Thank you for responding! I have a real acoustic kit, maybe I'll grab some piezo sensors and mod it up :)

Is there no way to use my existing Ion pads + the adapter + some piece of hardware to...

Ion is out, RockBandParts.com has some stock left (when I made this post I was under the impression they were out) There's one ebay listing from Hong Kong ($100 + weeks in shipping).

Are there...

For the second time in a couple of years, it looks like my module is misbehaving. Even if it's only plugged in to the PS3, not touching anything and with no pads/cymbals plugged in, it still randomly...

Has there been an official response regarding AIM and any planned changes?

Not all my friends bought RB3, and since we gather for parties once every month or two, I don't think most will put up...

I love the sound, the rebound, all of it, but it seems like the sensitivity on the snare goes faster than on the other pads. Is my only option something like a PDX-8? I was able to mod my cymbals...

I'm no engineer, I'm just an idiot who wants better sensitivity out of his ION cymbals (yes, I've tried Pintechs).

Has anyone tried adding additional piezos and wiring them together? Is that a...

As long as I have the option - I don't want to have to hold a controller AND the microphone..

Yeah I don't think sweaty drumming mixes with nerd nudity.

Wow, that site is very helpful. I used to manually compile these from a scorehero spreadsheet...

I like to hold Rock Band parties from time to time - people get together, eat greasy food, drink, have a merry old time.

But I'm wondering if anyone has an idea out there on how to mix it up with...

Wow, some incredibly detailed posts here.

Honestly, I've never been a big Beatles fan. I am moreso after this game, but not so much that I have an opinion on George/John.

Gretsch seems to be winning, but it also seems like I can't lose!

Which should I get? So torn! No, both is not an option :)

Very impressive! But a bit beyond my means I think :)

Thanks guys, it looks like stock RB mic is pretty much the best / only option here.

Fairly simple request - I want a second (and eventually, probably, third) microphone for RB2 / Beatles. Currently I just have the RB1 launch mic, which has been fine thus far.

Is there one that...

I personally did not like the Pintech 14", it was too big and wobbly for me.

But definitely get a new pedal and a bass pedal practice pad for it to hit. Does wonders for the experience.

That's what I tried as well and it seems fine. He'd also mentioned the cymbal sleeve but perhaps I misread.

Davidshek: Your original drowning sun images are, sadly, unavailable after all this time. Could you provide a short description / pic of attaching the pintech to the original Ion cymbal arm using...

Oh no, they're pretty much equal!
