According to this Swedish store they got updates from 2box saying it's coming in mid-December
https://www.trumslagaren.se/product/2box-drumit-three
Would be a nice christmas gift if true. Oh and the price has gone up to 926EUR, so I assume it's maybe financial factors the cause of the delay...

Great, now its pushed to December and more expensive. What is 2box doing? They are really shooting themselves in the foot. Oh well, i guess i shouldn't be in a rush to spend more money anyway. It, would be a nice Christmas gift but not going to hold my breath. I should either be satisfied with the 5 and get Superior Drummer 3 or move on to the Pearl Mimic Pro which obviously is a bigger company with way more support for years to come. Maybe I will see what kind of Black Friday deals come around. Even if it does finally come out i would be worried about the stability of the company and what the future holds from what i have seen thus far.

So anybody hear any news?

I am assuming no otherwise someone would have posted but we are into November now and soon the weather outside will be frightful

I really don't get what this works with any other pad thing is all about , I've only just turned on to 2box after playing Roland kits since 2005, I gig with an A to E conversion and TD-12 , the 2 box works fine with my Roland cymbals ( of course not hi hat) but I'm ok with the stock hats, I've created a second SD card with the trigger settings for my A to E kit which works fine with the 2 box with centre mounted triggers so to use any other pads would be a step back IMO, anyone who owns anything less than a Roland kit isn't going to spend £800 or £2000 for mimic to use any other cheap pad with IMO , so all you need is what you've got , I've left out Yamaha cuz I hate those pads lol, Plus with the five you have more OUTS which is a plus for anyone gigging with Electronics , I've never really got on with any other head other than mesh anyway .👍 Just my 5 cents worth , drumit 5 is already a good and usable module I think a new software and kit upgrade would have been better , all I'm after now is the zourman hi hat box for my VH 11 😀

You don't get 3 zone compatibily with the ride and the hihat like you said isn't universal unless you get the zourman box or jman box. You also get 3 zone compatibily on all cymbal inputs if you want.  The drumit 5 is still great though and i don't think any modules from back then can hold up against the competition today like that module can.

The other thing to consider is since they are going to stop making hardware the 2box cymbals and hihat once broken that's it, you won't be able to get replacements. At least with the drumit three you  have the universal trigger interface so it's future proof if the hardware breaks.

The excuse is always the same, 2box is a small company, they cannot compete with roland and Co. ok then don't announce products if you cannot deliver, if they can make only one module a month they can keep it for themselves and their friends. I'm going back to Roland, I won't wait one more day.
Even the website of my "small company" is more updated than the 2box website, still showing the Musikmesse news from 2012 as the latest......

That's what i am talking about, you don't need a roland marketing budget to keep people informed and excited about a product in today's world. They already have a great product, they just need to keep us informed and act like they are alive out there.

You still get amazed....the 2box is great solution even if 8 years have passed. Don't be so quick to judge the upcoming three as a step back. There could be other models coming up which closes the gap to the current five. (What do we know)

Yes, the competition is really hard but still, even the new stuff have challenges. One shot samples...no editor for multilayer sounds, problems with triggering and so on.

In this case I do believe my old 2box just delivers...

If we really want challenge anything...I am guessing a nice PC, sound card, Trigger to midi interface & SD3 is the way to go! [for the moment...]

This is true, its one step back in terms of outputs and from what i read on the forums this puts it off their shopping list when upgrading. If it works as advertised the universal trigger interface is a great improvement though but nothing else it seems has changed.

It is still a great module eight years later after being released. I mean the TD20X was Rolands flagship i think at the time and this was so much better sounding and can still compete today.

Its other things like why not give the module more internal memory? Why lessen the amount of outputs? Its nice they have 3 zone cymbal compatibility on all cymbal inputs but take 2 of those and make them outputs instead. I think people would have more interest in the additional outputs then having bells on their crashes.

"They were one of the first companies to the market with a module that can import multi-layered sounds"
Yes indeed, but who are 'they' today?

Are you asking who else can do this? Just the Alesis Strike module at the moment and i hear the mimic pro isn't far behind though.

You can bet they care plenty. But they don’t have the resources of their anger competitors!

Maybe "don't care" was the wrong choice of words but they have been around a while now, i think they should have some resources just for simple marketing. They have so much potential, if you don't dedicate the resources how do you expect to grow? I guess they are satisfied with their piece of the edrum market, i don't know. They were one of the first companies to the market with a module that can import multi-layered sounds and to my ears sounded better than anything the bigger companies had out at the time. Then they had the advantage of someone creating a program to easily import VST sounds into the module, fantastic! This was what? 8 years ago now? The market is just now finally catching up with the Pearl Mimic Pro and ATV AD5 and the Alesis Strike offering great sounding modules with real sampled drums. They had a chance back then to build their market share if they just invested the time/money and establish themselves before all these other companies came into the picture. It seems they didn't take advantage of this "head start" they had and now are going slightly backwards with the Drumit 3 since it has less outputs. To be honest though having the universal interface is great and i will probably still buy it. If they made this happen years ago it would have been great for them but it took them this long and they are barely advertising it, no videos really or any hype of any kind and its supposed to come out very soon.

It just seems to be they have been stagnant and sitting on this gold mine while just letting word of mouth do the marketing. If you don't invest in marketing you can have the best product in the world and still fail.

Just my .02, i still love the module though. I guess makes no difference to me as long as they don't go out of business 

I think it will be out soon, just 2box has like zero marketing department and communication is poor. They have such a good edrum module, its a shame they can't get their act together. Its like they don't care and just do the bare minimum to stay afloat.

it works ...

Great, thanks!

Looks like 2box drumit 3 is getting close to being released

Anybody know if the 2box Hihat will work with the Drumit 3? I would think it should be not sure if the technologies are compatible with the universal input it will have now.

Ok thanks! I did also check that but going to double check because they did seem bent at one point.

Thanks, forgot to mention i tried that

Hey guys, i am having a small problem with one of my 2box cymbals. It seems there maybe a wiring issue with it because if i increase the threshold to 40 it starts randomly triggering without me hitting it. You think this is a loose solder issue before i take the box apart? Anybody else have this before or have any advice?

Price lowered, 160 shipped for jobeky tom.

Price lowered for jobeky drum, cowpaddy sold.
