Hey y'all..

I have my 2box kit up for sale.  See photos below.  This kit has been very well cared for, played in a home studio and has never been gigged or banged around.

I will hate to see this go, but I suddenly have a lot of diapers and baby clothes bills in my near future, so I need to liquidate unfortunately.







Included in this kit:

Complete drumit5 kit:

-Drumit5 Module w/ external SD mod and 32GB SD card, with all stock sounds and several additional sets
-three Drumit tom pads w/ 682drums mesh heads
-Drumit snare pad w/ 682drums mesh head
-Drumit bass drum pad w/682drums mesh head
-Drumit rack.  Rack has been modified- the left side is shortened.  See photos.
-2 Drumit cymbal arms
-Drumit hihat sensor and pad
-2 drumit cymbal pads
-all cables/ties required to make the system work
-also included is the full set of stock 2box rubber heads for tom/snare/bass pads.  I switched to 682 heads early, so this set of heads is very nearly new.

Extras:

-one additional drumit cymbal pad
-Zildjian Gen16 crash/ride with Jman 2box ride sensor installed
-Zildjian Gen16 hihat set with Jman 2box hihat sensor and control box
-Zildjian Gen16 crash
-Zildjian Gen16 crash/ride
-Complete set of Zildjian Gen16 sensors, with controller.
-25 ft. 6-way RCA cable, for up to 6 channel output from the 2box controller to your monitors, DAW, or whatever


This is enough gear to run 3 crashes, one hihat, and one ride through the 2box unit, OR run the 2box cymbals through the unit with the complete Gen16 setup on its own, or a hybrid of both.  I used this kit with the 2Box controller only, but the Gen16 hardware all functions as it should.

Note:  the throne, hihat stand, rug, bass pedal, and anything else not explicitly listed above is NOT included.

Kit is located in the metro detroit area- local pickup would be very greatly preferred. 

$2250 gets the lot.

Hello all.

I recently purchased a Gen 16 setup that came with a huge number of parts, so now I'd like to get rid of all the stuff I don't need.  All prices are negotiable but do not include shipping, feel free to PM offers.  My willingness to cover shipping will depend heavily on how far around the globe you are located.  Here's what I have available:

1- Zidljian Gen16 DCP: $190  (includes power supply and mount)   
1- Gen16 18" crash/ride:  $80
1- Gen16 14" crash:  $50
3- Gen16 Direct Source Pickups: $50 each (includes pickups, mounts, sensors, etc)
3- Gen16 AE pickups: $15 each
1- Gen16 snake cable: $20
1- box of cymbal washers/mounts/isolators etc.  I'll throw this in with whoever buys a cymbal.

Total cost as I have them listed would be $535.

I would also do the whole lot for $450.

Thanks guys!

Hey yall.

I'm in the market for a pair of headphones for recording drums.  I'm very familiar with the 'industry standard' Sony and Sennheiser offerings, but while I was fooling around online I read a few reviews of these Direct Sound EX29s.  They look to me to be the best pair on the market from the isolation standpoint, and appear to have very flat response, so good for listening to the mix while playing over it.

So, anyone using them?  Any info on these compared to the Sony/Sennheiser?

Hello all.

I am a new member of the 2box forum.  I recently discovered 2box after searching far and wide for an electronic kit.

The situation I'm in is that my band has lost our former rehearsal/recording space and have relocated to a member's house, where playing an acoustic kit is no longer feasible.

I'd like to get into an electronic kit, and from everything I've read comparing 2box to Roland/Yamaha/et. al, it seems that the 2box kit is the best option, even compared to the Roland/Yamaha kits in the $5,000+ range.

I have a few questions that I'm hoping the members here can help me answer, before I make the plunge.

Hi hat setup- I currently play a DW 9000 two-leg HH stand. Is this HH stand compatible with the 2box setup?  I'd like to avoid the extra expense of the 2box HH stand if possible, and playing with the same HH stand and pedal I will use live on my acoustic kit is a major plus for me. 

With regard to the bass pedal- is there a recommendation from 2box (or based on the experience of members here) on the best beaters to use with the 2box bass drum head?  I play solid wood beaters on my acoustic kit, and I'm assuming solid wood beaters will destroy the mesh 2box head in short order.  Are the 2box foam beaters available separately? Is the 2box bass drum pad relatively stiff out of the box? Is it up to the task of playing with speed, without losing accuracy due to the bass drum pad flopping around?  On the other kits I've demo'd (roland/yamaha), this is a MAJOR problem.

Expandability- is there a retailer in the US that can supply additional drum/cymbal trigger pads?  I'd like to add at least 1 (possibly two..) additional cymbal pads to the base setup, but from shopping around it seems no one in the US sells them.  What's the max number of pads that can be added to the 2box?  My ideal setup would be the base kit plus two additional cymbals and an additional tom.

Recording- I've demo'd an older Yamaha kit, and done a few hours of recording with it.  Our band prefers to record all tracks live, as opposed to tracking everything individually.  With the electronic kit we used, latency was a major issue, to the point where we couldn't really jam together because of the delay between my actual playing and the delivery to the rest of the band.  Does the 2box have capability to be used in the fashion without a huge additional investment?  Forgive my ignorance, I am not extremely well versed in recording methods and technology used for digital drums- I know how to mic and record an acoustic kit well enough to get the job done, but recording with a digital kit is a new thing for me.

If the 2box isn't capable of this type of recording out of the box, are there any recommendations for additional tools that can get this done without a huge additional investment?  I'm very comfortable with the cost of the 2box kit, but I need the capability to record live, with the rest of the band, without spending much more than the cost of the kit itself.  Another $100-$200 would be tolerable, an additional $1000 would not be.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post.  I apologize if these questions have already been answered ad nauseum elsewhere in the forum.  I look forward to learning more about the 2box system, and recording in general.
