Query for Rock Band Drums Compatability

GreenMint · 9 Jan 2010 at 23:41

Hey guys, just looking at buying what I think are official EA Rock band drums, just wanting to check how they do with Guitar Hero games too? I've got a lot of the games (Rock Band 1 & 2, Guitar Hero 3, World Tour, Aerosmith, Metallica, and GH 5) and have always had just the guitars and standalone games, wasn't sure how these would do on GH games due to the different pad colours etc..?

The drums I'm looking at (£20 on a site) are the following:

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Certainly used those drums on the GH games at a friends before

.

Though he did comment on how the GH drums were the better set.

Ah fair do's, will probably give them a try, for £20 it'd be rude no to, specially as the cheapest I can find GH drums is about £70

Yeah go for them - the GH drums are better (imo too) but they break easily and are bloody expensive.

The rockband drums will work with any GH game (providing it has drums in it

)

Can someone explain how these work with Guitar Hero when they only have 4 pads, yet the GH ones have 5 (3drums 2 cymbals) :confused:

GH scales back to a 5 hit drum track when RB drums are used (4 pads + pedal) as opposed to a 6 hit track when GH drums are used (3 pads + 2 cymbals + pedal).
