No offense but it's really hard to say based off the video. You are kinda hitting the edges of the pads an awful lot which could be why it's not reading.
ok, some else noticed what seems to be causing the screwup with the pads, it appears that when the blue and red pads are hit the yellow pad is slightly registering a hit as well, like if the vibration is causing the issue.
Still though, it really annoys me that the kit is not functioning properly. Just like my RB1 guitar
wait, where did you get a rockband 2 drum kit?
Vibration has been an issue, even with the newer drum kits. What you need to do is either get one of those ghetto sock mods (apparently the best, but I hate the look of them), some high-quality gum rubber drum pads, or fashion some support (wooden, most likely) across the underside of the pads to reduce vibration. Accuracy goes up, and whatever you pick, they'll probably be quieter and less likely to break.
A lot of those seem to be because you just hit it about a half second off. Rock Band is notorious for having an incredibly small hit window. It's pretty clear you're not that great of a drummer, and I feel like that's a pretty major part of it.
And yeah, you're hitting the edges, which was a problem in the first set, and will probably be the same in this. Hit the middle, it's differently colored for a reason.
Just got a copy of the game and the regular RB2 drums. Noticing the same problems with the yellow pad. Very sensitive and tends to trigger off of red or blue. Still under warranty, though.
The hardware on these things are nearly always bug-ridden in some way. Especially for launch hardware.
