Review on ๐ŸŽธ Rock Band 2 Drums for Playstation 2/Playstation 3 (Standalone) by Joe Glass

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Don't expect these kits to last long

A kit made mostly of plastic. If you're a more serious player who gambles frequently, you'll find yourself breaking them fairly quickly. Since most fittings are made of plastic, plastic breaks. For example, inside each drum plate is a small plastic mechanism that uses springs to hold the sensor in place. This piece of plastic keeps breaking, and if you hit the red pad and hear a rattling noise inside when you press it, that's probably the culprit. There are a few simple on-the-fly repairs you can make, but it's still frustrating that they break so easily. Also, sticky pads blow easily. Again, there are temporary fixes you can make, but once the glue starts to wear off and they start lifting, they'll never be 100% correct again and can be a little tiresome to play with. And third and last. , - barrel pedals. Probably only affects more serious players, but these things break with HIGH regularity. I've tried at least 10 pedals over the years because they wear out easily at the hinges and eventually break in half. It's just a bunch of plastic, so be prepared. All in all I would recommend serious players to buy an ION Drum Rocker instead because you don't want to end up with 10 broken RB drum kits like I did. Sit in a closet before you finally decide you need an ION kit. Normal players will probably be fine with one of these.
