the thing is there's no red cymbal input, so you wouldn't be able to have a crash cymbal in lefty mode. on the drum rocker's website, it says that there's really no need for lefty mode as you could just customize your setup with the pads reversed, ie red on the right, green on the left. that would be a good solution if not for the fact that the chart would still be going in the opposite direction.
I thank god that I was born right handed! YES THANK YOU!
Uh, for the lefties... I believe the problem is that the program utilized in RB2 to distinguish between no cymbals and with cymbals is either not written for lefty mode or isn't being ran for whatever reason.
There is also only one port for the "red" pad. That means if you have the cymbal expansion kit, you can't plug it in for the left handed red crash cymbal. WTF!!!!
nice video i got done watching it right before i saw that you posted here. you did a great job but i dont know if i'll be able to train myself to play lefty and read a righty chart at the same time. would it work if i were to use a splitter for the red jack?
i see you're on the ps3. add me and we can play or something. i been singin a lot lately on RB2.
I'll add you. If you got a splitter for the red it would work,only thing is that during fills and stuff you still would never get the cymbal sounds. Which isn't that big of a deal but we pay the same amount as everyone else, I think for 300+ we should get the same game play. I'll add ya too.

Who the fuck plays the drums lefty anyways.. wanna know what it doesnt work? cause hardly anyone plays it that way. EVERY drum set I have seen and played on has been a right handed one... lol sorry leftys.. guess its time to be ambidextrous
My mom, my gf, 3 of my friends and I all play lefty (whether its the real thing or a game). and since i now know this set has this problem I'll get a different electronic set, so I won't pay extra for the RB compatibility perk. Tho theoretically it can be fixed through a software patch. All it will have to do is take the signal from the green crash and recognize if as red for lefties. Since obviously in right handed mode it recognizes the cymbals separately from the drums.
y do u have to be such an asshole. im Ambidectrious, and this problem wont matter to me cuz i play right handed. but u seriously dont have to be such a fucking prick.
It makes sense why this happens, though...you could have a cymbal plugged in to the snare in lefty mode. I'm not saying this should happen, just that it's not like a horrendous mistake by Harmonix.
Well the good news is that HMX has stopped ignoring the problem. The bad news is that they are now closing threads and deleting posts, without having actually admitted the problem exists let alone promising a fix.
Regarding the 1/4 splitter--that is absurd. Watch the video--the GAME is bugged in lefty mode.
So I get a 1/4" male that splits to 2 1/4" females, right? Then I keep one of the females empty and plug the crash into the other? And I keep it in the green cymbal port?
you guys are fucking retarded. There are thousands for Americans who are left handed. I hope your children are all born left handed. Then again you won't have any children cause no woman is dumb enough to fuck you.
i'm a lefty also, that sucks. i'm in the waiting zone because i'm a ps3 user. maybe being left out was a positive. hopefully all will be fixed before RB2/drum rocker are released for ps3.
ur setup is fucked up-

If you plug in a cymbal to green then turn on lefty mode it will become a red cymbal.

I'll restate, with a splitter you wont get the cymbal sound during fills, you'll just get the drum sounds.

With a 1/4 mono splitter plug you resolve the problem.

I recommend turning off the Dolby Digital. It introduces lag, which can't be compensated for in fills.
yesyes69 3 years ago
That seemed to help the lag a little. I have a DLP so it kinda lags with everything, annoyingly.
kiphol 3 years ago
That delay is pretty unbearable, I could never do fills on that set up.
