Xbox360 Logitech Guitar Hero Drums Review / Queens of The Stone Age "Avon" 5*

[xxAlexLoves182xx]

these drums arent bad you dumb shits :)

[toymasheenSH]

@xxAlexLoves182xx yup you're right I purposely don't play on them for absolutely no reason!

[toymasheenSH]

@iamchucky4life :3

[Shredin0id689]

Just get the IONs

[toymasheenSH]

@Shredin0id689 4 lane :P

[Geogogeogo1]

i wanna buy them, and i just want to know, if is that set that bad

[CityRuler1]

I got em they are pretty good.

[fusiondaryl]

dude have u bought the band hero drums yet and if so, is it better than the Logitech set???

[toymasheenSH]

@fusiondaryl 100% better the green and blue pads are so responsive.

[fusiondaryl]

@toymasheenSH alright so i guess i'll be gettin the WoR band kit instead of the Logitech kit. the cymbals and the kick pedal look like shit anyway, no wonder this thing is discontinued and sooo cheap now

[evilsnakes1]

@toymasheenSH

hi,

do you mean that the stock gh drum kit (the new one with brain in front) is better than this logitech?

[toymasheenSH]

@evilsnakes1 100%

[zerfus1]

DO NOT buy these drums. They are so so bad. I am going to return them

[toymasheenSH]

@zerfus1 Yup

[KoRnFlakes1408]

what's wrong with the World Tour kit? i find that one fine, no need trying to improve something that already works.

[toymasheenSH]

@KoRnFlakes1408 various crosstalk issues, cymbal sensitivity, pedal kind of sucks.

[KoRnFlakes1408]

@toymasheenSH oh, i've had mine ever since world tour came out and never had problems, i guess i got lucky then? rock band 3 has a nice looking drum kit.

[iLoveeApple]

Please Help

I Want To Connect This To A Yamaha Electronic Drums But I Don't Know The MIDI Notes

If You Do Please Help

[Opethveen]

I paid 20 dollar for this bastard!! :D:D:D

[betonxar]

What happened with the orange lever?

I just waiting for my premium drumset. :D

[LuridShadowX]

Thanks for the review, Toymachine. I was debating on whether to wait for the BH drums with WoR or get these, but I guess I'll pass and save a buck...and the frustration.

AND HOLY SHAT OUR CHARACTERS LOOK ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME. :O

[hulster78]

dude u are good

[nuggz503]

Rock Band2 stock drum kit ($30 ebay), Xcell Pads ($20), and my DIY pedal made from a DW 7000 ($23 used from ebay shipping included in price) would whoop this thing any day...... Oh and my Vic Furth sticks 7B's ($7) so I feel like a real drummer = (

[toymasheenSH]

@nuggz503 yeah but you are still playing on 4 Lanes.

[nuggz503]

@toymasheenSH Well Yeah, GH sucks ass IMO. Except GH: Metallica. RB3 will be the death of GH.

[stratisfire]

@nuggz503 dude have you SEEN the set list for warriors of rock?!?!its INSANE i was excited for rockband 3 till i saw the set list

[nuggz503]

@stratisfire I've seen it. I will say that is leaps and bounds abouve GH5, but a lot of those songs are already on or available for RB. Warriors of Rocks does looks to be one of the better GH that's been release, but still not good enough for me to get off the RB bandwagon. The RB pro feature will still, i think, give the edge to RB. That and the over 2000 song library. But to each is to own.

[n1gh7cr4wl]

@nuggz503 No I dont think it will

Guitar Pro Mode ?

I thought we already have real guitars

And RB3 song list sucks ass

GH6 song list = Best song list ever in RB GH

I like both games very much but I hate guys like you

[nuggz503]

@n1gh7cr4wl your mother loves me

[n1gh7cr4wl]

@nuggz503 ??

No she doesnt

I just hate RB Fanboys trolling on GH

You know I am gay and I love you 2

;D

Greetz from Germany

[nuggz503]

@n1gh7cr4wl no shocker there! carry on pole smoker!!

