Dunno if this video has been posted, but how difficult do you guys think it is to do all the wiring for this?

I know that there have been a few people on here that have done this. They claim that it was easy. I guess that all depends on your tech savvy! ;)

Well the wiring would be relatively easy, but you would definitely void your warranty splicing into the controller wires.

That's awesome. I'd like to see a song like "Run to the Hills" or "Blinded by Fear" on that set.

It's cool and all, but man, as if the fake drums were not loud enough.

I especially love how the drum noise drowns out the game entirely.

u think that's loud? I'd prolly just buy mouse pads and then use those as silencers but man i would hate to stand next to those cymbals and play guitar.

All cool and fancy, but where are his drumstick holders huh?
Bet he's missing those - had to put them down on the floor or a table. He should have added a holder!

All kidding aside, that's awesome. Takes the mystery out of 'hmm, did I miss the note or did the kit miss the note' I'd bet.

And Davidshek, is that your daughter playing those drums in the other video? :)

haha nope, I have no kids!

But I have started giving my next-door neighbor's 10-year-old daughter drum lessons now. She worked her way up to Expert on drums in like 2 weeks, so her parents begged me to give her some lessons and see if this natural ability will transfer over. :)

If I can find a video camera somewhere, I'll tape her playing sometime soon.

That is pretty sweet...but I want to see the sensors successfully/accurately work on some of the harder songs on Expert Drums. If they work flawlessly on a harder song...damn, that would be awesome.

I loved how when this game first came out, so many people claimed it was too hard to play the kick drum. I tried to tell them that most children learn it really fast but they all said no.
