- The monster kit is no more. But this suits me more at this time. New look, new sounds, new heads. Didn't get to record many of the great kits, just a few. Its great fun to play. I think black heads might look cooler. Next time......
The most realistic 'v-drum' kit I've ever heard. Cheers.
They are fantastic arent they. Great module for its age. Thanks man!
Man, this is the best the 2box kit has ever sounded. The online demos and reviews of even the Di3 and Di5 Mk II don't even come close to how good you have got his kit sounding. This video needs to be shown everywhere!!
Ha. Wow. Thanks Stephen. This video was posted/shared once by the 2Box Australia group on fb. They were also acknowledging the realism of some of the kits within. Ive been working on the patches and trigger settings for years lol. It never ends though, always evolving in some small way. I have so many sounds I haven't even looked at yet. Got some amazing sample sets from the great Jman before he sadly passed away (RIP). Some of those sounds are in this video. Life is a gift man. As is the original Drumit 5!! Stay cool. Thanks for ur support!
@@danandlea1 Hey man, keep flying the flag for 2box. With the market saturated with lots of great modules and systems, they can do with all the user input that they can get. Hell, they're not very good at marketing themselves. Which baffles me. But I defy anyone to not be impressed with how awesome these kit sound. I can tell from how you play, it doesn't just sound great but plays great too. Love the Black mofif too. If the only offered that as a finish, I really think they'd have done better. I think that they made en error making the rims plastic too, especially when the rest of the pads were so solid.
Fyi, I use a Mimic pro/Jobeky with Drone trigger systems with my gigging kit. And a load of Yamaha XP pads with PCY cymbals triggered by a Edrumin10/4 and a Mac with SSD5.5... and this is very much up there with the sound.
@@steevidrums yea I'm a loud n proud 2Box guy. I'd fly a flag if I had one lol. I was also shocked at how little promotional material was around from 2Box regarding this kit when it came out. Think I saw 1 ad in a magazine once. The word spread anyway, but slowly. The UI was a bit challenging too so many didn't get to realise their full potential, but some did. Interestingly, I did a marketing assignment on 2Box and the Drumit 5. I'm not kidding! Because I was always wondering why they weren't marketed better, or more. I'm sure there are great reasons. Also agree regarding the rims, or floating rims as they are called. Ive had to repair and rebuild quite a few of them. Regluing the black rubber strips on top and bottom of the rim. Did one a week ago. And the rubber o rings, the earlier pads only have 3 of them, newer pads have 5. Much better but there's got to be a better way these days. I haven't played any of the new line yet (di3 and di5mk2) or pads and cymbals. They look ok, but a little cheap, at a glance. I'd like real shells with triggers, like u have! One day for me maybe! Yea I like the black too, but I'm interested to see what the black heads look like on it. Will do that soon and upload something for u to see.
@@steevidrums sounds awesome man! Wasn't aware of the eDRUMin 10. Thanks! Watched some vids on it just now. Great little unit. Where are the samples coming from for it? Does it come with any?
epic dude this sounds effin killer, great playing
are they onboard sounds mate
Thanks man. Appreciate it. The sounds on this video are probably not onboard. They'd be a mix from Superior Drummer and some I was given by the great Jman (RIP). Onboards are great though. I prefer these too lol. Thanks bro. Stay cool
Looks great, although I do like the orange high lights. Love the 2box modules that I own. amazing.
Thanks man. Yea 2box are great. Love that orange! Just not the whole thing being orange. As highlights the orange rocks I agree.
After watching your video's I had to subscribe! Really enjoying what you have done with the drummit 5. The walk through the improvements etc. Super interesting as the upgrades are quality and the kit looks excellent. 10/10.
That super kind man. Thanks! I love talking about it haha. Stay cool!
Thanks for all the videos, really helpful in forming an opinion on the 2Box gear!
My pleasure man. Glad you find them useful. Thank you!
I have the drumit 3 and I can say with property, whoever has a 2 box drum module don’t need anything else 👌
Agree! Was just saying the same thing on Facebook. Way ahead of its time. Best money I’ve spent. And it was cheap! Can’t lose. Stay cool
@@danandlea1 my kit has 2 extra tom pads and same quantity of cymbals of yours but also I have one Alesis strike pro, Roland TD27 and Td11 drum modules which I’ve switching while I’m playing and every time when I turn on my drumit 3, I completely forget about them. Tomorrow I’m about to get the classic orange drumit 5 mk1 drum kit same as yours and guess what? The guy who I’ll buy the drum kit made the same upgrade which you did show here in your channel how to upgrade the memory storage. I’m kind of super excited!! Congratulations brother! I love your videos! Keeping posting more drum stuff please!
@@delbraga66 thanks brother, that’s very kind! Wow, sounds like u got a lot of gear. U can sell it all now haha! Won’t need it if u got a DI3 and a DI5 mk1. Especially with the SD expansion mod. No messing about switching between modules or playing with VSTs or DAWs. Hey, what kinda vids would u like to see next? Stay cool. Thanks for the support!
