Rock Band 2 Drums: More Details Emerge
An elite team of Grandmas are busy knitting drum silences for Rock Band 2
More details emerged on the new Rock Band 2 drums. While they are essentially the same drums as the first game’s, the new drums are reputed to have quieter drumpads that are velocity sensitive, a reinforced metal pedal (thank god), and clips for add on cymbals that could be purchased separately. It’s a bummer that the cymbals aren’t included with this set, but at least Guitar Hero World Tour doesn’t trump the Rock Band 2 drum set entirely.
But wait, that’s not all! Rock Band 2 will have another set of drums that’s called the Ion kit. The Ion kit will have three cymbals, adjustable pads, a metal frame, and the ability to use the kit as a fully functioning electronic drum kit, i.e. it’s not for just Rock Band.
If you crave more info on these drum kits, you can find all the deets in the latest issue of Games Informer or you can just go to this message board where some dude scanned the entire article and posted it. Isn’t that illegal or something?

Ion released the pics and info and stuff: http://www.drumrocker.com/products/index.php
You can pre-order them for $299.
I have no idea how I will do it, but I will be buying these (them being an actual electronic drum kit is basically what sold me though, no way in hell I could go with a purchase if they were just for a video game)

Wow, that’s crazy Paco. I hope you like them! I think they’d be cool to have, but I can’t ever afford anything like that or even justify the expense.
