Is this for the 5 or 3 Module? Thanks.

I can tell drum sounds from a Roland module a mile away. As much as they do this and that with impressive technology they cannot seem to remove the baby bottle from their COMOS fed child so it will develop properly. I find my ears get tired listening to the irritating sounding snare drum samples after several minutes. Initially sounds great then gets annoying like chalk scraping across a black board. On a positive note the triggering dynamics and feel of the Roland products are very impressive. But so is my DIY 12" mesh headed snare with internal trigger attached to my trusty 2 box module for a fraction of the price. Dry sample that sounds killer and real, with layers of dynamic samples to mimic the acoustic properties of a real drum. I am a fan of Roland products but prefer 2 Box for real sounding drums. I use 2 Box live.  Really glad Roland moves ahead with innovations like the TD-50. At the end of the day, 2 Box is my all time favorite followed by DDrum.

I like Roland silent mesh pads or any acoustic drum with JMan's internal trigger with a quality mesh head. Hate anything rubber. Never tried the 2 Box pads as I only bought the module.

Just ordered the M6Pro's as per Coda's post. 

Cheap custom tip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb7bTe5XZPs

I am a big DDrum 4 fan and user. Migrated to the 2 box and played several live this weekend with 2 box. Using JBL EON G2 Powered 15" speaker as monitor, so it is my only reference as per the sound quality and dynamics. Very pleased. No false triggering, great dynamics and fantastic access with on the fly adjustments using the module. I have used modules from 1982 Simmons SDS 7  to Roland, Alesis and Yamaha in the past. When attaining a DDrum module using it live, no turning back. Triggering, dynamics and sounds great for shows. The 2 box is that and more. Almost bought a TD 25 but prefer the approach DDrums and 2 Box towards E Drums. Other than the 2 Box wall wart, (will replace with a better aftermarket solution), it is a 5-star product. The fun is just starting as I have yet explored the VSTI strengths of this module. Thanks to the great members of this forum such a JMan and puttenvr who I have the honor of associating with on other forums in the past, steering me in the right direction.

Did a sound check last night in a club and the 2 box sounded great. Rolled a little 8k on the in board eq, running it through a 15 JBL EON for monitor.

I could not tell, but both sounded great.

Trying out a monitor (small PA) last night and the sound man noticed the samples can be EQ'd in the module. he tweaked the settings a bit and the snare sounded better. Any thoughts, suggestions, advice or tips with improving sounds using the EQ? Thanks.

The power adaptor is running hot and not feeling warm and fuzzy as per it's quality. Any aftermarket units that are better quality and do not run hot? Thanks.

Just programmed a kit and saved all the settings. Using the kit live 2 shows this weekend. Got one of my DDrum modules working, use it as a spare. The 2 box interface is really nice.

Migrated from DDrum 4 to 2 Box due to the DDrum 4 becoming unreliable. the DDrum 4 is a great module though I have 3 broken units. Nonetheless, very pleased with the factory sounds, layering and dynamics of the 2 Box. So.. are VSTI's much better than factory sounds in a live situation? Second question, how do I save kits and triggering settings? Is BDF the preferred VSTI? All suggestions welcomed.

Great post! My new 2 Box module just arrived, time to start reading the manual.

Sounds good, thanks. Getting a laptop just for that. Your advice saved $$$ and trouble.

My 2 box module arrived in Vancover today at Allan's Tone Guru Music Store and will be shipped to Halifax the opposite side of Canada. Excellent service and he also is a drummer using drummit 5, so knows the product well. Got some recording projects this winter and a few gigs booked in the later part of the winter. Will be using the 2 box module with the gear I use now. Got basic BFD but will expand to BFD 2 and 3 soon.
