Last post by welshsteve - April 04, 2024, 01:41:16 AMYes replacement Foam Cones are available from many places. Search eBay for "replacement foam cones for electronic drum pads" You will find many and they're very cheap.

General 2box Drumit 5 forum / Re: Achat prévu module 2BOX Dr...
Last post by welshsteve - April 04, 2024, 01:38:46 AMTranslated from French to English
"Hello everyone.
After hesitating for a long time, I'm thinking of quickly getting my hands on the 2BOX Drumit 5 module as well as the 2BOX trigger.
Everything is much cheaper than ROLAND (TD 50) nothing to see... (2500 against 900...)
We can then connect all models and brands of pads and cymbals, with much less interference and confinement.
Also, I don't like the fact that we are in a monopolistic market, which is bad for us and in the end... I want to know which factors I choose, not the common factors. Especially for the module in the 2500th position of the common, this is wrong. We're looking at the exact sample here, and I really liked what I heard online in the demos.
I'm thinking of lighting my little Sonor martini and having 2 batteries in one in very portable mode. I also have enough stands here: you need one for each brand of edrum and it takes up a lot of space. I'll come back for the tom stands and cymbals...
Then I'll need an amp for rehearsals since I'm starting to play music in a group again (it's been years...) I'm thinking about an ALESIS.
What do you think?"
Here's my reply
Bonjour et bienvenue.
Si par Alesis, vous voulez dire le nouvel ampli de batterie Alesis, je pense qu'il s'appelle "Strike drum amp" ou quelque chose de similaire.
Il semble qu'il s'agisse simplement d'une enceinte renommée comme l'ALTO TS412. La conception du boîtier est identique. Je ne sais pas s'il y a quelque chose de différent à l'intérieur.
Je comparerais la différence de prix entre les deux !
Personnellement, je ne suis pas fan des "amplis batterie", je préfère de loin utiliser des IEM (In-Ear Monitor) pour une utilisation en live et à la maison. Ils ont un meilleur son et prendront beaucoup moins de place à transporter.
Les batteries électroniques fonctionnent mieux en live si vous disposez d'un système de sonorisation adapté à l'ensemble du groupe, tout ce qui se trouve sur scène sera uniquement destiné au monitoring. Si le groupe a des moniteurs, ils peuvent alors entendre la batterie et le batteur peut utiliser soit des haut-parleurs (comme vous le pensez), soit des IEM qui seront plus faciles à transporter et coûteront également beaucoup moins cher.
Mais si les enceintes sont vraiment la voie à suivre, je considérerais qu'il est préférable d'en avoir deux. Beaucoup de ces excellents sons de batterie sont enregistrés en STÉRÉO et n'en avoir qu'un seul perdra cet effet.
Si vous en avez besoin en live pour que les autres membres du groupe l'entendent aussi bien que vous-même, ces petites enceintes de 12 pouces pourraient ne pas être aussi efficaces.
C'est quelque chose que vous devrez essayer de savoir.
J'espère que ça aide.

Hello and welcome.
If by Alesis, you mean the new Alesis drum amp, I think it's called "Strike drum amp" or something similar to that.
It appears to be just a rebranded speaker like the ALTO TS412 The cabinet design looks identical. I do not know if there's anything inside that is different.
I would compare the price difference between them both!
Personally, I am not a fan of "drum amps" I much prefer to use IEM (in-ear monitor) for live an at home use. They have better sound and will take up a lot less space to carry about.
E-drums work best live if you have a suitable PA system for the whole band for out-front, anything on stage will be just for monitoring. If the band has monitors, then they can hear drums from these and the drummer can use either speakers (like you are thinking) or IEM which will be easier to transport and will also cost a lot less.
But if speakers are really the way you have to go, I would consider it is best to have two of them. A lot of these excellent drum sounds are recorded in STEREO and so having just one will lose that effect.
If you are needing it live for others in the band to hear as well as yourself, these small 12" speakers might not be that effective.
It is something you will have to try to know.
I hope this helps.

