Finally.
I had GH3 with the guitar from last year, then got just the GH:WT game for christmas this year - trying to find some way of getting the drums has been aggravating to say the least. I assume the US ones will work in Euroland, so GUTTED they're going to lose out on an unfairly marked up european sale while I help the US economy. Pretty sure I won't be alone. Sorry Gordon. |

well, between me and a friend, we've had a 100% failure rate of 7 kits between us. i'm on my 4th, one just didn't work and three have had the same problem; the red pad after little use gets an air bubble between the plastic disk with the sensor and the red head. this causes vibrations making it uber sensitive. ive fixed it by taping the plastic sensor disk to the neoprene protector and reassembling it back together. watch you dont rip the wires out mind!

I realise the issues in shipping and stocking big units of a large peripheral, but it's still a huge pain that only the original RB drums are available in the UK.
Still torn between GHWT and Rock Band 2 drums, I suspect whichever hits the UK first will be the decider. Drumming RB2 with the GHWT drums sounds rather awkward though. |

The Drum Rocker is an amazing kit. I can't look at the GH one without sniggering a little anymore. Got a third cymbal for mine a couple of weeks ago as after getting used to two of them it felt off every time I heard a ride cymbal go while hitting a pad.
I did have a chance to try one out on Rock Band at a friend's place though. Took a bit of getting used to, as I ended up playing Go Your Own Way. That one uses yellow as both a tom and the hi-hat, so going for a cymbal for all of those hits was a little odd. Having said that, playing without cymbals now seems weird, but I think I'd miss the third tom more as pulling off drum rolls across the kit is awesome. |

at last......looked to shipping rb2 drums from the states , but the current exchange rate makes it un-economical.

brazzauk, you'll still need the GHWT drum kit so that you can use it's MIDI input to communicate with the game. But yeah, it's the way to go...

This is great news, been waiting for EA/Harmonix to bother with us Europeans and release the Rock Band 2 drums. Their loss.
