View Full Version : Drumset Mapping Request

Hello,
First of all, I love Rock Band, thanks for making it such a great game!
The second thing is, would it be possible to add a feature to remap the drums or at least a separate configuration for drummers that play in the "Open" style? Currently the closest I can get to that is switching to Lefty mode, but that moves the toms over to the left of where the hi-hat is, and puts the pedal in an awkward position since you have to twist your body to reach it if you're playing the pedal with your right foot. It would be perfect if the hi-hat was the Red pad on the leftmost side of the set (and the snare was the Yellow pad).
Sorry if there was a post about this already, I couldn't find it in search.
Keep up the great work!

You can move the pedal laterally however you want so I'm not sure how much of an issue it is. But yeah - I was actually curious how the Lefty Mode worked.

The Lefty mode pretty much makes the Blue (3rd from the left) pad the hi-hat, and the Green (farthest right) pad the snare, so if I put the pedal at the right most along the metal bar, it's still underneath the Blue pad. When I try to play the pedal with my right foot, my whole body is twisted. Ideally my body would be centered to the snare drum, which means that the pedal would have to be detached from the set, which would be ok if it didn't shift. This still leaves the problem of all the toms being on the left side of the hi hat while playing in Lefty mode though, which is also quite unnatural. This is why I would LOVE to be able to remap the drum pads :)

I have long legs, and I can't use the pedal sitting on the set at all.. I put it off to my right, and I plugged in a phono extension cord.
