3.0 out of 5 stars fun while it lasted, July 1, 2009

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Xbox 360 Guitar Hero World Tour - Stand Alone Drums (Accessory)

First of all i would like to say this game is a lot of fun and a great invention. The drums are very realistic, and so are the beats. As a real drummer I can say that it realates well to actually playing drums except for the fact it only has two cymbals and three drums.

THe first thing that broke on my drum set was the hardware and the stand. Occasionly i would find screws and bolts that go on the drum set on the floor. I have no clue how they got out of place. The next thing that broke was the orange/crash/ride/right cymbal. it would not work if i hit it, even with a very large amount of force. the next thing that broke was the yellow/high hat/left cymbal. same problem

all of that happened, and i havent even had the game for a year yet.
One thing is that i played this game at the expert level and played it everyday usually more then once. So you could say i was hard on the drum set.

The game is very very fun and enjoyable and even better when playing with other people or online. THe only problem is the drum set breaks. I recommnd buying the game and drumset because it is totally worth it even if it does break in a somewhat short amount of time. For me, I did not mind replacing it because I love the game so much. But instead of replacing it with the Guitar Hero brand drums, I bought the Rockband 2 set which consists of only four drums heads and a foot pedal but no cymbals. That alone costed only 40 dollars. I also bought the three cymbal expansion pack for the rockband drums for only 40 dollars as well. so i get three drum heads, and three cymbals for cheaper then this drumset which is less sterdy.

So i recommend buying this drum set first, to see how much u like the game and if u experienced the same problems i did, then buy the rockband set and expansion pack for 20 dollars cheaper. HOPE THIS HELPED AND HAVE FUN

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.

This drumset is extremely responsive and durable. The pads are heavily rubberized, which makes less noise than an original Rock Band 1 kit. The pedal is extremely durable and, after half a year, has shown no signs of wear or damage. Stock drumsticks have started to splinter and chip. Third party drumsticks are recommended, such as Promark 5ANs or Ludwig 5ANs. Acceptable battery life.
