I know this video is old but hopefully you bought the MIDI Pro adapter and connected this to a real drum brain and gave each pad a unique voicing.. That's what I'm about to do with a Alesis DM5 :)
@mr0purple0hero this is cheaper and more kick but than any midi drum set on the market and it can be used in pro play on rb3 i wish i had the cash to afford even one of those ion bad boys.....
right here's my proposition, if you give me one of those ION kits, i'll give you a camel, 1 ENTIRE CAMEL!!!!, complete with humps and 4 legs, it's a good deal... please?
@IGetSikWitIt Actually you need to realize that it's entertainment. This is like going up to someone with a nice car saying. "hey... you know you can get something that does the same thing for less money. JUST LETTING U KNOW". But hey if you wanna try to be a dick keep on chugging along doucher.
Sorry, it's cool and everything, but it just looks like a bit too complicated considering you don't have the ability to play it by itself as a drum set. you could get more than one module to get all the pads to work but that'll easily cost way more than it should cost in the first place.
@pajamaloaf Because with a trigger IO or drum module you could use it as an electronic drum set? Lots of people use the cheap ION pads to build E-drum sets for recording.
could you please explain to me how you did this, what you used, is it a modole brain you used, i have 2 ion sets and would like to know how you did that, i play rockband, so can i play rockband , and then change it to electronic set,
@bubbletaps I used the xbox 360 ION brain and used mono splitters to from each pad to the brain. I made the rack out off the 2 ION racks. ( Takes some thinking of how you want it setup.)
DUMBASSES, YOU CAN CONVERT THESE TO REAL ELECTRONIC DRUMS BY USING A DRUM TRIGGER MODULE......STOP TAKING SHIT JUST CAUSE YOUR JEALOUS OF HIS SET UP....NICE MAN....LOOKS SICK
why is this necisary for a game just go to wal mart and get one for 100 bucks that will work the same as this one but whatever its your lonly life and ur games
Actually, I find this pretty cool! If you hooked up an Alesis drum module you could have a real e-drum giant! The only problem i see is that i think this would make the game 10 times more complex, but more like a large drum kit such as Neil Peart's or Mike Portnoy. 9.5/10 dude!
it probably works cause every thing is hooked up so you could play it but why the hell would you make something like that. i dont even think theres a reason for the symbols in the first place.
whys everyone bashin the mod its no different than modding any other game device. plus i think its cool. wouldve been better to see it actually working tho
You know, if he bought the pro upgrade (I don't know why he hasn't), he could use that as a real electronic kit, right? Which would be pretty fucking awesome. O.O
WOW man awesome job.... and for people that say this is too much if u think about it its really not....i would LOVE to have this honestly it gets kinda boring with only 4 pads i can only imagine how fun it would be to have all those pads and cymbals to play with :P
The only reason he has this is to feel cool while he's playing. There's absolutely NO reason to have a 15 piece kit for a game that only has 5 buttons to hit. 4 toms and a bass. That is 10 too many he has there. All of those extra pads are completely pointless unless he has the brain for the real electronic kit aspect of it.
There are 2 different brains, the one that lets you use it for rock band (the one he has) and the brain that lets you play it as a real kit (the extra $300 one that he doesn't have)
When you play with this kit, do you have problems with sound depending where you hit the pads? I have a problem where when I trigger the pads on the edge, it's normal, but when I trigger the pads in the middle, its a very very low sound. I am using a terrible module (OSP DD-502).
If you mean WHY is that the best way, it's because you can take advantage of all your brains sensitivity and cross-talk adjustments, while also assigning a unique voice to each pad (assuming your brain has that many inputs).
If you mean WHAT is the best way to hook it to a computer, just buy a MIDI-USB cable and use whatever software you feel like. If you meant to hook up to Rock Band, I can direct you to a guy that sells rack mount GH:WT MIDI boxes for use with the 360
2 things are left before you can call this the ultimate ION kit:
1. You need a KD-8/Kickbox with a double bass setup. The feel is much better than the ION pedal, and it looks better as a complete package.
2. You need to get a drum brain and a MIDI interface so you can have real drum sounds coming out of all those cymbals. Otherwise, why have so many duplicates?
Awesome setup though! I have a Roland TD-4 and GH:WT Midi interface box and it works great.

MaggotSoldier666 2 years ago
it's wearth it. that only cost's about.. $900, and they sound great..
Bradaskyus 2 years ago
No, he could have bought a VERY nice Roland electronic drum kit for $900, and just modded it a little to make it play Rock Band.
MaggotSoldier666 2 years ago
then it'd loose it's warranty, plus - he would'nt have a rockband kit apart from the original, to play with. so, it's pointless..
Bradaskyus 2 years ago 2
The only reason he has this is to feel cool while he's playing. There's absolutely NO reason to have a 15 piece kit for a game that only has 5 buttons to hit. 4 toms and a bass.
