2Box DrumIt 5 MKII Electronic Drum Module

Full Description

Open Sound Architecture

If your skills have exceeded your current module, you'll hear, and feel the difference. You'll be playing tight rolls and cymbal crescendos with ease thanks to the many velocity layers - essential for authentic dynamic expression.

With loads of multilayered samples recorded in top studios, there's a kit for every style and plenty of sounds to mix up. But, if that's not enough, the DrumIt 5 MKII comes with a PC editor for Windows and MAC. This allows you to create new sounds and loops from wave files, convert them to 2Box's special format, and download them. That means any audio WAV file you want can be converted and added to the module, giving you unmatched customisability. Time to get creative!

Import your favourite sound libraries

One of the unique aspects of the DrumIt 5 MKII is the ability to play sounds from famous drum sound libraries instead of triggering sounds via MIDI to a PC. This is possible by using third party software to convert the libraries, and download them. Not only is that endlessly fun, you won't experience any latency or irritating compatibility issues associated with MIDI use. Easy access module, your favourite sounds, and ultra-low latency, perfect!

Moving on up

A significant upgrade from the original DrumIt 5 comes from the MKII's huge flash storage capacity. 32GB of memory gives you the chance to store eight times as many kit sounds, allowing you to make full use of the handy "Switch Kit Up/Down" feature, assignable to any of the 15 trigger inputs. Add to that the hardwearing aluminium body and a facelift based on the DrumIt 3's sleek black design, and you've got a future-proof drum module that looks the part and is sure to go the distance.

Stay in the groove

The Universal Trigger Interface allows the user to assign functions to triggers. That means if you have a few spare triggers, you can use them to control the module functions. For example hitting a pad to stop and start a loop or a metronome. You can stay in the groove with this useful feature, perfect if you're doing a live set and don't want to kill the mood.

Hybrid Drumming - The Best of Both Worlds

Hybrid drumming is becoming more popular for a reason. It allows you to combine your regular acoustic kit with the limitless options of electronic sound. Possible at a relatively affordable price, it's great for enhancing drums at live shows.

The DrumIt 5 MKII module features universal compatibility for any pad or trigger from popular manufacturers, including hi-hat and cymbal functionality. So you could hook up the inexpensive 2Box TrigIt trigger pack (or other triggers) to the module, attach to your kit and you have a hybrid kit. Or, you could go for Remo Silent Heads, and basically turn your acoustic kit into an electronic, without spending a fortune. The DrumIt 5 MKII module is just the foundation for you to transform into something unique.
