No problem. It's kinda odd the rod on that Mk1 Hihat stand rod is that much thicker than your bog standard hihats from other brands isn't it? I mean the stand itself is not exactly heavy duty stuff and probably outsourced.

Hope you work a solution out anyways.

Best wishes.

Hmmm yeah that's a tough one. Like I mentioned, I can only think that the old pearl style MIGHT work, as they have a different approach to clamping.

I might have one lying around that I have had for YEAAAAARS, I'll go and look and will report back. ␃

Failing that, you could possibly get someone to drill out a clutch to make it larger. But it would need to be someone who knows how to drill with precision.

Going down a different path for hihat would be my recommendation.

The Zourman box with any Roland style hihat will be much better for the playing too. A friend of mine bought one with a Jobeky Brass Hihat top, and it significantly better to play on than the this hihat. I have also tried it with a VH11 and it was great.

Is it that the Rod is too large for most clutches hole or too small to clamp? It's been a while since I had one so I am not so sure.

If its that the rod is too small, I can only think of the old pearl clutches that were about in the 90's. Instead of having a hole, with a bolt through the main housing, these were two pieces that clamped together, sorta like a cymbal book arm-multi clamp.

Here's one of them on eBay. Of course, I cannot be 100% sure it'll work without trying it.

Quote from: Morillo on March 12, 2024, 11:31:01 PMMaybe I should look for original MK1 first model hardware (orange/black) but I think it will be almost impossible.

You can use other pads with 2box Mk1 module. But avoid Piezo/switch style. That's things like Yamaha TP/XP pads.

The newer ones should work well as they're piezo/piezo.

You can also get decent results with an acoustic snare with a mesh head and an external rim trigger (like 2box Trigit) or Ddrum, I am told Roland RT can work too.

Internal triggers might be better. In fact, you'd do well with Triggera Intrigs, I used them with a 2box module for quite a while and found them great with Mylar heads! So they'll be good with Mesh. You'll need to increase the gain though compared to Mylar.

There's no shortage of options. With the newest OS available for 2box Mk1 modules you'll have better options for cleaner triggering between head and rim.

I have a pair of Vistalite hihats and that very controller. I bought them off eBay a few years ago, gigged with it for a long time. I don't recall any issues, in fact it was an excellent set up. And I was using a drumit3 at the time.

I no longer have a drumit3 and I stopped using the controller as the little cable broke. It's easily repaired as its only fishing wire, I just haven't got around to doing it.

I also have been using a FD6 with the Vistalite (with an edrumin10 and Pearl Mimic Pro) and that's a great hihat set up.

I cannot say what the LTE cymbals are like, but they look virtually the same as the Jokeky/AE Hybrid Low Valume. I do have some Low Volume cymbals but with Drone Halo triggers, but I stopped using them in favour of a VH11. The edge/bow accuracy is just way better.

Hope this helps!

Anche,
Altri pad funzioneranno con il modulo Mk1. L'unico vero problema che avrai sarà l'hi-hat.
Puoi utilizzare Roland Hi Hat con il modulo Mk1 con una scatola Zourman (vedi Anders qui per informazioni o https://zourman.com)

Anche i piatti ride potrebbero essere un problema se desideri 3 zone, campana, arco e bordo.

Jobeky realizza (o almeno produceva) piatti appositamente per il modulo Mk1 utilizzando un singolo cavo TRS.

Potrebbe essere un'idea inviare loro un messaggio e chiedere se lo fanno ancora.


Also,
Other pads will work with Mk1 module. The only real problem you will have is Hi-Hat.
You can use Roland Hi Hat with Mk1 module with a Zourman box (see Anders on here for information or https://zourman.com)

Ride cymbals might also be a problem if you want 3 zones, bell, bow and edge.

Jobeky make (or they did) cymbals especially for the Mk1 module using a single TRS cable.

It might be an idea to shoot them a message and ask if they still do.

Ciao!

I pad dell'originale MK1 e Mk2 erano gli stessi. Se sono quelli arancioni/neri.

Si monteranno sul supporto L-Rod Tama Style. Si adattano perfettamente, ma si può fare.

Qualcosa di più grande, come la L-Rod in stile DW, sicuramente no.

Anche qualsiasi cosa leggermente più sottile, come il tipo su cui si montano i campanacci, funzionerà.

Spero che Google traduca la mia risposta in italiano abbastanza bene da farti capire.

Saluti dal Galles.

Steve


Hello!

The pads of the original MK1 and Mk2 were the same. If they are the orange/black ones.

They will mount on Tama Style L-Rod stand. They fit on tightly, but it can be done.

Anything larger, like DW style L-Rod, definitely not.

Anything slighlty thinner, like the kind that cowbells mount on, that will work too.

I hope google translates my reply into Italian well enough for you to understand.

Greetings from Wales.

I google translated the post:

Hi everyone! I have a doubt and I hope someone here can help me.
I have the 2Box MK1 (first model) but without hardware. Now I would like to purchase only the MK2 hardware that I found online from a private individual.
I was about to make the payment but I had the terrible doubt that the MK2 pads are not compatible with the MK1 that I own.
Can anyone give me some information on this?
I read from a previous post that many of the pads of other brands do not work well on 2box but I don't know how the compatibility is between the various models of the DrumIt5
P.S. I hope this topic hasn't already been discussed but I don't think I've found anything about it in the forum
Thanks in any case for your attention :-)

Amazing work. I just yesterday was chatting to a guy on a Facebook group (possibly 65drums page) and he'd just come into possession of a Ddrum4 and was asking about cymbal sounds. It appears they were wiped from the module from previous owner. Anyway, I directed him here. It great to see there's life in that old dog yet, I had one for many years and it served me very well. It even appeared on a couple of international albums which I sessioned on in the 2000's, though wasn't given credit.

There's a setting in hihat, god I wish I could remember what it's called, but if you adjust that while playing it will bring the closed foot position up, and you'll get it right.

I'll have a look at the manual now to see if I can see it and jog my memory of what setting it is.

As for the other playing issues. I know you can get it playing great. It should be pretty close out of the box but then, I would need to be sat infant of it to get to the bottom, I just know very well what the module is capable of.

Hold that thought. (unless someone else can chime in with the answer before I do some reading up)

Something is way off there you can definitely do rolls, fast ones, buzz rolls etc on a 2 box kit. I had one for many many years. I have played the speedlight kit at a shop and I really liked it.

Was it a demo kit, like a floor model or something? If so I'd wager it's been messed with by people in the store and it's how it is.

I can't say how, but I'd factory reset it. It can be done I just can't remember how to do it.

#13
Ah, I am sorry. Yamaha trigger type wasn't the answer. Like I say it was a long time ago so I probably remembered it wrong.

I would send 2box an email, maybe they'll have some ideas.
#14
He means that another year of no new modules, products or significant updates.
#15
I only sat behind a speedlight kit once a few years ago. I recall the ride being on the Yamaha trigger type. Give it try, it can't harm it.
