Thought I'd throw up a link ... the former unofficial DDrum forum shut down quite a while back ... sometime after Ed from Drumbalaya sold his eDrum store and gave up the forums ... not sure people knew that Sam (otacon 28) a big DDrum fan ... set up a newer unofficial DDrum forum a while back:

I also put a link up to this forum over there ... it is "all in the family" ... so to speak....

Still have plenty of tweaking to do ... to get my sounds arranged on all my instruments, but I have a pretty good start going. I had planned to split my tom inputs and did.... But I also wanted to get all my toms tweaked and performing well on both head and rim zones before doing the split. I have a few drum kits already converted from A to E ... The Drop in Pan conversion that I was using last on my TD-20X ..... didn't work worth a crap with the Drumit Five.... But my previous style conversion works excellent ... very little tweaking involved.

After the video, I went ahead and split my tom inputs... I now have 5 toms plus 2 more splashes and a China working on the tom inputs.... working wonderfully actually... Nough Said...

here's a quick vid I did of the 2Box and Rollie .... "Getting Along Together"

Was wondering .... are any of the toms in the 2Box sounds Octobans... thought maybe the Phillips kit might have a couple?? Or anyone got any Octoban sample ideas?

A friend of mine was raving about the Yamaha PHX drums ... did a little browsing on the net, ran into this vid.... Wow, this has got to be one of the best sounding kits I've ever heard. Great tuning and recording .... Maybe someday, someone will sample this and we'll get something close in our modules .... that's all I'd want for Christmas

I couldn't find this specifically in the manual or through my searches... and haven't received my module and pads yet ... wondering how much adjustment is possible between zones as far as trigger parameters..... does the edge zone on crashes/ride have a separate gain control? or threshold setting? ... basically wondering what, if any trigger parameters can be adjusted separately for crashes and ride.

I assume the snare and toms have separate adjustments, especially since you can split those inputs for 2 separate pads if you want .... but the cymbals??