[swizz1e]

@toymasheenSH wait for the RB 3 premium set :)

[galaxy1212]

i bought these from gamestop for 99$. i like em. I made the cymbals more sensitive, though they are still a little off, but they detect every note. the cymbals are fairly sensitive on mine. there pretty fun to use, and it was worth buying them for me. but thats just my opinion.

[toymasheenSH]

@Shredder2393SH addicted to 5 Lane.

[iciclepyro]

@toymasheenSH you can get ions then get a GHWT box modded with 5 1/4 inch jacks. All you will need after that is a GH pedal.

[toymasheenSH]

@Shredder2393SH rather use a WT kit than Ions.

[09optime]

band hero drums are good but my orange is sorta stuffed because i hit the orange REALY hard and it hits green sometimes

[Jacopr93]

these drums aren't worth the money. I got the PS3 kit and it was totally screwed. I returned it and got my money back. You should rather sace up a little more money and get an ION drum rocker which is MUCH better!

[Monisrocks]

ur right about everything. i tried the midi thing it it doent work. i hate tht the pressure thing doent work

[halonerd04]

i think ill still stick on getting the ghwt set and getting my TD4S

[whiteboard91]

Utter piece of shit this kit is - I bought one a week ago, now both cymbals are double-hitting literally almost every note and the orange is going crosstalk-crazy. What a con and a waste of money. I couldn't give a shit about the pads being good, as the cymbals let the entire thing down.

[GuitarHeroPhenom2100]

im only saying

GH : Drums FAIL, Guitar GOOD

RB : Drums GOOD, Guitar FAIL

[09optime]

@GuitarHeroPhenom2100 true

[tikastilius]

the cymbals are too low for me like you have there :S

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

Number one solution. Buy rock band. Their specialty drums are actually good.

[toymasheenSH]

@YouHaveMetYourMaker Yeah I've been thinking of going 4 Lane for GH lately- I can't afford ION though atm.

[Nubnut]

@toymasheenSH

You could always just get a Goodwood Rock Band set. Had mine for well over a year now (same heads and everything) and still works like a charm.

[Apersonnamedbob]

they look exactly like ion pads,betcha any money they dont work as good as them

[toymasheenSH]

don't have to bet money... They don't

[detox1994]

You could make 2 pieces of wood underneath each side that would solve it :)

[TheMrdrummaboy15]

do the blue red and green drum pad work good? i was going to use this for rock band and use one cymble for blue and the rest pad and do only cymbles cross talk?

[waaazzzuuup]

Is that even possible a full refund?

[waaazzzuuup]

but still your setup sucks you need to put the blue one as far up as possible. The red and green around your blue and facing inward. That helps alot.

[toymasheenSH]

yeah I've since messed around with it- still sucks- also crosstalk is occuring now with. Returning it to logitech for a full refund.

[waaazzzuuup]

Dude i have a logitech drum set aswell.

But first of all your setup sucks!!! Just get a drum throne and put it on the lowest position.

The only thing your right about is the pedal. It sucks indeed but just use your other gh pedal.

[toymasheenSH]

I did- it was even worse

[LaurensNijmegenn]

your wearing socks, thats why ytou dont get grip on your pedal,

stop wining, put on some shoes, and just play the drums.

[toymasheenSH]

you think that's a valid reason?

[Zanith50]

may as well use a real electronic drumkit through midi

[eddan1998]

ions rules!

[Zanith50]

ions suck cos theres only 5 inputs not 6

[eddan1998]

no it has 8

[Zanith50]

no it dont not for guitar hero its like rock band drums theres only 5 drums including bass not 6 like gh5 or 7 if your useing double bass on expert + mode the othe drums on the ions are just copys like you have 2 greens and two yellows and shit

[nuppe10]

Band hero kit absolutely amazing! I've had for almost 4 months now and it still works perfectly. It registers double-strokes and everything. There's also two bass ports so you won't need a headphone splitter. As for the pedal, it's sorta crappy, but to be honest it's best stock GH pedal I've seen so far.

