Rock Band 3 Drum Set By Tev B
I absolutely LOVE this drum set! It was an upgrade from the Guitar Hero World Tour drum set. It was very well packaged which is expected. The instructions to put this thing together weren't necessarily "idiot proof" but I did eventually get it set up how I wanted it in about 30 minutes. You can adjust the height of the individual cymbals and the drum set as a whole however you like.
This drum set is very sturdy. I like to POUND the drums and this set can take it well. The packaged drum sticks are thicker than the Guitar Hero ones. Its a good thing, but they create a little more noise and I live in an apartment. So I may invest in some Rock Band drum silencers.
Also, I noticed a lot of people complain about the yellow cymbal slowly lowering after a certain amount of hits. I won't sit here and they put it together wrong, but I have never had any problems with my cymbals. As stated before, I hit the drums a little harder than the average person and my cymbals are in the same place I installed them.
Another good thing is that this drum set does not take up a WHOLE LOT OF SPACE! For it to have 4 pads and 3 cymbals you would think otherwise.
One main thing I wondered before buying this drum set was if it was compatible with any games besides Rock Band. I own a few Guitar Hero games myself. But this set does work with all of my Guitar Hero games that have drum capabilities. (GHWT, GH5) They even changed the highway to 4 notes because I don't have the fifth one like the Guitar Hero drums. I assume it will work with all the other GH games. I guess it should if it costs that much.
In Rock Band 3 it is supposed to have a pro feature where the cymbals and bass pads will have their own notes. I'm really looking forward to that and it actually played a big role in swaying my mind to buy it.
I think this drum set is very attractive. A BIG step from the Guitar Hero one, and every time I look at this drum set it makes me want to pop in the game and get my Travis Barker on. So definitely worth the money but ONLY if you like to drum.
I hope I answered any questions in the review. If not, comment and let me know.The kit works but.. By Zachary J. Bettis
These drums kits work great, but if you're an expert drummer that plays songs such as everlong, and really any song with drum rolls; These pads get on peoples nerves. Not only can they be loud, but they tend to have a "bubble" effect, after about 2 weeks of play. This mainly happens on the snare (red) pad. These bubbles on the pad are formed from the impact of drum rolls, they cause the rubber to deform and peel from the glue holding them to the set. Now when this happens your accuracy begins to drop and it becomes much harder to play. While there are fixes to this, such as peeling the rubber off and reapplying new/better glue. Honestly i don't feel i should have to use a DIY method with a product at this price.
The cymbals also have some issues. You may get lucky, but on my set, the yellow and blue cymbals both double-hit each time I hit them, causing me to almost never get a multiplier. When playing rock band 3 pro mode, I have to turn off the yellow and blue because only my green cymbal works correctly.
Don't get me wrong these drums work great for anyone below the expert difficulty, but if you are a big rock band fan or drummer, invest in a ION drum set, they last much longer.Repackaged RB2 kit with new cymbals By Anna O
Beware, these drums are not anything new. The kit is the RB2 kit that's just been repackaged and called Pro because it contains three cymbals as well. If you have a RB2 kit already you will not be upgrading your drums if you buy this kit. You're better off waiting for the cymbal expansion pack that's to be released, I think, when the game drops. I'm not sure if the RB2 kit came with this too but in the box was an adapter that enables you to use two kick pedals.
Out of the box, the setup was the same for the drums. The cymbals are another matter. The plastic parts need a significant amount of force to snap closed and if you don't snap them, they will slowly ride down the pole when you hit them.
I had a problem with the blue and green cymbals. Since these cymbals are fully covered in rubber unlike the old ones which only had a section of rubber, the rubberized surface adds a significant amount of weight to them. Once I had the clamp tightened as far as I could get it, the clamp still started to slide down. I put some clothy-type tape over the plastic rim that the clamp covers and it's been working okay so far.
I gave it three stars because I really wish they provided sturdier plastic on these cymbal holders since they feel very lightweight for the cymbals that now have some weight to them. If they were stronger material, they probably could have made them longer so you could put the yellow cymbal more to the left.
Also, the blue and green are right next to each other so even with the blue elevated to a reasonable height, half of the green cymbal is covered by the blue one. I'm not a drummer so I don't know if on a typical kit these are so close but it looks way too close. I'm sure once you play a while you'll get used to it though.
Overall, it's a great kit and doesn't take a up a lot of space. The pads are not as loud as I thought they would be so that's helpful. The cymbals make a thunk sound but nowhere near the sound that the original RB kits made. That was tapping on a tabletop.
