My kit has gone through some changes since it was featured in Digital Drummer and I thought I'd share some info and pics.
I ditched the 2box module, not because it wasn't great but...I never play out anymore and just use my kit for jamming and recording and I only use Superior Drummer.
I'm now running a TD6 for all my drums and Trigger IO for all my cymbals. I found a post, I think on DMDrummer about choking cymbals with the Trigger IO. I found that wiring the tip of a TRS jack to a metal cymbal will give you a choke just by touching the cymbal, no choke strip required, I tried it and it worked!
I then sold all my cymbals and have been collecting GEN16's to convert to triggers. The crashes and splashes are all single zone with choke, the ride is dual zone and the china is single zone. I trimmed them out with rubber, similar to the rubber rim protectors on the toms and they are almost silent!
I also ditched the Roland rack and built a nice chrome Gibraltar to hold it all up.
Everything works great and looks even better!