@@danandlea1 man, quickly report. I’m still have the other drum modules because I tried everything to set up my hi hats with the drumit 3 but I couldn’t. Everytime the hh sounds open. I even don’t get the foot splash sounds. I watched many tutorials on UA-cam and also I did read the manual many times. Maybe it’s my drum module problem.
@@danandlea1 thanks for reply me. I’ll love to see you posting videos playing your kit. It sounds amazing and you play very well!!
Mate, you've taken that kit to a whole new level!
I'm gonna have to seriously start looking at mine now! The standard kit seems so "vanilla" by comparison.
It is different isn't it. I still think vanilla is great though lol. Thanks man
Btw, I shared this video on one of the Facebook edrum groups. (hybrid kits - hybrid set ups - sample pads) All positive so far, no surprises!
You mentioned about the new 2box pads, they've only bundled in stock Midelli pads to make the speed light mid-priced, low footprint offering with a Drumit3 module. I have played it, it's nice, the hihat is single zones which is baffling but it's a lovely playing surface. Feels like an ATV hihat pad, but that's where the comparison ends. I was saddened they stopped the pad manufacture, it was a decent design. If they'd only made the rims metal, adopted a piezo/switch/switch system for the cymbals, and made them black (like you have) I think they'd have done a lot better. I actually think too, they might have been a few years too early too.
None the less, you still show the original Drumit 5 can sound as good as anything that is out there.
That looks sweet
Thanks Justin. Appreciate that man. I'm enjoying it. Love your work! Stay cool
Hi. Nice to see my original DI5 development is still going strong!
Wow. Never expected to wake up to a message from the man himself! You and your work are an inspiration my friend. I hope u are not upset about me changing the colour to black haha. There is still plenty of orange left (module and underside of cymbals). This module is still better than anything on the market. Totally ahead of its time. You are a huge part of that and on behalf of the edrum community, we thank you! Thanks so much for noticing my vid and taking the time to message. Hit me up anytime! Stay cool!
@@danandlea1 Thanks for your kind words!
I (still) see room for several software improvements, but I left a long time ago.
Tips, press LEVEL on the TRIG page, then you see the last 5 trigs on succession.
@@rikvanderbrugghen6792 My pleasure. Im sure its not perfect, well, I know its not perfect, but it is a great little orange box and the sound continues to blow away all the roland stuff IMO. Everyone loves how user friendly roland gear is, but most agree the drumit5 sounds more like a real kit. Its a clever little package. Some of my earlier vids show my prior setup which had two di5 modules, every input full, every tom pad split haha. A lot of fun. So yea, im a fan of your work. Had read that u had left. Still working on edrums?
Thanks for the tip! Too cool!
@@danandlea1 Great you enjoy it. And you never know what's around the corner :-)
@@rikvanderbrugghen6792 Hmmmmm! Yes. Ok. U have my attention. I look forward to that!
Nice kit 💪!! I leave you my Like 👍, Keep it up!! 🤘🚀
Thanks legend. Very kind. Appreciate it! Stay cool!
Great one!
Thanks man! I love making vids for u guys. Thanks for watching!
@@danandlea1 did you sell your 2nd kit?
@@mahiligmusic8469 swapped it for a dw kit.
You can play man.....no doubt! Self tought or.....?
Had a few lessons when i was 10 but thats about it. Little bit of pad work but not enough lol. Thanks man. Appreciate it! Stay cool
Great setup! 2box is the most realistic sounding out there but I find their products (both the module and the actual kit) too heavy duty. I hope they come out with compact versions of their module/kit.
Thanks! They are heavy duty. Module less so. But yea, they are a serious kit. You could use the new module on any kit with any pads. Check it out! Thanks
great! I also own the 2boxdrumit but can't understand the first set that you play from where it comes from, and a set that you created with sdse? Hello.
The truth is ive collected sounds from so many places ive lost track of where i got each set specifically. But if u hunt around online, talk to folks in the unofficial 2box forum u will find plenty of great sounds. Thanks!
Hey awesome kit ! I love the kind of modern look that the 2box kits got.
How much did the originals kits costs ?
And how much is this one ??
Thanks! Dunno what they cost when they came out. Lost track of what i put into this one over the years but i got lots of little deals over time. Might owe me $4k AUD. Worth every cent.
Great to see your newly painted and upgraded hardwares! Dig the black n white. How does the 32gb mod upgrade? Is that enough to put vst sounds from sd2 , etc?cheers!
Gday bud! The 32gb upgrade is awesome. Swap cards in 10 seconds, have as many cards as u want. Endless space! Best $3 i ever spent! Ebay. Installed myself using info online. Was super easy too. Thanks man!
