They are supposed to fit inside the silver ring so you...

I am in the same situation. RB1 drums died, and looking to see if RB2 drums are worth it?
I have heard there is great crosstalk between the drum pads. Specifically the yellow and blue pads.
I hope...

Does this site have a place to sell equipment?
I want to sell the ION drum brain for ps3 and the Alesis hi hat controller.

Most forums have a place for this, but didnt find one on rockband.com

I have a few items for sale.
Ion Drum Brain PS3- New
Alesis Hi hat controller- New

ok, thanks, i was looking at a roland-7 pedal online for 50 bucks...
but i guess that wont work either.
I guess we have to go the safe route and stick with yamaha.
I just looked up the pedal we...

the Ion hi hat controller looks exactly like the Alesis DM5pro hi hat controller. I wonder if that one would work? the next price range is like 70+.
I was very mislead thinking this Ion hihat...

Well, i was hoping this thread would provide a solution. I just bought the Dtxplorer too and spent about an hour trying to figure out the damn HH controller problem. It doesnt register at all.. So...

Not really a functional picture of your setup. First off, the highhat pedal is on the wrong side of the kit and you have a kicktrigger which you cant use (yet). Sure you have some cool stuff, like...

Buy a gibralter practice pad or similar, then adjust the beater position on the omega to hit the pad. Then rotate the beater so that you use the felt side of it to hit the pad. It sounds really good...

Try going to onlinedrummer.com
They have "beat sheets" as well as video tutorials on several different lesson plans. They offer beginning tutorials all the way up to advanced lessons.

I bought the 10 pintech cymbol everyone is talking about and i do like it alot. However, the cymbol is slowing rotating when i play over a 3-5 minute time period. I followed davids instructions,...

Im torn between which module to get for my Ion. The DM5 has 12 inputs which is nice for expandability, but doesnt have an AUX-in to plug in Ipod, etc. Also, David mentioned the Yamaha Xplorer which...

I bought the Ion drum rocker to play with Rockband on PS3, but I don’t like the overall experience in game mode. (I am an expert drummer with my regular kit and have over 60 gold stars, so I...

What yamaha brain did you get for your ion? Do you get any double hits with it? i mostly play in freestyle mode now that i got the ion and want to move beyond rockband as a learning tool.

I am in the same boat as the OP. I ended up buying the ION and am fairly happy. I basically stopped playing rockband and just use the freestyle mode to practice. However, i did notice a few things...

When playing my Ion in freestyle mode, i cannot play the hihat and the hi-tom at the same time. They are both yellow pads, so maybe that is why they both wont register at the same time. However, it...

Is velocity sensitivity coming back forsure? I have the ps3 and its not talked about as much as Xbox.

I got the ion after the patch, so i never was able to experiment with VS. However, i am getting all kinds of double hits that should not be happening. This is especially evident in freestyle mode. Is...

I already have the beater aligned for my gibralter kickpad im using. So all i need is the Yamaha KP-65. Excellent suggestion and im sure im not the only person who falls inline with this workaround....