General 2box Drumit 5 forum / Achat prévu module 2BOX Drumit...
Last post by drewdavis - April 03, 2024, 08:19:06 AMBonjour à tous.
Après avoir longuement hésité, je pense mettre rapidement la main sur le module 2BOX Drumit 5 ainsi que le trigger 2BOX.
Le tout est bien moins cher que du ROLAND (TD 50) rien à voir... (2500 contre 900...)
On peut alors connecter tous les modèles et marques de pads et cymbales, avec beaucoup moins de brouillage et de confinement.
Aussi, je n'aime pas le fait que nous soyons dans un marché monopolistique, ce qui est mauvais pour nous et au final... Je veux savoir quels facteurs je choisis, pas les facteurs communs. Surtout pour le module en 2500ème position du commun, c'est faux. Nous examinons ici l'échantillon exact, et j'ai beaucoup aimé ce que j'ai entendu en ligne dans les démos.
Je pense allumer mon petit martini Sonor et avoir 2 batteries en une en mode très portable. J'ai aussi assez de supports ici : il en faut un pour chaque marque d'edrum et cela prend beaucoup de place. Je reviendrai pour les pieds de tom et les cymbales...
Ensuite il me faudra un ampli pour les répétitions puisque je recommence à jouer de la musique en groupe (ça fait des années...) Je réfléchis à un ALESIS.
Qu'en penses-tu ?

General 2Box Drumit 3 Forum / Replacing foam triggers
Last post by AndrewS - April 02, 2024, 12:55:17 PMNew user, just acquired a lightly used speedlight kit but discovered the foam between the piezo and the mesh head of the snare has deteriorated so hits on the snare are not registering.
Hits on the rim are fine and if I remove the head lightly tapping the sensor registers the hit.
I've searched and can't find an answer - are replacement foams available? I have seen the cone shaped ones for Roland pads but these seem too large? Has anyone made their own, if so any particular type of foam? Also, how easy is it to remove the old foam from the piezo?
Many thanks for any suggestions.

General 2Box Drumit 3 Forum / Re: Trigger Compatibility
Last post by welshsteve - April 02, 2024, 12:42:12 AMI cannot speak from personal experience but I have heard of other using them with great results. You'll need to set the best trigger type and the gains and other trigger settings for optimum results. I can't say off the top of my head what trigger type is the best. But I'd imagine to treat it like the 2boc TrigIt and choose one of the AC trigger types (probably AC1) and then set gain, threshold, mask time and curve etc.
Maybe someone can chime in with personal experience and suggested settings.
Good luck!

Other e-drum systems / Re: Best e-drums in 2022???
Last post by welshsteve - April 01, 2024, 06:14:35 PMAnd just these last few weeks, Alesis has come-in with a really strong contender with their Strata Prime kit.
That's the thing ATM, "KIT" the module isn't available yet as an individual item. Lots of really great drum sounds, the usual bunch of percussion and "pew-pews" I am very impressed. Some triggering gripes have been mentioned. And I've spotted a couple from the demo videos.
They've put a BFG pack in there and recorded a lot of new sounds, which sound very much on par with the BFG pack.
They're gonna be bringing out an Editor at some point and releasing some expansion packs.
On top of this, great sound-stacking options per zone. 4 effects engines. 6 outs (2 main, 4 direct) and a big 10" touch screen.
Yep, Alesis have seriously upped their game.

Last post by K3NH - April 01, 2024, 09:28:45 AMQuote from: edcito on April 22, 2022, 11:03:40 AMAn ATV Ad5 is a good option, 4ms latency, nice sounds, compatible with many brands of pads, (not the case with efnote which has a proprietary hihat) and plays nice.
Be aware that you can't edit sounds recording or even using metronome! is not possible through the module. It's sad...

General 2Box Drumit 3 Forum / Any way to change the sensitiv...
Last post by Sheshelj - March 31, 2024, 01:48:26 PMI play jazz and find when i lightly hit the ride cymbal it registers some, but not all hits, or even if i play louder sometimes it sounds like it skips the hit. Also when i play other parts of the drum louder with the ride (happens with my other crash cymbal also), it sounds like their volume has been lowered even tho i play on max volume.
Now i get it, its an electric kit, i had plenty of them. But on my last ekit there was an option to change the sensitivity to your likeing (like a volume bar), but on this one i dont seem to find it.
Is there anything i can do to improve this?

General 2box Drumit 5 forum / Ride problems
Last post by Torbs - March 29, 2024, 09:05:35 PMHi
I am having problems with my ride. It sometimes triggers just the bell sound for no reason while playing the bow. And gets back to normal again until it triggers just the bell sound again for a few hits. Any idea what I can do about it?
TIA
Thorsten
