So it looks like the new drumset will be a wii exclusive for a while, while XBOX and PS3 Band Hero is being shipped with the old drumset. ewww

So, the removable control box now requires no screws? Awesome. Maybe they stuck a MIDI port on the back the control box instead of the kit for easy e-drum mounting?

Either way, these drums to look fantastic. Built in drum sensitivity kit is a nice touch, and the design of these pads is certainly something we haven't seen before. I will say this, I already love this kit for the lack of rims on the drum pads. Anyone who hosts GH/RB parties should agree with me.

I got the new drum set today for Xbox 360. It comes with the Band Hero bundle in the UK.

So far I've got no complaints at all with it. The pedal is much better (probably because it's held in position), the cymbals are very responsive (if still a little stiff) and the pads are very quiet. It's probably the quietest drum kit I've used. Putting it together was even easier than the WT kit. It also takes up a lot less space (even though the pads are the same size), which is cool.

The little detachable controller thing is pretty cool, if you know you're going to be going through the menus a lot you can detach it and hold it like a normal controller. It connects back in through a port on the back, and there's some clips to hold it in to place. One time it came loose during a song and the drum kit stopped working, but that was because I hadn't clipped it back in properly. Then it was all cool.
