Hello
I wonder if the contents will be available to download, to choose a few kits to add to my forthcoming drumit 3 via the applications ?
I see there are placeholders in the support page but no links (yet?)

cheers, stay safe...

Short demo of the kit by andertons

Thks Edcito
This is really the only full kit demo video I´ve seen so far. Sounds really good to my old ears.

Can anyone confirm if the kit includes printed manual for the unit, or is the pdf the only one ?
thks in advance

Ok I see

Sorry for the silly question but you meant with the speedlight default clamp hardware you just swap the mount with these (3 for the toms ?) and you are able to get them higher like let´s say at least 10-20 cm ?

Height adjustment will be important to me in a teenage size kit I guess, as I am 1,81 mt tall

I told you you would love the cymbals, they feel very much atv-esque and play beautifully, as soon as individual pads are available I'm going to get all 3 10" toms and mount them with yamaha hex mounts so they sit higher. I didn't think about changing the curves, I did change them to norm as well and yeah it makes a difference. The hihat pad feels sluggish at first but when the surface of the tray gets molded it gets much better.

Hello Edcito
Are the mounts you are refering to the Yamaha tpcl500 ?

Hello everyone

32GB + sdcard slot up to 64GB - can anyone say if the new 5/MKII is usb (at least) 2.0 ?

I am almost sure it hasn´t but just to confirm is there, or will there ever be midi over usb ?

thks

Hello,

I´m thinking about adding a BT-1 to act as cowbell / start stop etc in a future drumit 3 config, with trigger inputs Cymb3A/3B free as well as Tom4 (yes the speedlight kit), that on top of a Mdh-12 mount (to avoid messing around the crosstalk I guess).

Is this doable via Tom4 -> Perc4 -> Rim zone 8 and then tuning ? anyone tried this setup to good results ?

thks

Hello everyone,

I am an it tech in Lisbon and have programmed synths in the past (way back - ensoniq esq1 would you believe that?)
I am starting to explore my (hobby) drumming abilities and totally fallen for the drummit 3 / 5 concept and sounds - unimpressed with roland sounds and there´s no midi in. As a pc programmer I totally dig the system after reading the latest user manual.
So I would like to start with a non overboard ($) kit but including one of the 2box units.

This speedlight kit would fit the bill, including all but a throne, but info is so scarce ! there´s no online quick guide other than the unit people know.- no videos, no instructions or unboxing, nothing ! that´s it..  how can anyone launch a product like this ? beyond me.

Now I have read in a close by thread this is apparently build by a Thai manufacturer (4 ply snare + toms I read somewhere ?), so putting aside the main unit my urgent questions regarding the kit if anyone can hint or help :

- I have seen a bunch of videos on the older orange kit. Although wobbly it sounded like it triggered pretty well, seemed to allow good hand sensitivity  and sounded good too (of course). Should I expect something similar for this one, or a lower / higher spec overall ?

- This is an apartment so noise control is paramount. I don´t see any video depicting the outer noise of the kick (hitter seems like a ball so maybe not too much noise?) nor the hi hat pedal - as I said there´s no kit video whatsoever and I don´t speak thai.. What can I expect in terms of noise comparing to any other brand that can be checked out ?

-  Has anyone tried and tested triggering ranges for all the pads in this kit ? how they behave ?

- If I just go ahead and buy a cheaper 5 mk1 unit and order the 32gb card mod (from a distinguished member) with the newer operating system there will be no triggering problems, the headphone volume can be dettached  and it will basically function as 3 unit but with more outputs is that so ?

- I´d really like to avoid buying a compact home setup with a great unit but crappy kit... on the other hand one of these units plus separate roland components will double this speedlight kit cost. I wonder if it justifies ? (going back to my first questions)


thks in advance for replying, sorry for the long post.
