5.0 out of 5 stars Ion Drum Rocker Cymbals, April 26, 2009

The cymbals are awesome, all there is to it, makes it a more realistic drumming experience!

and I know alot of people have problems, specifically, the cymbals will get to where you hit the cymbal once, and it registers 3-4 hits. I had this problem as well, but it's a simple fix, or was for me anyway, look under the cymbal, see all those screws? Just tighten them up a little. It fixed my double-triple hit problem. They come loose with play, thus when you hit, the screws will cause enough vibration and the sensor thinks you have hit the cymbal more than once. Hope this helps people!

5.0 out of 5 stars 1 cymbal, not 2, December 23, 2008

The product is top notch, but be careful. The detail product description mentions that 2 cymbals come with the kit. The kit only comes with ONE cymbal. I think the confusion stems from the product name "Rock Band 2 Cymbal Expansion". It's not a 2 Cymbal Expansion for Rock Band.... It's a Cymbal Expansion for Rock Band 2.

This cymbal trigger functions just like the two that are included with the ION Drum Rocker game controller. I used a gift certificate to make this effectively a $20 purchase, and let me tell you, at $45 I wouldn't be nearly as satisfied as I am right now.

Setup is relatively easy, though partial disassembly of your kit may be required depending on where you want to position this cymbal. Function so far is comparable to the original cymbals - in other words you may have to play with the mount a little to dial it in just right. As with the original pieces, it's a "clunker", making a rather loud, dull noise when struck.

I have also used Pintech TC triggers with my ION, and while a bit more expensive overall, they are quieter - and in my opinion have a better feel to them.
