The Guitar Hero 2 Xplorer, the Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul and the Guitar Hero World Tour guitar work with Rock Band: AC/DC Live (and all versions of Guitar Hero). Secondly, a downward mounted hammer must make contact with a sensor built into the base of the pedal for a kick to be detected by the game.

I loaded up Sennheiser's DrumMic'a and suddenly this toy-looking little thing sounds like a real drum kit.Expandability - I would like to be able to swap out my own custom trigger pads/cymbals/ hi-hat pedals, so it would be nice if I found a kit that has a brain with standard 1/4 in connections that would accept input from additional triggers.

Perhaps reviving an old thread here, but I'm using a TD-6 which I'm sending to my Mac and using Addictive Drums 2. When I first finished the assemblies in the previous step I placed the piezos in the drum head(s) under pressure. No, they are actually pretty different looking, and I hear that they fixed some of the issues with the World Tour set, but I'm hoping someone has hands on experience with the two.Overall I would recommend these drums, as they are not as prone to overhits and dropped hits as the older drums are.

Both the bass drum note, and drum note have to be played, although one can be hit without the other.

It would be great if more people could see this as a cheaper alternative, and maybe that would lead to some more competitive pricing for the real-deal Roland or Alesis kits. What I would like to have is more than 6 kit pieces and for that I would need to hook the kit up to something else than the standard PS2/3 "drum brain" that came with it. But physical imperfections aside, the core aspects of the Guitar Hero kit's design and the design of its competitors ultimately come down to a matter of preference, which is almost always exclusively aligned one way or another. I mounted another bit of foamcoare to the apex of the spring, added a spot of tape to prevent shorts across the spring, and mounted the assembly below the piezo element.

When I made my wireless MIDI translation patch in Max/MSP for the Rockband Keyboard, the input was a binary code that I had to translate to MIDI note on/off messages. I had an old set of Wii Guitar Hero drums hanging around and remembered that the have a MIDI OUT port on them. I didn't want a false-positive type of hit to register, however, a gentle accidental contact should be ignored. That should be easy enough to check as I have a bunch of switches lying around, both momentary and latching.I decided rather than risk removing it and having to rework the mounting location or the element itself I would simply press it into place.
