I'm thinking of buying a set of low volume/real feel e-cymbals like Jobeky or Diamond. The only thing I'm worried about is the holes in the cymbals and how that affects the wooden tips of my sticks. Anybody here that has experience with these cymbals? Do the tips of your sticks wear off faster by playing hi-hats and ride with holes in them?

I'v e always used Alesis Surge cymbals on my 2Box module, but I never got them to choke. Up to now this has not been a big problem for me, because I always used my kit and module for practice and not live, so I never spent time to solve the problem. But now I want to start using it live and it would be nice if I could use the choke function. I tried to play around with the trigger types for cymbals, but that didn't help. None of them get the Surges to choke. I tried various cables, so that's not the problem. And both of my crashes don't choke, so it's probably not due to the cymbals either. Is it even possible to get Surge cymbals to choke on a 2Box module?

Last week I recorded a demo with my band. I recorded analog via the six (+ 2) out channels of my Drumit5 (MKI)module. For recording we used a Behringer X32 monitor mixer. When mixing the songs we noticed an unnaturally long sustain of the cymbals. The problem occurred with al the cymbal sounds (the normal ones, not the special effect cymbals). While playing on the module using the headphone everything sounded normal (a natural sustain, just like an acoustic cymbal). What could be the problem here? Is it the cymbals? (I use Alesis Surge, probably a bit outdated) Or could it be the way I routed the cymbals? I routed all of them through one out channel instead of stereo, to create room to record every tom seperately. Or could it be something else?

Hello all,
When I first got my bassdrum (a floortom converted into a bassdrum and with a Ddrum trigger on it) I had a problem with double triggering which I adjusted in the module with Threshold, Mask-time and Retrigger-cancel. I also dampened the bassdrum and all those things together got rid of the double triggering. Now I have a problem which looks like double triggering, but seems to be of a different kind. I've been recording my drums on a DAW (Reaper) for a few months now, but the last few weeks my bassdrum is sometimes triggering double notes. But they're so close together that at first I didn't notice it. When listening closely I heard it. I also didn't see it at first. But when zooming in on the drum track real close I can see a second note left from the played bass drum note. The strange thing is that the doubled note is before the actual played note, and it's  way softer. Whereas with normal double triggering the first note is the loudest or as loud as the second note. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

I heard a demo of the MII with the GR US Maple Kit. I love the sound of this kit, especially the snare drum! I have the original Drumit5 module, but this this kit is not on it. It's also not on the 2Box website. Does anyone know if the snare  sound is available as a download anywhere?

I recently  connected my Drumit5 module to my computer with a usb midi cable (usb in the computer and din in the module), because I wanted to record some tracks in Reaper. I routed the playback through the module. So far so good. But... here the trouble starts. Sometimes when I playback the recorded part it doesn't play exactly what I played. It gets notes wrong. My band would fire me if I played that way live. First I started doubting my ears, but after quantising the whole track it still gets the notes wrong. The grid in Reaper is set correctly, so that's not the issue. I bought a new midi cable and cleaned up my computer, but that didn't make any difference. So what could this be? Still my computer? The module? Any ideas?

DrumIt 5 Hardware / VH11 bow-edge problem
February 13, 2020, 03:54:40 PM
Hi all, I don’t know if this is a specific hardware question…
I’m playing with a VH11 hi-hat on the 2box right now (with Zourman converter). I find the edge area of the cymbal a bit wide for my liking (it’s 3 cm) and the sound of the edge is way too ‘open’ for my taste. I know I shouldn’t compare, but it’s so far off from how a real hi-hat reacts when it’s played at the same spot. I’ve tried all the hi-hats on the 2box (and some extras from the 2box website), but no edge sound comes close to acceptable for me. So I think I would prefer to have the bow sound on the edge as well. Is there a way to achieve that (without creating own sounds)?
Thanks!
