for $150, I don't think I'll get it , but it looks awesome.

wonder if it will work with Rockband and Guitar Hero 4.

Other instruments looks cool too.

It says the drums include a hihat and crash, but does anyone know if the game actually supports the additional inputs?

It's hard to tell how these things actually look from drawings.

Sweet! If those work with the PS3 RB game perfectly I am all over them.

They're definitely more expensive and i've been burned with Mad Catz controllers before but I haven't bought a drum set for RB yet and I really wanted cymbals to go crazy on.

What's with that "portable drum kit" for $50? How small exactly are they?

The hi-hat and symbol are additions made for the GH4 drumkit, whether they'd have any use for Rock Band - who knows? Could be nothing more than pure authenticity for a drum kit, finish your huge improv-solo then crash it out! RAWWWWWWKKKK!

I will say though - that telecaster is saweeeeeeeet!

They could work in RB2 if Harmonix decides to change it around to keep up with GH4. Plus the site says Harmonix gave them the go-ahead to be the official 3rd party producer so i'm guessing they've talked to them about things like this.

I really wish somebody would make their game midi compatible. It would be an instant buy for me if they did.

I'm digging that microphone and drum set. I need a new microphone after throwing it across the room in a fit of rage. The wire mesh is badly dented now.

Thanks a lot, Boston. Those fucking notes are impossible to hit and now I have a screwed up microphone as a result.

They are just redundant, the right one is the Green Pad, the left one is the Red Pad, the additional Kick is just another yellow pad.

one of the ones on the GHWT drums is just your green pad, and the other is the additional input.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
