Being an avid Rock Band fan and GH fan, I have been through 2 sets of the drums (both RB1 and RB2). Each of these sets probably have seen over 2000 songs each, so of course they were beat up a bit. This logitech set puts those to shame, but at a premium price. If you want to have a set of drums that will last you the next 5 releases of these type of games, pick this set up. If you take your drums with you all over the place, pick this set up. If you like quality (very nice pads), pick this set up. Otherwise, I would just stick with your old gear or get the bundled box of RB or GH.

I got a chance to check out this drum set and I was very impressed. I’m a musician and rarely play Guitar hero type games, but the set was really easy to hook up with minimal assembly. It’s also quite durable and should give the user many hours of enjoyments. If your looking to add a drum set to your game, this set is worth looking into. This set will work with Playstation 3 and 2, but it would be wise to make sure this will work with older games for Playstation 2.

This drum controller looks pretty sweet from the photos and descriptions, but it’s not the end all be all. Setting it up was a little confusing as the instructions aren’t that detailed. It’s a little heavy, so it’s not the easiest thing to move around. Plus, storing the thing isn’t the easiest thing either because it’s a bit bigger than some of the other drum kits by Harmonics. Also, trying to fold the thing down takes a while because you have to unscrew everything all the way to get the pads and cymbals to go all the way down.
Hitting the pads and cymbals works well as it’s pretty responsive. Everything’s adjustable (not easily though). It looks nicer than some of the cheaper drum kits for Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but I don’t know if I’d recommend spending the extra bucks for this.

My father is a professional drummer. Has been since the ’60’s. I thought when I got this kit from Logitech that I could play it, ( I have no formal training). The first game I tried out was Playstation 3 The Beatles: Rock Band – Software Only. The back beats and other tracks were just too difficult to do. That being said, this product from a quality standpoint is excellent.
It is very easy to set up and connect to Rock Band games. I used a piano stool to sit on. It is comfortable and feels similar to my father’s electric drum set. The hits respond to the slightest tap and the frame is strong enough so that it wont move during the crazy drum solos. The foot pedal is solid feeling and responsive. I have played around a little with the drum set that comes with rock band. This one is hands down better quality and doesn’t sound so plastic while playing it.
If you are serious about playing drums in these games and have moved past the included drum set you cannot do better than this Logitech drum kit.
Thanks for reading my review.

First off, I will say my 5 star rating is on the quality of the item, not it’s price, packaging or shipping time. Yes I do feel these aspects are an important part of the buying experience, but they could change at any point and time. As of it’s release, the price is a little steep, but it is a quality piece of equipment, made to last for years to come. The shipping was fast and flawless.
This Logitech wireless gaming controller is awesome for those with PS2/PS3’s. It works flawlessly and is said that it will reach up to 30 feet. I haven’t needed to test it out that far (my living room is not that big), but I have moved it around to different locations to see if it would still work just as well, and it has. I would say the farthest I have tested it would be about 15 feet away, and it worked as well as it did 5 feet away. The wireless feature is a huge plus for us since we have several dogs in the house who love to run in front of the TV over and over and get wrapped up in any controller cords that might be hanging down. We have already lost one gaming system to dogs getting wrapped up in a controller and pulling the whole system onto the floor.
One of the best features is the good adjustability of both the drums and cymbals. In our home, we have a variety of different aged video game players, ranging from 8 years old to 30 years old. This is an invaluable feature since kids aren’t the same size as adults. Because this unit lets you adjust all the positions, it allows you to bring them in closer or farther away. This makes for a much more enjoyable sitting position for each person who plays. No one has to reach way out and no one feels like they are cramped into a small spot. Every drum and cymbal can be placed wherever you like, so that it is set up to just your perfect position.
I would not say this unit is completely silent. You can hear someone playing it from another room. If you play the games on the expert levels, you can definitely hear the sound of the drum sticks thumping. But for us this was not an issue, as we have the volume of the TV up loud as well and the music drowns out any sounds of the controller.
The stainless steel kick pedal has a very sturdy feel, which is good when you have everyone stepping on it for hours a day. It has lasted very well and worked perfectly. However, unless you have the TV volume up plenty loud as your playing the game, the pedal can be a bit noisy. It may not be something that those who are playing the game will notice or be bothered by, but if you are in the room watching, it can get a bit annoying after a while.
This set uses two AA batteries and they last a good long while. We haven’t ran them dead yet. I would recommend using rechargeable ones though, as it will cut down on the long term cost.
Another benefit is how it folds up to be put away. A great aspect as there’s not always room to have a large drum set siting out in the middle of the living room 24 hours a day. True, it’s not exactly as simple as putting away a folding chair. But you have to remember, this is a sturdy, well made unit. If it folded and collapsed too easily, it would not hold up well during game play.
Over all I would say this is a very high quality item that is a a must have for those Guitar Hero addicts out there!
