Is there any difference between the 10" and 12" pads (apart from 2"  )
I want to put together a smaller kit based on a Drumit5, and I was wondering if I could use a 10" tom pad as a snare and get the same response / playability?

I'm considering a 2nd hand Drumit5, but I like to play centre hihat so ideally I want to swap out the 2Box Hihat stand for a separate pedal and cymbal.
Reading on here, it looks like it should be possible using one of the hihat controller boxes and then modifying a Roland/Yamaha/Alesis HH pedal.
If I then use a different make cymbal pad for the hihat (perhaps a smaller one), can I re-use the 2Box Hihat as another cymbal?
Is the 'top' Hihat the same trigger as the crash cymbal?

Hi all, newbie here, but long time drummer...
Played acoustic, electric and hybrid kits for 40ish years including Mapex, Traps, Roland (kits and SPD pads), Alesis DMPro, and a ddrum4 for quite a while.
Gave up gigging a few years back, and have been mostly programming (using VSTs like Addictive drums) recently.
Hoping to get an electric kit for home use / enjoyment / stress relief soon, so re-appraising myself of the current market.

Having used VSTs recently, I've become used to having 'main' and 'edge' samples of drums, and use them quite extensively.
I'm trying to decide if 'positional sensing' is a huge benefit to electric drums, or just another marketing gimmick

Any thoughts / opinions? Either from a 2box perspective, or other manufacturers?

Thanks
Paul
