the link mate

Ok here are some photo's, see how it goes I use a rackclamp and a cymbal arm.
It works much better in this way, no more bouncing.

It comes from the mk1 snare stand, with a 2box cymbal arm connected to rack mount.
ok thanx for that mate
Any update on this? Has anyone bought one? if so, where from?
I would like one, please let me know
Sorry for exhuming this topic, but I was wondering if the standalone kick pad is still available for sale (on Triggerhead or everywhere else), because I'm still struggling with the MK II wobbling and I have no skills to try a personal mod :D
Thanks!
If you are willing to buy an extra curved bar, clamps and mount them I will post pictures of my mod. Works like a charm and since 2012 :)

That would be amazing :)
And if you would add a simple explanation about how to do it more kudos to you :D

Here we go. I got my hands on an extra curved front bar. Probably any curved bar will do (Gibraltar) as long as it is about 1 meter long (roughly taken). And 2 Rack-pipe clamps (SC-GRSRA) to connect the extra frontbar to the vertical bars. Pictures explain. Might have to fiddle a bit to get everything at the right high but it is fairly easy.
Now, here is the secret. I used an old bass-drum mount for a cowbell (Pearl but the Gibraltar equivalent is SC-268R BD) slotted in a Power Rack Multi-clamp from Gibraltar (SC-GPRMC). Just strip the mount until you have the rod and use the rubber side to fix your kick in position. Picture is taken from above.
IMHO this is the most solid solution for a wobbly kick. I took the pic's in a hurry. Feel free to ask for more details.

PS the Pearl Rack in the back is not doing much except carrying my GEN16 cymbals.
Thanks a lot for the thorough explanation!
Triggerhead answered me and a standlaone kick-drum is available.
Do you guys think it is worth buying or better trying to build a DIY mod like the one Murgen did?

Hi Murgen,
I am a newbie in this community and I am glad to be here and read all this useful information and learn from others.
As I also was looking for solution to wobbly kick, I came up on your post, and I like your solution. Unfortunately, I don't have any spare rack bars, so I decided to find a solution without adding one.
The results I would like to share with anyone looking for solution to this kick problem.
It was not meant as a permanent solution, rather a small experiment as I was borrowing components needed elsewhere in my kit (e.g. crash cymbal).
Here are some pictures, hopefully they will be shared correctly:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/58rzm0cvob0xjbt/IMG_0163.jpg?dl=0
This is what I used:
http://www.thomann.de/intl/millenium_multiclamp.htm
1. Millenium Multi-Clamp 29 EUR
http://www.thomann.de/intl/2box_drumit_rackclamp.htm
2. 2box Drumit Rack Clamp 39 EUR
http://www.thomann.de/intl/2box_drumit_cymbalholder.htm
3. 2box Drumit Cymbal Holder 33 EUR
The total investment is about 100 EUR, which is less than 140 EUR for original 2box rackpipe (long).
The positive: the kick is rock solid with less hardware.
What I didn't like: the fixing kick to the rack doesn't completely eliminate transferring of vibration to other rack elements, just makes them considerably less. Therefore, I will look for standalone kick design for permanent solution.
Speaking of this one, of course there could be some improvements, e.g. as for using the cymbal arm, probably the brainholder arm will be even more suitable:
http://www.thomann.de/intl/2box_drumit_five_brainholder.htm
3. 2box Drumit Five Brainholder 24.90 EUR
There are also other cheaper options, that could be checked out to use as a clamp like these below, I just had this Millenium clamp at hands. These need to be checked before ordering, as I am not 100% sure if those will exactly fit (don't know their exact measurements):
http://www.thomann.de/intl/dixon_pahpmsp_percussion_klammer.htm
1. Dixon PA-HPM-SP Percussion Clamp 24.90 EUR

1. Sonor MH-BDPA BD Percussion Adapter 26 EUR
Very nice work! I have to admit that I purchased a 2nd hand MkI rack for cheap so my investment in the rackpipes was low. All together we come up with creative solutions. My 2Box is almost 4 years old now and still going strong.

Thank you for good words! It wasn't so difficult once you showed the way :)
I am learning from you and other drumming and DIY heroes, God bless you all.
And thanks once more to 2box team for creating so open and powerful instrument, I am getting more and more involved ... OK in love with it ;)
I got the bassdrum holder from Triggerhead but I'm not completely satisfied yet.
The upper part is still suffering a little, especially when i'ts about long double bass patterns at high/average speed (>160 bpm), maybe I'm not getting the montage right but still...
The positive news is that it's not linked to the whole rack anymore so no more influence on the tom or the cymbals at all.
I just need to make it more sturdy.
Maybe using the TDrum Triggerball beater with the original mesh the rebound is still too much, I'm not sure if I should change the mesh or not...
I'm in an experiment with 628 mesh head and Pearl wooden beater (orange), works for me.
that's interesting, but I think the minus for me is the wobbling on the upper part, which is still pretty consistent (I'm using a Pearl Eliminator with black cam and medium spring tension, so there's no need to push it too much to get speed); maybe I could use the part of the 2Box rack where the basspad was originally mounted to create an upper support and avoid any wobbling, but I don't know how to fix it to the Triggerhead kickpad without making a mess :D
