I'm still in two minds about this game. I've tried to cancel my pre-order only to be told it's been picked and packed so they can't do it.
I don't know whether to
A: accept it, and hope i get good instruments
B: Leave it sealed and exchange it at a retail store for the guitar/game bundle and get credit for the RB2 drums when they come out
C: Refuse to accept the delivery and get a refund to buy a GHWT/RB2 mix of my own choosing
My problem is this. I love Rock Band (even though i don't own it myself) and the GHWT kit isn't going to cut when playing RB/RB2 because there are only 3 main drums. Like wise, the RB drum kit doesn't cut it on GHWT because all it does is merge the orange and blue tracks, meaning songs like Everlong on expert are backwards. What I mean by that, is that you'd normally lead with your right, and each snare hit would be your right hand hitting it. That's no problem on the GH kit as the cymbal is above the snare, but on the RB kit you're playing 16th notes on the yellow, and snares on the red with your left.
Why can't someone make a convertible kit where you can move the pads around (and not be massive like the ION drum rocker)?

Yeah I understand that dilemma. I cancelled my full kit GHWT and for now have just gone with the guitar and game. I know it wont quite be right playing it on my rock band drum kit but I really do not want another kit. I prefer the guitar anyway.
Really what i wished I'd done is just buy the solus of GHWT and wait til december to see how the new fender compares to the new les paul.

Getting this (Well Guitar Bundle) For £52 on Friday... However I am still unsure if its gonna be worth it, love the first 3 on the PS2, but would be getting this for the 360 now I have one.... just a big lump to spend on a game...

Just trying to get my head round this:
GHWT drums are red/blue/green with yellow/orange for cymbals
Everlong is 16ths on the hi-hat (yellow) with snare hits I'd assume would be on the red pad? On the GHWT drums that would be backwards?
Or do you mean when you plug the RB kits into GHWT it charts it wrong?
(I'm probably missing something here though....)
Oh mai lawwwd 
I ONLY just remembered that this is on release THIS WEEK
Now... where to preorder for fastest riffing/drumnation...
Two quick questions before preordering:
1. I have GH2 360 guitar - this works in GH3 and RB1 - will it work with GHWT?
2. I have RB1 Drum set - will it work with GHWT?
Thank you muchly
(Ooo just used muchly twice in one night... I've hit my quota...)

Yes and yes
I think whenever I've seen any gameplay footage of world tour, the colours are all mixed up, I think orange is somewhere in the middle - I don't know if that helps or not?
That's going to be SO confusing switching between rockband and world tour! Does anyone know if the world tour drums will work with rockband 1? I have the solus but haven't done any drumming on the game!
@ joker - it just removes one of the colours from the board, That's good of them to do that really, cos they didn't have to!

That's right. It doesn't switch the hi-hat from yellow to red when you plug the RB kit in. The Hi-hats remain on yellow, with red for snare.
So, to summarise:
Songs like Orange Crush, Run to the Hills, Rio (all on expert drums only) where Rock Band moves the hi-hats onto the red pad, don't alter on GH:WT.
Hi-hats are always yellow, snares always red. Of course that's fine when you use the GH:WT kit because of the cymbal position, but you need to re-learn and play as if you were left handed (or right handed if you usually play left handed) if you want to use your RB/RB2 kit.
To finish, a nice link to Youtube to illustrate:
