Adaptable Kit with USB interface and Drag and Drop Editing

2 Box DrumIt Five MKII is an open sound drum system giving the user the freedom to choose which sounds to play and which heads to use with them. The system is built around a high strength, low weight pad/cymbal and stand system. Add to this an extremely powerful percussion module with a large on-board Flash memory, and you have the foundation for a truly ground breaking, new sensation in electronic drums.

2 Box DrumIt Five MKII has a specially designed rack stand which is focused to be light-weight, roadworthy and easy to set-up. It allows the user to adjust the pads and cymbals to there particular playing style. The kick position is adjustable but mounted to the stand. Use the head of your choice. The DrumIt Five system offers the possibility to play any type of regular drum head, mesh head or the new rubber head. All heads are exchangeable in the same way as you would change a drum head on a regular drum.

By means of the DrumIt Five editor (PC/Mac), you can make your own multi-sampled sounds from wave, aiff or rex files for the 2Box Drumit 5. Together with sounds from the DrumIt library, you can create any kit you desire.

The pads on the DrumIt Five come in a range of sizes from 8 to 14 inch. They all feature head and rim sensors. Although the pads are of a lightweight design, they are cast in aluminum and extremely strong. Play along. The DrumIt Five module allows you to trigger loops by hitting a pad, play to your own sequences or connect your media player to the line in socket.

The DrumIt editor allows the user to create kits on their computer by way of easy drag-and-drop editing. Sounds can be played from the virtual pads to check how the kit will sound. The multi-channel, multi-layered DrumIt sounds can be remixed and adjusted to the user's own taste. New multi-layered sounds can be created from wav, aiff or rex files. All these can be downloaded via USB to the DrumIt module. Play the Hi-Hat the way you are used too. The DrumIt hi-hat works the same as a conventional acoustic hi-hat, i.e. the playing surface moves up and down. It has the same silent rubber surface as the cymbals. The built-in sensor detects the vertical movement which, together with the multi-zone trig sensor, enables to reproduce the broad sound palette inherent to a hi-hat.

Download by USB. When DrumIt Five is connected to a computer by USB, all sounds and kits can easily be downloaded to the internal Flash memory. Use the editor to download complete kits or just drag-and-drop from the computer's file manager.
