So i've had rock band 2 for about 4 weeks now, and i've already developed major bubbles forming in the yellow, red, and blue drum pads on my EL set with my green pad being completely fine. Taping just doesn't seem to cut it as it continues to pop up, causing me to have to retape it every few sessions.
I'm thinking of RMA'ing my drum pads(Does anyone know how long it usually takes for RMA`s to ship?), waiting for a new set and when i receive it, putting on Drumsoft MCU drum protectors over top to ensure that this will never happen again.
Here are the drum protecters: http://www.rockbanddrumsoft.com/
However i'm kinda confused between the difference between drum "skins" and drum "silencers". Do you replace the actual rock band 2 drum pad rubber with the new pad for drum skins? and silencers and protectors are merely placed on top of the existing rubber?
If this is so, i was wondering what you guys would think about using the official rock band 2 drum skins from this site:
http://www.rockbandstore.com/detail.php?p=65465&v=rbs2_gear_xbox-360_drum while just putting the Drumsoft protectors over top of them.
This overall sucks hugely with the whole RMA process and having to spend so much more money just to fix a set that should be great right out of the box.
Any advice or info would be much appreciated!
P.S. My pedal broke too in my transition to expert, but instead of RMAing the pedal, i was thinking of buying the Destroyer Pedal which ive heard never breaks and is great for harder songs.
Any thoughts!
