This is a demonstration of the new Rock Band 2 drums. It shows how quiet they are, the sensitivity, and the way the components are built.

Check out my other reviews!

F.A.Q answered:
-Rock Band 1 and 2 drums work with both Rock Bands
-Cymbals DO NOT come with the Drums. They will be sold at a later date, 3-pack for $40 or individually for $20
-The cymbals DO NOT work with Rock Band 1 drums since they don't have the cymbal ports in the back.
-Bundle with instruments and game comes out October 19th for all systems.
-PS3 version of the game comes out October 19th also, Xbox 360 is out now.
-The Drums came out September 14th for the Xbox 360, but are fairly hard to find unless you pre-ordered them ahead of time. I got mine from Gamestop by pre-ordering.

-If you want to jam out on Xbox Live with me, my gamertag is "Cydrid"-

**The sound isn't working for the first 40 seconds, but it works after that. I show how the newer pads are made of a foam-like material with a sort of "gel" center piece (kind of like gel shoe inserts). There's a sync button and the headset port on the bottom, and it takes 3 AA batteries. The bass pedal is the same as the first set, but it has a metal plate screwed into the top, making it feel much more sturdy. I start to talk about how the frames are exactly the same except for the base poles, and then you're able to hear me.

As far as the other pads activating, many people stated this is a problem with Rock Band 1 detecting the hardware, and it shouldn't be a problem in Rock Band 2, and I'll update the info on that once I pick up a copy.
UPDATE:I tested this with Rock Band 2 and it still is having some crosstalk, but it takes more force to cause it to set off two pads at once.

Once again, if anyone wants any other videos on the drums, let me know and I might make one.

  • I'm a fan fo guitar ...

    I'm a fan fo guitar hero, because they really dumb down the guitar parts on rock band.. So I'd say GHWT.. That's just an oppinion.. Just look up song lists, and look into both of them a bit, and pick what you'd like the most

  • Why don't you ...

    Why don't you realize that a lot of drummers and guitarists play rock band and/or guitar hero so there is no reason to call names when you have no clue if this guy could smoke you on an acoustic set or not
