Finally got my 2Box Drumit 5

[GenuineHuman]

Hey, congratulations for your drumkit!!! I envy you somewhat.  

EDIT: Darnit, it's you. I thought another one got the kit.

Exactly, a standard snare stand renders a double pedal unplayable in this situation...

Edcito, thanks for the help in the other thread. Question: what exactly (brand) did you used for attaching the snare to the frame? Is it stable enough compared to the original feet?

It looks like Gibraltar no leg snare stand (http://www.gibraltarhardware.com/?fa=detail&mid=1189&sid=687&cid=123)

You can also try a stand with an offset snare basket if you prefer usual three leg construction.

Yeah, that's the one
Attached to the lower tube with this: http://www.gibraltarhardware.com/?fa=detail&mid=271&sid=86&cid=31

It doesn't have to be all Gibraltar though, if you can find a tube and some rack clamps (I think pearl are cheaper) you can DIY..

thanks mates,
in the nearby future i am wanting to learn double bass. So a solution is needed.

Anyway, how big is the rack? What would be the minimum size for a carpet to fit underneath? I just got pads and brain yesterday and I'm still waiting for the rack and I'm so impatient ... it's killing me. I have to go buy a carpet to compesate for not having the rack (and be able to play) yet!

Thanks.

EDIT: Weeeeee, I just got the rest and I have no idea where to start... no idea if that's because I'm too excited or because there is quite a lot of stuff to put together.

Hey mate, how are you doing with the kit? all set up and running?

[GenuineHuman]

Hey, thanks. Everything is alright. This was the best purchase I've made over the last few years. I always wanted to play drums! It's been good two weeks now and I think I'm talented. Seriously, I think I'll be a better drummer than I'm a guitar/bass player and I've been playing guitars for about 10 years.

Definitely not getting the same sound as when I click the kick button..... the rest of the pads yeah but the kick is really really quiet.
Edit: I just disassembled the kick to have a look at the sensor:
both 2 cables are soldered, but I notice the foam on the left side is a bit longer and touches the sensor? Maybe I cut a bit to avoid it touching the sensor?
Final Edit: Well I removed the foam completely and the kick now triggers perfectly so the foam is definitely the culprit here.....
remove it now if you have trigger issues!

Hello,
just bought the drumit5 mk2 and I have the same problem. Won't removing the foam void the warranty ? I guess I'll try using another head first...

i set all my equipment to 11...
