Guitar Hero/Rock Band Drums

Teny · 10-11-2009, 10:19 PM

I want to get drums for Guitar Hero (Smash Hits, World Tour, 5) and Rock Band (2, Beatles). But I have been hearing that both of them are having problems. Should I even bother getting them? It seems like it's going to cost me about $100 just for the drums alone. Right now, I only have an GH3 guitar. If I should get one, which one do you guys recommend?
I would wait for Band Hero drums, but from the looks of it, the drums won't be sold separately till like next year.
Thanks.

The thing is that Rock Band drums won't work with any Guitar Hero games, so you have a pretty big problem right there, that is of course unless you have cash to burn... So I can't really recommend anything at this point.

So then the Rock Band drums would be the best option to go if not for the incompatibility of GH games, and the GH drums are just not worth it?
But if I were to just play Rock Band, then the rock band drums would be the good choice right?

I would personally use the Rock Band drums because they're more reliable...So yeah, you should get those.

May be a tad late, but the Guitar Hero 5 drums come out sometime in Nov when Band Hero comes out and they are a lot more reliable and manufactured better than the previous GH:WT drums. I would recommend getting GH5 guitar pack then buying the drums when they are released, or waiting for the drums to come out and get them all together.

I recently bought RB 2 drum kit only and can CONFIRM that it works with GH 5 - unfort it does not work with GH World Tour or GH Van Halen. Saving up $$ now to go out and get GH drum kit ... would be too easy if everything played together now wouldn't it.

@steviey21
why don't you try using RawkSD on RB2. You can import your GH5 and GHWT songs so you can play it on RB2. GH Van Halen is not supported yet though.

I picked up my GHWT drums last month for just 25$ (+ 25$ more for shipping to alaska :P) and i love them. They work with GHWT, GH Metallica, RB2 and GH5 perfectly fine.

If your just going to play Rock Band, pick up the RB drums and get the Good Woods Mod for them. Or when it comes out, the Ion Drum Rocker for the wii.
