extreme drums internal acoustic drum triggers with the 2box module?

[Dr.Skins]

Hello was wondering if anyone tried extreme drums internal acoustic drum triggers with the 2box module? they look pretty good and they aren't center mounted, was thinking they might be a good match for the 2box module because 2box pads don't have center mounted triggers either. heres a link to the site

Hi Dr. Skins,
I use Aquarian inhead on my snare. Works great.!
It is a real head! If you go for silent you can go for onhead.


maybe its an option for you.

Reviewed in digitalDrummer - yes, it works fine with 2box

Thanks for the info the Aquarian onHEAD PED looks like it's made of rubber I Prefer the mesh heads they seem more realistic to me. I might just go with a jobeky kit then again the customs fees are outrageous, so maybe i'll buy a cheap acoustic kit on ebay then rig it with the extreme triggers. I'll have to figure out whats the better value.

Extreme are not the only triggers options. check out our reviews of internal and external triggers and you'll see there are dozens of choices from $10 to $200-plus.

be carefull to buy some  2 ply meshheads , it  very important ....

extreme triggers are extremely simple to DIY ... and IMO extremely too expensive for what they are ...!

maybe if you have some time you could do them easily yourself for about 5 dollar each (  16 times less than their price !!!) ...  with the money you save , you could even buy a 2 box HIHAT and some cheap dual zone cymbals , a hihat stand and some sticks ....

And if you dont want to DIY , take a look at those ... http://www.wronka-drums.de/shop/easytrigger/easytrigger/easytrigger-snare-tom.php

they cost 33 euro when an extreme trigger costs 80 dollars ... and they look much better and a lot more reliable ....

this is what a extreme dual trigger looks like   ...


extremely ugly for something sold 80 bucks !!!!......and now this




for half the price , and also , they have the sensor on top of the foam , just like 2box pads ...

I dont work for wronka ... and wont buy any of those because i do my own sensors  , but i think they are extremely well done and well priced ....

have a nice day

Hi and thank you for the tip the wronka looks excellent just wish they had the details about the product in english, is it a dual trigger? can it be used as a kick trigger? does it come with a external input jack?and how much for customs fees when it's deliveredto the usa?

what I meant by external input jack is can I plug into the trigger from the outside of the drum shell? I have a module and hat that i'm using with some roland and alexis pads just don't care for the toy sizes.

you will need some of these : http://www.thomann.de/fr/neutrik_nys_221.htm



and some stereo cable ... you can use a male jack plug , or simply connect the cable to the pins of the sensor's female jack ....

Cool so I see they have an external jack solution but it's the same price as the trigger which brings it a little over the price of the extreme drum triggers plus the customs fees uhg lol. They do look better than the extremes though maybe I'll just cut a hole in the tom and snare bottom heads and directly plug my cables in and just have a hole in the front kick head.First I need to get a really cheap acoustic set, ddrum makes some cheap drums that I won't feel bad about drilling lol.

[digitalDrummer]

What about ddrum redshots? Cheap, very effective and easy to install.

[Dr.Skins]

hmmm but would that be an upgrade in triggering quality compared to the pads I have now?
