It’s an improvement on the drumit5. Has two less outputs which has bugged a few people (not me, only ever used two anyway) but it’s largely the same but with better triggering options.

Oh definitely. 1. It's WAY faster. 2. It doesn't require the module powered up and connected in order to transfer files and 3. Way more space.

You have to exercise a little care when installing it, but as long as you do, it's a synch. Remember though, once installed the USB connection on the module is totally redundant.

Probably, it uses USB 1 speeds so to back up 4gb would take a while.

When I swell, I use the bow sample and play very quick double strokes (not that it matters) starting from a tap. It sounds pretty natural to me anyway. Maybe you'd still hear the hits.

If you go with Jman's, you'll have no issues. He can recommend settings for optimum realism. Of course you'll probably have to tailor it a little to suit your playing dynamics, (gain most probably) but he'll be able to suggest a good starting point.
Good luck!!

I can answer your question. Yes it does cymbal swells, very well! I find them sounding REALLY natural. A lot of the stock sounds have bell on the crashes too, if that's your thing. Of course, they choke too!

I have sampled (the long way around as I don't have a windows machine to do the SDSD app) and it's long winded but works. But I find at the tail end of the various samples I get system hiss, does this happen with Ising the one-click method on SDSD? Just wondering. I came cut it back by shortening the decay, and this kinda cleans it up for live and the sounds I have ripped from EZ and Superior drummer are really really nice, but just that his at the end. Enerds Peavey kit samples also have it so perhaps its just one of them things I have to deal with. I know I could probably apply some plug in to eliminate hiss, I know there's one on Logic (what I use to sample) but was worried it would kill some of the fidelity of the overall sound. In the mix when the band is playing it's not noticeable, so it's a minor thing. But just wanted to ask other users of their experience.

Not from 682 drums, but from Jobeky a few years ago I had the same issue. I had to get a longer tension rod from my spares to put on side on REALLY tight, then put one of the 2box rods on either side of it, replace the longer one with a 2box one and do the same the other side, whiles kneeling on it with my full body weight. Yeah it was a task but that's how I did it. If not for the longer tension rod, I'd probably not have gotten it on.

If its for the di3, you won't need the Zumman box. I am pretty certain of that!

You did get an AC/AC replacement power supply right? A lot of people don't realise the drumit5 works with AC not DC (like 99% of stuff) power. I went through quite a few over the years, had to special order a replcement 2box adapter and then one similar from an electrical suppliers. I think it was a 15v AC 2 amp supply was the last one I got, made by Alto.
The drumit3 however works on DC, which means if the supply ever should go down, it would be easier to replace.

It’s the same kind of usb cable You’d use for a printer, midi keyboard controller, I have a Roland td15 module which uses the same kind of connection. Pretty standard I have always thought.

Yeah, DO NOT use it in usb mode with a 32 gig mod. I am lead to believe that you could actually damage it permanently doing that. The fact the SD card can be taken to a computer, all files transferred a lot quicker than in USB mode without the module means USB mode is redundant anyway.

I understand a little clearer now. Only use outs 1+2 on Dit3 so haven't looked at splitting them. Just from the one time I did with the drumit5 4 years ago I think I had to pan them as 1+2 (for example) is a stereo out. So If I want something to come from 1 only, I'd have to pan it that way.

As I don't have the di5 anymore, only the di3, I'll set the kit up later and have a look and see if I can get what you're after.

Sorry if you have done this, but are you hard panning the things you want to assign?

So,

Kick output 1+2 panned hard left
Snare Output 1+2 hard right
Toms output 3+4 Hard Left
Cymbals 3+4 hard right?

I think it all depends on the sound. If a dsdn has 2 zones built into it, it will show 2 zones and you'll need a pad and a correct trigger type to work it.
Thus, if that sound only has a single zone on it, the rim and pad will trigger that sound.
I think I have got this right, anyone?