[Zanith50]

@nuppe10 but ban hero has shit setlist means i have to buy is just for drums AWAH

[toymasheenSH]

there are some fun songs on drums

[NateTheGreat328]

Dude I'm 6'5 I know how it feels.

[dylanhellriegel]

dude im 14 and 6ft5 so i would play this alot and that would get annoying lol

[Lotsofpie2222]

I paid 230 for this bastard

[NateTheGreat328]

@Lotsofpie2222 Did the cymbals work alright for you? Mine seem to be dropping alot of notes.

[Lotsofpie2222]

yeah they "work" but never register double strokes

[NateTheGreat328]

I just re-packaged them and am going to send them back, they drop alot of notes.

[Lotsofpie2222]

well i play on the wii, so its the best drumkit out for the wii

[dylanhellriegel]

do think you could buy an ion yellow pad and plug it into the yellow port and use it like that? coz thats what i want to do

[agnese77]

hey, thanks for this review, I've also read that people thinks this is a nice kit, do you think they changed something after you bought it or they're just lucky, I mean 1 kit on 10 is ok and the rest is crap?

[toymasheenSH]

There definitely are modifications you can make. I do also think some kits are better than others.

[goodboy196]

Im an excellent drummer myself. i played these drums in fry's and i felt i was doing soo horrable. main problem was the bass pedal. that thing moves soo damn much. then the cymbals, horrible ass sensitivity.

[NickdaGreat1123]

yeah i just think guitar hero should stick to guitar and not not full band. ever since gh:wt it kept getting worse, except for metallica, that game was pretty badass. but about gh now, the songs arent getting better and like with the drums you can never tell if your hitting the notes. the lag is never good on any tv iv played on... thats just my opinion and i bet a lot of people think the same way

[toymasheenSH]

respectfully disagree

[ZinkMaggot2]

@NickdaGreat1123 its nothing wrong whit the full band in GH i like it and i like RB .......

[008xtreme]

How terribly wrong could they place the snare drum?

[toymasheenSH]

you get used to it- I suck at disco beats anyway though

[cheeseplayswii]

bonerfish?

[awwwscar]

dave grohl didn't play on the album version of this song

[isolated999]

VA Fc'ed wnter also

[rovdjuret1]

would u have bought this or the Roland GHP showed us if they were both for the same price?

[toymasheenSH]

Roland obv

[RVBDeathbot]

Dude, is your in game 'avatar' Nathan Explosion? 'Cause that's just fucking awesome!

[iCybervision]

HAI IRC! And now I know not to waste $120 shipping on a Logitech set I can't fit into my shoebox.

[Kapr1Sun]

Put the set on some books.

[GanonMetroid]

I like your keyboard.

[toymasheenSH]

RocketFish

[Assonfireonastick]

ya! ontario gets REAL snow :P

[guitargod909]

Toy, What was on your computer in the background when you were reviewing? Please respond!

[toymasheenSH]

#scorehero IRC via the Mac OS X Client "Snak"

[BigJAG2004]

The Band Hero kit is good, but the brain being detachable is giving me simmilar problems to the Les Pauls detechable neck. It doesn't lock in properly!

[GregoryZero1234]

Oh hey, it's IRC.

[THTGuy789]

Dude you live in PA? Me too i got like 3 feet of snow =/

[toymasheenSH]

nah I'm in Toronto, ON. Check out hheemm's video

[MaggotSoldier666]

Looks exactly like Ions haha

As for your height problem, just prop the legs of the kit along some 2x4's.

Maybe a few if necessary.

[EnrageD420]

im 6'4" and even with the regular RB kit i need to either do the table top method, or i have a 5inch thick slate of granite that i rest the stand ontop or i can't play at all.  i could just imagine with this kid, doesnt even seem like you can do a table-top setup can you?

[mikeymike06XX]

its a blizzard in NJ.

[shav12]

i know i have like 15 inches of snow

[TheWattershed]

Hi! You are hitting your knee against your blue because it sticks out too much. Push it in so it resembles the GHWT kit.

To make your pedal stay your should wet the rubber dots on the underside of the pedal.

And the cymbals work better if you tilt them more down and rise them up a bit. These steps should make it much more fun to play with this kit.

