Tobi a jazz/funk drummer in Germany:
Yes, I am happy with it! I have tested it I compared it to the original and other solutions and it works much better. Still not optimal since it is not like the real hi-hat but much more precise. It follow Hi hat openings faster than other 2box solutions due to the Roland chip based solution.
I will soon test it on a FD-9 and will test this next week
Note: The FD-9 test did actually turned out to be successful – so it is now official supported!
We are extremely pleased to announce a new distributor/dealer, Electronic Drum Center in the United States!
EDC will sell our Roland hi-hat conversion kits for 2box at the US market!
The first edition targets Roland FD-8/VH-11 Hi-hats!
EDC was rated as the best e-drum dealer in North America by digitaldrummer magazine 2014
Last weekend was dedicated to the production of Zourman hi-hat conversion kits at our “secret lab” in the north part of Sweden. We (me and my dad) also got a chance to test some new inventions which perhaps may become Zourman new products in the future.
We also patched a 2box module with an external memory card access for a friend. We do this in a rather special way – see my other old post at powerhell.se. Then we had a great brainstorm about another found issue on the original 2box hi-hat. We will see were this lead…
A great weekend and we do now have plenty of boxes in stock!

A real dream start for a new e-drum gear, a great review in digitalDRUMMER of the Zourman Drums hi-hat conversion kit, (formally called 42Box)
Read the review in online: 2box meet Roland, page 36!

Wednessday 6/4-2016 the first hi-hat conversion kit was launched for the 2Box Drumit5 module. The first 42Box model targets the Roland FD-8 and VH-11 hi-hats. Over 230 visitors took a look during the first day on the website – looking on the product and watched the videos etc.
A lot of great feedback received on the product on the forums like http://vdrums.com and 2box-forum.com and also digitalDrummers facebook page with comments how to improve, requests for more hi-hat models, create conversion kit for Roland 3 Way rides and to create a multichannel box to handle too hot e-cymbals/pads with variable resistor.
So I am really amazed by all feedback! Thanks!!
