I've had the chance to use both the RB2 and GH:WT drums and it's no contest. If the drums are at all important to you, get GH:WT because they are better in just about every way.

 

I have to agree.  I will warn folks like rocketpig though, if you're used to RB drums it will take some time to get used to the raised pads and the positioning in general. The time varies by person, but you should be mostly acclimated in 20 to 30 minutes, but you will continue to have mixups and silly mistakes for..well I'm not sure how long, but I'm guessing for at least a week or two before I'll be fully accustomed.With that said, not owning RB and only playing occasionally I was only playing on hard drums so mileage may vary for other skill levels.

The kick pedal however will take no time at all to fall in love with (or at least everyone I play with prefers it in a massive way).  The WT kick pedal is a lot more comfortable and less tiring to use and gives you a slight tactile and audio feedback when you've hit the pad.  In general I'm very pleased with the WT drums.

@fishyjoe,

What difficulty are you playing "On the Road Again" that you're having troubles? I'm working my way up through hard and I had a bit of trouble with timing there myself but I'm able to get long streaks of correct timing and then screw up during transitions and have to "find" the timing again.
