Ok, so I got my RB2 drum set the day the game was released and overall I'm loving them. I can actually do rolls now, whereas before I just banged the drum as fast as i could to register as many hits as possible in the roll. Anyways, like most of the SL models, I'm experiencing cross talk between my blue and yellow pads. I've tried all the tricks. I've tightened the screws, I've tried relocating the sensor so it's not touching the walls around it, I've made sure that the pads are placed correctly, but nothing has completely gotten rid of the cross talk. It's not horrible cross talk, only happens on about 25% of the pad when you hit it decently hard, but it is hindering my scores. Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to fix this, or am I left with having to RMA it? And for those who've RMA'd their kits, about how much did you waste to ship the thing out?

yea i got my RMA drums today after returning 2 sets only to have to wait on EA's rma anyways... noticed some key improvements already... one the pipes fit more snug in the feet... they are actually a little larger to reduce vibration... the battery compartment is entirely different with spacers and actual rubber on the cover and not the foam type stuff so this is probably in response to the controller d/cing from the xbox after days of use jarring the batteries loose.... looks like they addressed most concerns before sending out rma's .... not really that they were ever out of em but i think they spent some time to get the sets right before sending them out... my old set was a 22808SL (inside battery on cover) and the new set with major improvements has no number on it so i uploaded some pictures for compairison http://www.duproductions.net/images/rb2drumsrma.jpg
