ill buy the drums if they add a hi-hat pedal, cant drum with 1 pedal.

I don't know what song that is, but all I could think of was that insanely obnoxious DS Guitar Hero commercial.

@ slee They sell the bass guitar controller now. It has the split strum bar too.

I think I hang around this site too much, at the beginning when he presses the power button I half expected it to red ring.

@Nerfgun

Some of the shots are of the ion kit but some are the regular kit with cymbals (like at 0:24). There's actually a shit load of different versions of the instruments in there when you look closer but they are all compatible.

I think I've decided to get the new drums for RB2 instead of the GH4 ones. Now I just have to decide whether or not I'm going to get them with the cymbals or splurge on the ion kit (I really do want to learn how to play the real thing).

To answer a few things:

- They are releasing a bass guitar (Mad Catz). I don't know much about it, but I'm sure you can find a GameStop product page (they're already displaying it in in-store advertising, and some stores have received them already from what I understand).
- The song is "Let There Be Rock" by AC/DC which is in the game and a totally ridiculous song.
- The Ion Kit may be in the commercial, but there are shots of the regular drums with cymbals attached to it.
- Adding the cymbals will not add notes, no. But during freestyle fills they will (according to what I was told) act as cymbals where as the pads will all act as drum heads. In the actual game though, they will only double what the pads do (yellow high-hat, green crash or ride). I haven't used this stuff, so I'm only speculating based on what I was told by MTV and HMX PR.

I am still deciding if I am going to buy the new instruments or not.

yep, im spending 200ish dollars on more plastic instruments.
