2box Sweden releases the DrumIt Five electric drum system

DrumIt Five is an open sound system electronic drum kit giving the user the freedom to choose which sounds to play and which heads to use. 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.

Key features include the option to play regular drum head, mesh head or the new rubber head.

The included software (PC/Mac), allows you to make your own multi-sampled sounds. Together with sounds from the DrumIt library, you can create any kit you desire. The DrumIt software 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. All kits can then loaded to the module via USB and easy drag & drop.

The cymbals behave as their acoustic counterpart. They are free to swing on their stand and can be played at any part of the surface. They all have three zones: bell, ride and edge. By gripping the edge one can choke the cymbal sound. The DrumIt hi-hat works the same as a conventional acoustic hi-hat, i.e. the playing surface moves up and down. 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.
