Fun:
I bought this set because I wanted to play Guitar Hero World Tour (4) on PC. I had already bought the xBox 360 guitars for GH (the Xplorer model) and, playing (real) drums for 8 years now, I wanted to give it a shot.
Using Guitar Hero World Tour on Windows Seven Ultimate, I just had to plug the drums and everything was already set up : no additional drivers or software to use.. Great ! Looks like Seven is fully compatible...
In the Guitar Hero games, you have 5 colors + the kick (2 cymbals and 3 toms). On the Rock Band kit, you only have 4 toms, but the game is fully compatible with the RB drumset, and it automatically converts the 5 colors to 4. The only thing rough about it is that some of the breaks are then between two colors that are too far from each othern making the break impossible to play without missing a note... But I only saw this in 2 songs, so no big deal at all.
To sum up : great purchase ! I love it, and so do my friends ! The only thing I regret is that, for some of very tough songs in the game (from Tool, for example), it looks like the game designers didn't really properly listen to the songs, because their adaptation is kinda rubbish (I play them on real drums, but absolutely CAN'T play'em in GH, it's so wrong...!)
ps: just to clarify, this is the drumsset from Rock Band 1 (one), and the cymbals addons (I wanted to buy :/) that you can find are only compatible with the Rock Band 2 (two) drumset... Too bad !

Fun:
I've had these drums many times, they are fantastic. However, each one has failed in the same way; The pads break. 2 days after receiving these drums, the red pad stopped working, followed by the green pad. You had to hit them really hard for them to register.
A few fixes later, found on ScoreHero, and my pads are back to normal. They are very easy fixes too, most only going as far as taking the top of the pad off, which doesn't void your warrenty. I would give these a 5 star, but as they break quite easily, I'm only giving them a four. Do yourself a favour though, if you can, and buy a Rock Band 2 set (Import only, or The Beatles Rock Band Premium Edtion, as that comes with a reskinned Rock Band 2 set), as the quality of these are told to be better.

Fun:
Well, I owned this kit for a year. I bought it brand new with everything else for the game and as it had all the other intruments in the "band in a box" format, I thought it would be the only purchase of instruments i'd ever have to make for my games console. To begin with, it was a precise and brilliant piece of kit. But as I played through the months, more intense songs, faster songs and the like, I began to notice a distinct lack of precision in the Red pad. Eventually it completely stopped. I had to replace the piezo sensor in it to cut a long story short. After a few weeks the piece of plastic holding THAT in place broke, so I had to botch it again. Then the end of the kit's life came while I was playing Guitar Hero Metallica. Shortest Straw "breaks the red pad clean off the kit" A much stronger kit has since been released and I would suggest that over this kit. Save this one for when your kid wants to let off steam but don't try to become a Rock Hero with it.

Work really well and take quite a beating.
Still working even after some crazy drum solos. Get the updated ones if you can, but if you're looking for the basic ones for the older games like early Guitar Hero and Rock Band... Read more
