Rock Band 3 Drum Set,

This review is from: Rock Band 3 Wireless Pro-Drum and Pro-Cymbals Kit for Xbox 360 (Accessory)
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...Read more

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...Read more

Repackaged RB2 kit with new cymbals,

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...Read more
