How do you set it up?

Why don't we have a thread where we can see how other folks set their 2box kits up?

I know I'd be interested (nosy) in what other's get up to with theirs....

I've just changed my own set up and I'm glad now that I made the effort.
After lots of thinking that it wouldn't work, I tried changing the lower front bar so that it now curves outwards.
This way I can move the kick further over to the right and still keep it at a good angle.  I like this because
now I'm not turned away so much to the left, away from most of the kit.

I thought I wouldn't be able to reach the kick properly.... but I've put the left hand tom up on the left hand
upright - this way I can move the snare forward and bring the hihat round a bit from the left.  The left tom kind
of points in at an angle from the left, the right tom is on the front bar and pointed back towards the snare - so that
they are arranged in front of and to the right of the snare.

It works for me and feels much better.  (And by the way, I've only got short little legs so it's not something you need
to be built like Peter Crouch for).

I would give you a picture but I don't know how to do it.....
When I press the insert tool button nothing much happens.... how do you do that????

And on the subject of kick drum position does anybody else think the set up really needs to be a bit more flexible?
I was thinking maybe 2box could offer an addition plate with longer slots etc so that the kick can be moved back
and forwards and angled sideways more.

You can use the button two along from the YouTube button above the smilies.
That produces this code [ img ][ /img ]
You then put the url where you photo is hosted inbetween like this, but without gaps

Without the gaps, it gives you this!  I hope that helps. :)

Sadly not. If you wanted to email me your phot, I'd happily ost it for you?

I'd love to show you mine (so to speak!) but I don't yet have a 2Box.  :-[
I purchased a 2Box module today (hopefully to arrive tomorrow!!) but I may also buy a full kit once I see how this works with what I need it for.  8)

Hi - thanks for the offer.  I don't think there's much interest in this thread!