Hey there, I fell upon your video while looking for vids on 2box and the Drumit module...great kit. Are you using the presets with the module or did you download new kits? Ive been a Roland guy but I think I’m gonna switch to 2box
No presets, though there are some fantastic 2box sample sets on their modules and website. I use samples that i have collected from others over time. Nice samples. No idea where they are from but they are amazing and this module handles them ok. The newer version might be better. Roland is easy but doesnt have the sound IMO. Havent looked at their new kits because with this, i dont have to lol. Thanks man and best of luck with the new 2box kit!!!
I do have a question about the snare triggering, When I had the Drumit5, they didn't have an effective way to get a clean rimshot/snare centre separation. You had centre or canter+rim sounds mixed in. With recent OS updates, was this figured out? While it was a nice way to layer two snares together, I did personally long for that clean head and rimshot operation that was able to be done with the drumit3 and Drumit 5 mk II. I am told that they did with LX cross talk function or something with the older Drumit5,. Is that true?
Top question! U know what? I don't know as I've never experimented with that. I'm super aware of the issue though. Bugged me too, a lot. I didn't realise what was happening specifically. Thought getting the Jobeky might have solved it, but no. I'm going to play around with this over the next week or so and get back to u on that. I hope there's a way, if not might need to hit 2Box up for a new DI5 haha.
@@danandlea1 Definitely check out the newest OS update. Drone Trigger Systems (ua-cam.com/video/350CZHggDOk/v-deo.html) is someone i HIGHLY respect in the edrum community. And in one video, he states "Old 2box updates Kicks ass" And if he says so, then it does. This guy knows his onions!
@@steevidrums OK. Awesome. Just had a look. That's fantastic! Great trigger design by the looks, offset but all around the drum. Great idea. Damn, he's got the chops too!! Just read the manual for os1.3 and it says there's 5 new (old now) trigger types. 2 of those are XPad (for head) and XRim. This setting works only for a stereo pad (der) and offers a "crosstalk depress" function to reduce crosstalk between head and rim. It says the XTALK function is different as its global, for crosstalk between all pads. Now, this might reduce crosstalk but surely won't remove the head centre sound entirely from a rimshot. If that's what u mean? OS 1.36 goes on to add X-TRG which can "ELIMINATE or minimise crosstalk between head/rim channels" and X-ADJ which is same but adjustable. So it appears there have been several advancements in that area over time. Now adjusting my settings in 1.30.3 to XPAD/XRIM it seems quite good but I'll need some time to test more.
Great playing! I'm very curious about how the imported kits sound in the module vs. how they originally sounded in the VST. Is it identical or slight differences? Thanks!
Thank you! Its identical in my opinion.
Whats the song in the intro? Cool riff
Thanks Vik, its a band im in, ZAKYTUSS. Song is ANIMAL.

How do you do the split for additional cymbals? Also, how do you connect a second module for expansion?
Get a stereo splitter cable. Splits a stereo jack into 2 mono inputs. Extra module output goes into the other modules input. Thats it. Easy peasy. Plenty help online if stuck. Thanks man!
What’s up with the pedal looking device you need for the Roland Hihat?
Its just a standard hi hat stand and a double kick pedal. You may mean the zourman. Its just a box to control how hot the signal is. Thanks
Hi, how did you add so many cymbals to the drumit? can you expain it? thanks
I have a couple of other vids that explain the setup in a bit more detail but basically i had 2 modules and every pad input that could be split, using a standard splitter cable, was split. So snare hats and ride remained stereo/dual trigger and every tom input, which there were a total of 8, could be split to 16 mono/single trigger. I never use the tom rim sound anyway. Thanks man. Stay cool.
wow so cool )) . what jobeky snare do you use . is the trigger in the center ? becouse 2box triggers better i read with a trigger on the side ? and can you give me some settings for the snare ? thank you again .greetings from Frank
It's a black 13" picollo. Centre trigger. Works great with this module. I just tested it on each snare pad setting to see what worked best. Can't see it at moment but will share settings soon. Have also mentioned my settings in other responses and vids. Thanks legend. Stay cool
@@danandlea1 thank lobster .greetings from Frank
Hello!
What drum sounds are there at 8.49? Like.
Hi. That kit is converted from the VSTI EZD2. Not sure which package as i purchased them as a bulk dump of sounds on disc. Sorry.
@@danandlea1 I have the SDSE program and the EZ drummer program too. So which set? :-)
@@TheHungyer i really dont know. The filenames dont give any clues. I dont own EZD2. I bought a disc full of random sounds off a guy, there were many folders, all this folder says is EZD2. Bummer i know...... sorry.
I hope my friend has not finished with the original beautiful color of the orange kit forever
Gday bud! Yea, no more orange. I liked it but wanted a change. Lovin the black for now. Stay cool.
How much?
ugly
Thanks Shane. U prefer the bright orange look?
