 Drums are crap September 8, 2010
Laurence N. Cutrone (Long Island NY)
PLEASE do not buy these drums! After about 2 weeks of moderate playing problems started. Now, not even a year later, every time I play there is a problem. I had to disassemble it and fix the wiring underneath. Activision warranty service gives you the run around too. These are poorly made and designed. They are extremely frustrating to use. They also can't withstand being repeatedly hit with a metal baseball bat... I'll chalk that up to poor build quality.
 Broke almost immediately August 4, 2010
Anwar Muhaimin
My drum set broke about 2 weeks after I brought it. The orange symbol went first then the yellow. Very annoying, I basically wasted 100 dollars because I only got to play on them 2 or 3 times. I was warned about the lack of durability but since my last drum set was guitar hero and lasted about a year I thought it would be okay. Well now I will definitely not buy this product again and am switching to a rock band drum set. I am very disappointed in this product but can't give it a complete bad review because even though I won't be able to send it back, so I'm still out 100 bucks, Amazon was willing to take it back. As someone who has owned this product twice and both times it has broken, one time almost immediately, I 100% recommend you don't get this and get a rock band drum set. It's a shame too because I have been an Amazon customer for years and this has been my only bad experience with Amazon.
 A realistic drumming experience May 8, 2010
Jonathan Mettin (Philadelphia, PA USA)
I'll focus this review on the drum set itself, as the game mechanics of actually playing it will vary from game to game.
First off, it is worlds more realistic than the original four-pad Rock Band kit. The raised cymbals do a lot to add that nice touch of accuracy, but I personally have found them to be not as sensitive as the other pads, and I had to train myself to give them a little extra "umph" when I hit them. I also wished they could be adjusted on the horizontal plane because they overlap the pads below them when looking from above. This is a problem as my 6'1" frame tends to tower over the kit, which itself doesn't go up very far either, though I suppose you could stack the kit on something if you don't play in such a way that you would knock it over.
Another difference from the Rock Band set is that there is not as much noise when you hit the pads - I no longer drown out the song as I play.
There is an option to add in a second kick pedal, which is a necessity if you want to play the songs that have an "Expert+" difficulty option.
Out-of-the-box assembly isn't too hard, even if you don't get the manual with it. It does look a bit flimsy though - I have to give the Rock Band kits an edge on that one.
 Excellent set March 3, 2010
Joseph Zabler IV (Manitowoc, WI)
I played Rock Band drums for 2 years and decided to switch. The Guitar Hero drum kit is more realistic. The only knock I have on them is how far the drums can be extended upward. I am 6ft. 5in. and can barely get my knees under them at full extension. I prop them up on storage bins when I play.
 Great! February 6, 2010
Simon J. Peterson (College Park, MD)
I ordered these drums around Christmas time and they are still working great! The drum pedal was a little sticky when I first started playing, but it no longer sticks and registers notes fine. I am currently playing on medium and it seems I will be able to work my way up to expert without the drums breaking down before then. Here's hoping!
