i took the plunge

[seaniscool]

i bought a drum set online today. anyone else buy one thanks to harmonix and their badass game?

[insertname155]

I would but I live in an apartment, people would really really dislike me, I think my guitar and bass especially are already pushing it.

I'm going to need some lessons soon. In addition, I think I'll move my 27" tv into my room so i can use Rock Back to play on real drums :) Then buy a 42" HDTV haha dam you Rock Band for being so expensive but so awesome!

Edit- whoooo its now in transit!! :D

Very nice!

I didn't do drums, but I have picked up Bass since playing rock band. I really like it, and often I get the urge mid-song to put down the RB Controller and go play bass. much fun it is.

[seaniscool]

yes i meant real instruments and that sounds like a good deal on the ebay one

[krammkracker]

Yea, I was playing some digital drums at BestBuy the other day... If I was a rich man with a spare 2 grand, I prolly would have bought the kit. (I'd need digi-drums since I live in an apartment) But since mastering the Rock Band drums I have been looking for a cheap digital drum set(though they won't be nearly as nice as the set at BestBuy, I still feel the need to play for real)

Let me give you a nickel's worth of free advice:

Don't ever...ever...EVER buy a real musical instrument at Best Buy.

Go to a real music store. Sam Ash, Guitar Center, etc.

If it wasn't for having to buy some stuff around my house and having a deal fall through for a drum set someone was selling used, I probably would have one by now. Alas, I'm not made completely of money, so, I'm going to have to delay it until the furniture and stuff is paid off (should be a couple of more months).
