looks like they have all the bags for the instruments including guitar

and the Store is updated with bags, actual band gear, t-shirts, accessories, and some other goodies.

I think ill save the money and stick with a few large plastic walmart bags if i need to take it anywhere. Chances are i wont because all my people come over my place.:)

I do like the RB branded drum sticks, but I went and got a set of the Sluggo-recommended Zildjian sticks with the rubber core.

I can see them being beneficial given I will pound the drum to death for the first week.

That Elephant shirt is awesome

I was looking through the store yesterday. I thought it had been up for weeks but I just never knew, lol. Wouldbe made a thread about it yesterday if i knew it was new.

Some cool stuff in there. But yeah, no internation shipping which doesnt help me.

[bounchfx]

damn, theres tons of cool stuff (especially shirts), but 25 bucks is too high for my tastes.

well.. maybe one... (thanks, christmas!)

What are these drumsticks you speak of? Pics or it didn't happen! :D

Here are the sticks... Pretty sweet, I like the red ones a lot. Once I get some money up i'll probably buy some sticks, guitar skin, and a few shirts :p

Some nice stuff in there, but wow, the prices... $50 for the drum bag? I'd rather just get my drums beat up in transit and replace them for, what, $30 more down the road? Some of the guitar skins are nice, but they don't cover up enough of the surface of the guitar IMO.

I admit the drumsticks are pretty cool though (even cooler than the ones given out on the tour), although we're trying to look into sound-muffling options... Did whoever has the box of mousepads ever get a chance to test that theory? Unfortunately, we live in an apartment and can't always crank it to 11... Although come Christmas day, all bets are off.

Oh man this store is sweet! I totally want ALL of those t-shirts!

I think this one is my favorite for now:

These sticks have a rubber core designed to dampen the impact of repeated striking on your hand. Targeted for use on electronic kits and practice pads.


Based on my previous experiences, this could be a good thing. I remember my first night owning Guitar Hero... fret hand so sore after 6 hours that my first play of Freebird was actually painful.

Knowing myself, I will play through the setlist regardless of my comfort level. So I figured I would hedge my bets with a cheap set of sticks that might make me more comfortable.

That "Live the Life" section is so cool. You can just imagine people actually starting a career in music because of this game. It has been said before, and must be said again: This is so much more than just a game.

Harmonix, I love you.

[NotorietyH]

I'm serious considering getting that Fender FR50CE, have an okay electric and a basic enough acoustic, that guitar just looks soooo sweet. Going to pop into my regular guitar shop tomorrow to see if he can get me one for a good price.

A few years ago I got a pair of drum sticks from Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), among random other stuff, at the end of a concert. He wrapped Easton sports tape on the sticks, presumably for grip purposes. Maybe I should pull those out and use whenever playing Learn To Fly, and have this insane out of body experience.

[Atsumi]

I actually really want that first shirt in the girls section.

AND the black heart necklace.

But MAN! Those clothes are expensive!

Thank you. Nice information you provided too lol. :)

The funny thing is that the website recommended I buy them at a drum store 2 blocks from where I grew up. The store had been there nearly 20 years and I had not once ever noticed it was even there. :eek:

When I played in HS, that's what I used to do too. I think a bunch of people do that for the grip.

Maybe if I do that, a music store will appear near me too.

[KaoAtlas]

I should see if they recommend any stores near me.
