Ciao a tutti! Ho un dubbio e spero che qualcuno qui possa aiutarmi.
Posseggo la 2Box MK1 (primo modello) ma senza Hardware. Ora vorrei acquistare solo l'hardware della MK2 che avrei trovato on line da un privato.
Stavo per fare il pagamento ma mi è venuto l'atroce dubbio che i pad della MK2 non siano compatibili con La MK1 che posseggo io.
Qualcuno sa darmi qualche informazione in meriito?
Ho letto da un post precedente che molti dei pad di altre marche non funzionano bene su 2box ma non so come sia la compatibilità fra i vari modelli della DrumIt5 
P.S. spero l'argomento non sia già stato trattato ma non mi pare di aver trovato nulla in merito nel forum
Grazie in ogni caso per l'attenzione :-)

I google translated the post:

Hi everyone! I have a doubt and I hope someone here can help me.
I have the 2Box MK1 (first model) but without hardware. Now I would like to purchase only the MK2 hardware that I found online from a private individual.
I was about to make the payment but I had the terrible doubt that the MK2 pads are not compatible with the MK1 that I own.
Can anyone give me some information on this?
I read from a previous post that many of the pads of other brands do not work well on 2box but I don't know how the compatibility is between the various models of the DrumIt5
P.S. I hope this topic hasn't already been discussed but I don't think I've found anything about it in the forum
Thanks in any case for your attention :-)

Ciao!

I pad dell'originale MK1 e Mk2 erano gli stessi. Se sono quelli arancioni/neri.

Si monteranno sul supporto L-Rod Tama Style. Si adattano perfettamente, ma si può fare.

Qualcosa di più grande, come la L-Rod in stile DW, sicuramente no.

Anche qualsiasi cosa leggermente più sottile, come il tipo su cui si montano i campanacci, funzionerà.

Spero che Google traduca la mia risposta in italiano abbastanza bene da farti capire.

Saluti dal Galles.

Hello!

The pads of the original MK1 and Mk2 were the same. If they are the orange/black ones.

They will mount on Tama Style L-Rod stand. They fit on tightly, but it can be done.

Anything larger, like DW style L-Rod, definitely not.

Anything slighlty thinner, like the kind that cowbells mount on, that will work too.

I hope google translates my reply into Italian well enough for you to understand.

Greetings from Wales.

Anche,
Altri pad funzioneranno con il modulo Mk1. L'unico vero problema che avrai sarà l'hi-hat.
Puoi utilizzare Roland Hi Hat con il modulo Mk1 con una scatola Zourman (vedi Anders qui per informazioni o https://zourman.com)

Anche i piatti ride potrebbero essere un problema se desideri 3 zone, campana, arco e bordo.

Jobeky realizza (o almeno produceva) piatti appositamente per il modulo Mk1 utilizzando un singolo cavo TRS.

Potrebbe essere un'idea inviare loro un messaggio e chiedere se lo fanno ancora.


Also,
Other pads will work with Mk1 module. The only real problem you will have is Hi-Hat.
You can use Roland Hi Hat with Mk1 module with a Zourman box (see Anders on here for information or https://zourman.com)

Ride cymbals might also be a problem if you want 3 zones, bell, bow and edge.

Jobeky make (or they did) cymbals especially for the Mk1 module using a single TRS cable.

It might be an idea to shoot them a message and ask if they still do.

Thanks so much for the info welshsteve! It was exactly what I wanted to understand. I have already checked the Zourman website and the adapter for the Hi hat is ok, while Jobeky sells its "low volume" cymbals which are made of metal and I would like them to be silent. Then I thought that another problem I might have is the dual zone of the snare. There are quite a few unknowns. I think it's a bad idea to try. Maybe I should look for original MK1 first model hardware (orange/black) but I think it will be almost impossible.

I will also try to contact Jobeky privately

You can use other pads with 2box Mk1 module. But avoid Piezo/switch style. That's things like Yamaha TP/XP pads.

The newer ones should work well as they're piezo/piezo.

You can also get decent results with an acoustic snare with a mesh head and an external rim trigger (like 2box Trigit) or Ddrum, I am told Roland RT can work too.

Internal triggers might be better. In fact, you'd do well with Triggera Intrigs, I used them with a 2box module for quite a while and found them great with Mylar heads! So they'll be good with Mesh. You'll need to increase the gain though compared to Mylar.

There's no shortage of options. With the newest OS available for 2box Mk1 modules you'll have better options for cleaner triggering between head and rim.
