About Me


Yo East Coast, where you at?

Hello, fellow D-toiders, my name is Andrew and I reside in New York City. It has been such an amazing experience being a part of this wonderful community. From my activities as a host of the Friday Night Fight events to becoming one of the community members responsible for handling the Destructoid NY group, coordinating East Coast meetups to helping the PAX meetup group, I have loved every minute of my time spent with this community.

Please hang out with other Dtoid members whether it would on the main site or chatting to your local Dtoid group. It can be life changing, trust me on that.

The Special Edition Rock Band 2 Drums have a name and a price
Andrew Benton | 6:07 PM on 07.11.2008 38 comments



Say hello to the Ion Drum Rocker. When you click the link you are taken to the site and you will see a quick video of the drum kit in action. All that is left to say is DO WANT!

But they come at a high price, $299.99, to be exact. Oh well, it looks like it's time to sell my body to science.

Thanks to Johnny Drama for the tip. That is right, I am getting tips now.

"Compatible with RockBand 1 & 2. 360 Version"

Gee that doesn't sound very promising =/

Whoa nice, check out the pedal info

"we're even building an accessory pedal to allow for double-pedal setups."

"The Xbox 360 version of Drum Rocker will be available first, in mid-September. We're also working hard on Playstation and Wii versions, which we expect to ship later in the year. Check back soon to pre order the Playstation or Wii Drum Rocker."

Not to Worry. Gantz.

Yeah uh I thought for a millisecond that they would at least be at an affordable price. Oh well.

Damn man, that's pretty high, but if it hits Europe it'll be even higher!

@Power-Glove
Oh cool i missed that, thanks.

@MrSadistic
Well its basically this minus the drum brain (which are around 300 usually)

Though yes, that is still fairly pricey.

I was just talking to a friend about these today. He said He wouldn't pay more than 300 for them, if they were 350 or more He'd just say fuck it, lol.

So true :-(

Looks like I'll be sticking with the normal drums with the cymbal attachments on

Oh man. I don't know why I thought they would be affordable either. I want it.

God damn that's a nice kit, the thing that is killing me though is the fact that i imported my original copy of RB for the PS3, what with me living in Ireland and refusing to wait the amount of time it took Harmonix to sort the whole European launch fuckup.

Im thinking to get this imported would cost quite alot of Rockefeller's. The frame alone for it looks heavy/sturdy as hell.

I'd tap it. Also, will there be any COD4 tonight?

I will not be doing COD 4 tonight. I am probably going to hang out Zen Albatross, Nintendoll, and Tino and maybe few others tonight.

Well, Guitar Hero is fucked.

And that's way too expensive, no way am I buying that.

God damn those are expensive. There is no way I am buying them at the price as much as I love the design.

That is crazy cool looking but damn pricey!

Keep in mind though that the price is US so after the damn importing crap it will be like $350+ CDN. I would rather spend the extra couple hundred and buy an actual electric drum kit.

Damn pricey, but I guess it's not bad considering that it can be used as an actual electronic drum kit. And believe me those things can get pretty fucking expensive.
EternalDeathSlayer's Avatar - Comment posted on 07/12/2008 19:46

It's too damn expensive. Most will just stick with the regular set. Good find though...

Considering that I've actually wanted to take up drums for a while now, and the fact that this can convert into a electronic drum kit...I'm interested.