Cymbals started to wobbles after gotten hit so many times, but you fix this by applying tape around the little metal knob on your cymbal screws.

[toymasheenSH]

thanks for the advice. I don't understand where the tape should go though.

[TheWattershed]

@toymasheenSH Unscrew the yellow plastic things of the cymbals. The metal knob on the yellow screw is where you pul small amout of tape :)

[IBiteMuchHarder360]

look nice

[PocketAces1796]

actualy, michigan already fcd this before pennsylvania

[kragmor]

i do care about FC's and high scores, and i need a new kit, idk, 150 for a good kit, or 99 for a piece of shit...i'll think it out

[IBiteMuchHarder360]

get ions ;-)

[toymasheenSH]

blech 4 lane lol

[ArmourTheLlama]

No One Knows is possibly my favourite drum song ever

[Syclone0044]

4:09 I have the same Logitech kit for Wii and their claim of "auto calibrating sensitivity" *IS* bullshit. It simply DOES NOT calibrate or change sensitivity - ever. Period. Zero evidence exists of it calibrating itself.

This is the major downfall of this kit. It makes the shoddy GHWT kit look like a king in comparison because at least the GHWT kit can use the MIDI-USB Drum Tuner, and that makes ALL the difference.

[TheBigBlackDude1]

Great job. Wait, did Alfredo did the drums before Dave Grohl played it on live?

[OneEyedWonderWeasels]

And btw, that was Alfredo Hernandez on drums for this track. Dave Grohl did the drums on live/ recorded only the Songs for the Deaf album.

[toymasheenSH]

Ouch my bad.

[OneEyedWonderWeasels]

Lol it's cool. Just like everybody falls for the first time.

[OneEyedWonderWeasels]

I love QoTSA

[toymasheenSH]

as do I as do I

[mgoblue508]

Aren't you always the one to say something

[toymasheenSH]

Someone's gotta do it!

[Vixeniita]

I never thought to put my TV above my comp.. that's a good idea lol

[toymasheenSH]

wall mounts aren't cheap though- gives you more room on the desk though whee

[moomandw]

Man, that sucks. Hope the next time somebody makes a drum set thell put some god damned time into it before just pumping out a huge expensive pile of shit.

[FrankieBoombatts]

6 feet tall of pure, unadulterated Canadian hotness

[malcolmgetscrazy]

Amen!

[ThatVileBanana]

Hey Elliot... What's better a GHWT kit or this?

[toymasheenSH]

if the red pad starts dropping notes and cross talk occurs than I'm going to go with the WT kit being better. But I hate the stand for the WT kit lol

[theKingsy]

@toymasheenSH Very understandable. That stand is a pain in the ass. It rocks like a damn chair. Playing Dethklok on X+ doesn't help it either. lol

[parzrevenge]

i assume u love the pedal huh? :p

[toymasheenSH]

oh yeah it's just a dream!

[toymasheenSH]

btw the reason I almost failed at the beginning was because I was moving the pedal back towards me :@

[theKingsy]

Good video man. I told you that you probably wasted your money on it. Good thing you can return it. I will definitely not be buying this anymore and I would only have to pay about $90 for it! WT KIT 4 LYFE!!!...At least until they release the BH kit in the US for 360.

[toymasheenSH]

if your WT kit doesn't drop notes than I'd agree with not wasting your money on this.

[theKingsy]

@toymasheenSH It has been holding up very well so far. Give it about 2 or 3 more months and I will need a replacement. Hopefully BH drums will be US released by then,.

[mgoblue508]

@theKingsy Isn't it great to have a Wii :)

[theKingsy]

@mgoblue508 It is but I play on 360 ;D

[xXxFRAGxXx]

lol, now i see that my band hero stock kit is godlike... pedal is awesome, cymbals are quiet, pads are responsive...

[Insatanic]

FUCK

[Insatanic]

first

[TopleggedSkater]

Nice video man!

[Yoshimitsu4prez]

seems really disappointing, i would have expected them to be somewhat decent. gogo BH drums for 360
