>>> Summary
(-1 star on value, -1 star unusable pedal, -1 star noisy cymbals)
This Logitech kit is difficult to evaluate; one of the most puzzling products I've reviewed. Put simply, it's a significantly more adjustable replacement of the stock GHWT kit for 3x the price, which happens to be slightly less than the price of the Ion Drum Rocker.
The Ion Drum Rocker is more adjustable, quieter, explicitly supports RB, supports 3rd party pedals, ships with an additional pad (which makes playing RB easier) and a higher quality metal bass pedal for just $20 more. Granted, the Logitech kit doesn't suffer from some of the construction issues the Ion does (the Logitech kit is a one-piece, collapsible set - it's main advantage) although with the Ion you just get so much more.
Please have a read of my impressions below and comment if you think there's something I could be missing. As it stands, I'm just puzzled as to how Logitech could release this...Read more

After receiving the Logitech wireless guitar and becoming a Guitar Hero/Rock Band family, we jumped at the chance to own the Logitech drum kit. Personally, I will remain the guitar/bass player while Hubby loves to rock out on the drums. Are they fun? Yes. Is it tricky? At first, as in most things. Are they noisy? Oh my... are they! It gets to the point that his drumming or my own, drowns out every other sound making us blast the surround sound. The drum kit is composed of rubber pieces, and in retrospect it shouldn't make noise, but it does because of the plastic rim that may be accidently hit with each "tap".
Now onto my serious issues with this drum set. That footpedal drives me insane, and not because I can't remember it; but rather because it shifts around my hardwood floors while my foot moves up and down making me bang down my foot so that it will record my "hits". I feel that it may be remedied only if you have carpeting in your home, but not by placing a...Read more

This is going to be a long review, so for those with the attention span of a gnat (like myself) here's the short version: Don't buy it.
I've included a lot of pictures, hopefully they'll help illustrate and inform.
What's Wrong:
----------------------------
Compatibility issues, basic construction problems and cheap parts for very high price
What's Right:
----------------------------
Nice pad bounce back, quiet drum heads, collapsible for storage, sturdy frame
The Pedal
---------
Issue #1 for any plastic drum fan of either Rock Band or Guitar Hero is the drum pedal. There are simply no good stock pedals out there. Whether you're buying the default "Band Pack" bundled with the game or if you're buying the former high-price drum master the ION Drum Rocker, the pedals always stunk. Unfortunately Logitech's entry does nothing to change this sad legacy.
On the plus side, the bundled pedal has a metal...Read more
