I want it.
I want it.
I want it.
I'm most likely buying it tonight.

Does anyone else have this?
Anyone else think this is a good idea?
Or the contrary?

There's two sides to it. On one end, it seems like a good cheap electric drum set, as you can get a MIDI pad and plug it in. On the other end, so you actually know how to play drums, or how much to you play them on RB/GH?

at that price, I'd just buy an actual MIDI drum kit for a slightly higher price and go to the trouble to map its output to the console correctly (I know it's been done before.) Though if you were less tech savvy/couldn't find good directions as to how to go about that online AND really, really had the money to burn on it for the ****s and giggles I could see going for the drum kit you posted...

But, again, I'd just go ahead and spend a little more to get the real thing if I were gonna be spending that much money on a drum kit anyway.

Keep in mind, Dili... the Ion kit IS a real drum kit. All you need is to buy a MIDI module to get it to work like one.

I'm aware of this.
I'm going to remain mute on this issue before my pretentious elitist pro-audio side gets the better of me XD

xD Never said it was a good alternative, but it is one.

The price is pretty expensive. $240.44

Overall I'm not really interested on it especially cause it's not drum that music band use. :P

They were ordered, and are due by next Friday....such a long wait :( hopefully they come sooner somehow.

I really need this kit. I beat Fury of the Storm on hard, and Bat Country on Expert, but I wanna up both those songs, and once I get the new kit, my HOPE would be I can.
We'll find out.
The next step is a Rocker U or whatever double bass coupler for Double Pass Pedals.
But that's crazy talk right now

I got the kit!
I love it so far!
I might get some pics tomorrow...dunno.
But it was defiantly worth the money, it's so heavy duty.

The bass pedal is different. I'll have to get used to it.
