I recently upgraded my home studio setup with some new equipment and was doing some tests…but I ended up with sampling some nice cymbals. (I have the whole range in the Paste PST7 series – about 9 cymbals – all have not been launched yet!)
I first made a recording of a 14″ Thin Crash in the PST7 Series with 3 zones (bow, edge and bell), 74-80 layers each, about 235 layers in total creating a 126MB file. Then I continued with a 10″ splash, 18″ China and a 20″ Ride. (more will follow) I was using all my old knowledge of creating and editing sounds for 2box and the result can be found here if anybody is interested.
It has been a fantastic year for Zourman Drums! With great customer interest, sales and feedback in our hi-hat modules, ride modules and samples which made our year to a great success!
We will continue to push for new exciting e-drum solutions in 2023! Stay tuned! Wishing you all customers, partners and music friends – a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year and some free time behind the drums!

Some product news from Zourman Drums!
64 GB CardMod for 2box modules
We have been able to source a 64GB SD Card which both works fantastic with all DrumIt modules – something which have been confirmed by customers. The amount of kits which you can store on the card feels unlimited! The secret behind the success, is first to find a working SD Card (could be tricky) and second is to prepare it with the special knowledge on how to partition and formatting the card for use with 64GB. The SD card can be bought as standalone or in a card mod package with a 21 cm SD extension cable. All cards have gone through extensive testing before shipping. Link to the store and more information.
2box samples from Zourman!
The release 2 (from March 2020) the Zourman Drums snare samples with a 1922s Ludwig Black Beauty and Swedish 101Drums snares are still selling well for customers looking for something extra for their snare sound! In these releases we included all our 2box knowledge (From the work with the sounds found in the DrumIt Five MKII build) in terms of mixing, cutting, levels, optimized silence and created 4 different acoustic treatments of the snare sounds – from dry, normal, effect to wet.
These package all includes 3 zones: head, rim and rimshot. For the updated samples, have a look at zourman.com Previous buyers can logon to the account page and download V2 for free.
Some 2box knowledge with Lustark Drumit Manager and Dsound Manager
I have compiled together a couple of videos with tutorials about the basics how to import/export 2box settings and sound banks from an old Drumit Five build to a new and fresh downloaded build (for Three or MKII) from 2box.se.
Another tool which is included in the DrumIt Manager is the Dsound Manager – a great tool for manipulating 2box sounds and settings.
One of the functions found in Dsound Manager is the ability to set the volume per zone on existing dsnd files! A fantastic function! See this video about how this feature works!
