ZOURMAN DRUMS GUIDE for ROLAND™ VH-11/12/13 HI-HATS & CY-12CR, CY-13R/15R Rides for 2BOX™ DRUMIT THREE

We’d first like to take a moment and congratulate you for purchasing a 2box Drumt It Three module.

The 2box module has become popular among e-drummers, mostly for its real samples and open-source approach. And while the new "Three" module is compatible with triggers from other manufacturers, users still needs some guidelines setting up the hi-hats and three zone rides cymbals. This product guide from Zourman Drums will enable 2box owners to easier navigate through the settings – particularly the popular Roland range.

For DrumIt Five users our conversion modules still combines the best of both worlds: the Roland + ATV Hi-hats and three zones rides together with the 2box module.

In the factory sounds shipped with DrumIt Three - one version of Zourman Drums 1920s Black Beauty 3 zone snare sample exists. You can buy and download the rest of this snare samples at www.zourman.com.

Happy Drumming

GENERAL 2BOX MODULE NOTES.Always upgrade to the latest 2box firmware/OS for 2box. [Three 1.32.4 and Five 1.32.4] before entering any setup process to avoid strange behaviour and also utilize the latest functionality. The current firmware can always be found http://2box-drums.com/ website. If you face problems, a common recommendation is to start with a fresh Drumit.dkt file. Don’t forget to backup your existing file on the module.

SETTINGS FOR ROLAND VH-11Before doing the calibration process on 2box DrumIt Three• Connect the hi-hat PAD (Bow/Edge) to hi-hat input A using a stereo

(TRS) cable.• Connect the hi-hat pedal to hi-hat input B using a stereo (TRS) cable. • A good starting point is by rotating the clutch screw on the VH-11 hihat

from its 100% fully closed position to about two turns (720 degrees) towards open.

• Let the Hi-Hat clutch fall down on the Hi-Hat controller by its own weight.

2box DrumIt Three Calibration• Set HTYP to DEF on the HCAL PAGE• Adjust the RAW value when the hi-hat is in the closed & own weight

position to about 850 by using a screwdriver to change the setting of the recessed screw (HH Cal) on the module's back panel.

• Press calib button two times slowly. This will start the calib process and then set the closed position value.

• Secure the Hi-Hat clutch at a comfortable height for playing. (I would say 1-1.5 cm gap from closed to open)

• Press the calib button to finish and store the open position.• Adjust the GAIN on the TRIG Page. When hitting hard you should just get 0 db on level max.

After calibration process• To make the hi-hat to get a more smooth and longer halfopen etc...rotate the VH-11 clutch screw towards

open about a quarter to a half turn. • I have found that a quarter turn towards close (from the default position mentioned above) makes the best

results to make it more sharp, exact and fast!• Adjust the HSET pages according to my pictures. The pedal chick is very sharp and very high according to

rest of the sounds - my suggestion is to bring Sens and Curve down according to the picture of HSET page. • I have also found that by adjusting PFACT about -5 steps from the original value gives a bit smoother hi-hat

operation.• Ready!
