Sorry to all the regular Forum users who may have already seen this question come up, but I cannot find the answer anywhere. Just want to get the answer from a firsthand user who has plugged the Guitar Hero drums in to use with Rock Band 2 - how do the controls synch, color to color? Seems like the yellow cymbal would be awkward to use.

Thanks for your help.

They dont.

RB2 recognizes it as a mic

im pretty sure yes, though i could be wrong.

in the rybg rolls , you'd have to go UP for yellow and DOWN for blue.

i don't think it is possible.

wait until hmx or activision make a patch.

likely, although i don't see it happening for a while. hmx has a bunch of patches to take care of, such as the velocity sensitivity slider thingamabobber.

GHWT drums on Xbox360 work perfectly in RB2

Just out of curiosity: do the lane colors match the colors of the pads/cymbals (ie: red lane is played on the red pad, yellow on the yellow cymbal, etc and orange is ignored) or does it work differently?

Orange is ignored...which is perfect for me, since my orange pad quit working 3 hours into the game. So I switched back to RB2 to see if it was worth keeping the kit around or taking the whole POS back to the store and getting a RB2 drum kit (not a huge fan of my RB1 kit).
