This drum set is a great value for under $30. If you have Guitar Hero World Tour (PS3) it works great, thats why I bought it. The software automatically converts the game play to 4 spaces from 5 (since guitar hero world tour drums have 5 drum pads, and this has only 4). If you're considering buying guitar hero world tour drums, not only will you spend $80 more on ebay for them, they don't work as good. I've played both a good amount and the symbols on the guitar hero drums set often fail to respond. You have to hit them just right, its very annoying. Just type "symbol problem guitar hero drums" in google and you'll see many people complaining about this issue. Another issue with the guitar hero drum set is that it doesn't have a bar to hold the bass kick in place. I have to commonly pause the game to readjust it. This one does have a bar, and the all of the drum pads work every time. If they cost the same I'd still buy this one.
My reccomendation, buy guitar hero world tour bundble (often available for $60 many places) add this for $27, and add a mic for $15, you get the whole set for about $100, can't beat that.

Pro: Compatible with guitar hero world tour ps3, inexpensive, very responsive, Pretty sturdy set for the money, has bar for bass kick.

Cons: Its wired, which isn't a big deal for me, and it doesn't have the symbols (which are fun when they work). I've read alot of reviews about the bass kick breaking, but I've used mine alot for about month with no problem.

Conclusion: If you own guitar hero world tour (ps3) you should buy this drumset.

I got my Rock Band Drum Set in the mail the other day. This review is only for the drum set since the game hasn't arrived yet. I was really suprised when I opened the box. I was honestly expecting cheap flimsy plastic. For a "toy" it is really pretty sturdy. It has some weight to it (the shipping thing says 30something lbs.), so it won't be sliding all over the place. The drum heads are rubbery. It also comes with wooden drum sticks. It is really more than I expected...I don't feel so bad for paying what I did for it. ;)

This is the old version of the drums. They do not work with the cymbals and do not work with "PRO" mode on Rock Band 3 (you need the Cymbals for that). It's nearly impossible to find affordable RB2 or RB3 drums, so you may have to settle on these. They're not a very good value for $90.

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my 12 year old son. He had ask for Rock Band 2 for Christmas and I had a hard time finding this item in the local stores. He thinks it is awesome and plays it everyday. The drums do come with two drum sticks.

I used this for rock band 2 for almost a year now and it never broke and works great even though me and my friends played really hard on it

These are great drums that work very well. Contrary to othere customer reviews, I have had mine for over a month and had no problems whatsoever. Although these drums are not wireless, they are very cheap and reliable. The only problem is that the foot pedal is at a really high angle, which makes your leg sore after a while, but otherwise it is a great buy. These Drums are compatible with Rock Band, Rock Band 2, and Guitar Hero World Tour.

My son loves this game and plays it more than any other. I rate it a 5 for fun but a one overall as it is expensive and is not made very well. The bad thing about this drum set is the foot pedal. It is cheap and not very sturdy. As a matter of fact the drum set that I just purchased less than a month ago already has a broken foot pedal. This is the second broken foot pedal for us in a three month period . Contacting the mfg is difficult and getting it replaced is difficult. They really need to make a better pedal and also should make it so that the pedal can be purchased as a separate component with buying a complete new drum set. Look on the Internet under "rock band drum pedal" and see how many people have had the same problem with breakage.

if u get rock band drums make sure to protect your investment with a metal drum pedal the pedal is very weak and can break under stress fairly easy

Rock Band Drums are really fun. The problem is that they break often, so you'll be left buying one every few weeks. This listing, however, is extremely overpriced. I can get a brand new set locally for around $20-30. Fun, not very durable, amazon price is terrible.

Great set of drums that are very universally compatible. Works on all my PS2 GH & RB games, and also works on all my PS3 GH & RB games. I know that some of the newer GH games don't accept these drums though, so make sure you research which games this set is compatible on.

Regarding the foot pedal: It is more sturdy than most people say. I am a hard striker - I bash the pads, and I kick very hard on the pedal. It still works just fine, especially considering I share this drum set with others who live miles away, so even transportation doesn't wear down this drum set.
