Isnt there a couple different kinds they have? My pair are light colored and lightwieght. My friends sticks are Browner than mine, more of a sealed feeling, and much heavier. I know they are the ones thatt came in his full band set since they have the GH design on them.

The GHWT drumsticks are NOT real drumsticks. The ones that came with my kit were like balsa wood. First thing I did was throw them in the trash...

they look pretty real to me...and they dont feel like balsa, at least not the ones i got. nice and hard.
whats the difference between those and real drum sticks?

I still use my sticks that came with the game. My problem with a star power activation button on the sticks is that I hold mine backward so it would probably end being on the wrong end for me.

i think next time around they should make another bass pedal for activation.
But it gets annoying sometimes.But I learned how to get used to it.

man i like the activation system, but the problem is that my cymbals are crap. i had to switch them because if you hit the yellow one on the right side it double hits every time even when i take the sensitivity down to 0. the only problem is that when you hit it on the left side, it only registers like 80% of the hits. what i ended up doing was cranking the orange up to 2 (which is really the yellow) and dropping the yellow (orange) to 0 because it double hits if i take it over 5. plus the orange and blue crosstalk even when i drop their sensitivities down reel low which causes me to randomly activate or break combo when i hit blue yellow notes. but still, alot of times when i go to activate, ill hit orange and itll double hit or it wont register and i blow my combo. i wish they didn't make such an unreliable kit, because if it worked right it would be awsome. i reely like how it is set up.

i use vic firth sticks. i have nylon ones, but i definatly prefer the wood tip ones. they are much lighter than the GH sticks.

by the way, since they are already putting in a double bass option for the next installment, are you suggesting that they release a third pedal for starpower? that would make activating during a double bass section pretty tricky...

They should make a Star Power cymbal. It can have a light blue ring like the SP color where around the top. Hit it to activate SP, and it will automatically hit notes that were there so you don't lose your streak.

ohh noes! typing error, someone call the police!!
