In order to help alleviate this, newer DLC for Rock Band now introduces sparse use of the blue and orange buttons on Easy and Medium. I agree that adding the orange was probably the hardest part of moving from Medium to Hard, and I think this is a good step in lowering the learning curve. I know this won't help you for GH, but maybe they will add the same thing too (not trying to start a flame war).

I like the stock RB drums, but the RB2 drums are better (not sure on availability in Australia, as I've heard there are distribution issues outside of America). As for "premium" drum kits, the ION kit is supposed to be really nice. Logitech also makes a "premium" GH drum kit, but I haven't seen many reviews of that one.

I'll join the masses on recommending GH5. Besides Band Hero (And upcoming WoR), it's the only game in the series thus far that allows the free instrument combinations; a lot of people feel like having to play Bass is getting the shaft; we still have a few devoted bass players, but the vast majority prefers the gool ol' guitar.
-It's got a tier system so you know where to start out. Yes, it's not perfect, but you'll quickly learn which ones are a bit out of place.
-It's got a Career mode which you can team up with others to play on. The instrument combinations really help with finding players.
-A varied setlist. You may not like everything, but you sound like you're open to nearly any type of music, which helps. It's got songs that nearly everyone has heard before like Play That Funky Music and Song 2, but also obscure ones that can help expand your personal library.
-Supports all instruments, so if you have a mic or a drum set, they'll be more useful than if you got GH1-3.
-Scorehero's a growing community, and GH5 is pretty much the latest release. Means that there are detailed FC breakdowns and help sections all over this place.
-Overall a well-done game, in my opinion. It's got easy songs and it's got doozies. If you're just starting out, it'd take a REALLY long time to get good enough to 100% stuff like Scatterbrain and 21st Century Schizoid Man.

(Plus ^ that sentimental boner that DanSoup commented on). GH2 is a good game, but if you have a next gen system you need an up to date game. |

Yeah, I ended up going for GH5 & GH3. I'll pick up RB1/2 when I buy a drum kit, probably the ION ones.
Despite not knowing the majority of artists on GH5, I actually like most of the tracks. The career mode challenges are fun, although I'm bummed that I can only do the guitar/bass ones at the moment.

I probably should have actually read through the entire thread first :/

Yeah, you will need a copy of GH2. I'd say get Rock Band and browse the DLC to find exactly what you want.. But GH2 will run you like $7 used, and it's too good of a game to pass up for that price..
