Jesuits @ CES 2009 - Drum Rocker : The ULTIMATE Rockband Accessory

http://www.thetechstop.net/?page_id=2289

Do you play Rock Band? Consider yourself a maestro on the drums? Constantly lamenting that the "toy drums" that come with Rockband don't let you truly express your creative genius? Well in that case you NEED to watch this episode of our CES 2009 coverage!

We're stopping by the ION booth in the Central Hall to check out their Drum Rocker. This kit isn't just another set of toy drums, they're an actual set of REAL electronic drum pads that have been interfaced with the XBOX 360 and PS3.

supersam02,

Yeah... we did that to ours... TWICE!

There's nothing like a solid steel pedal if you're going to do some serious Rock Band.

I would just buy a real drum kit and learn to play for real.

jryan1971,

That's always an option... but may I add four little considerations?

1. A REAL drum kit equivilant will easily run you $800-$1k.

2. This is actually a REAL drum kit... you can add a module that will allow you to play it stand-alone.

3. The REAL drum kit wouldn't help you all that much if you enjoy playing Rock Band or Guitar Hero.

4. Drums on Rock Band or GH are actually very good training for drummers. We've got two of them in our lab who are drooling over this thing.

I love my IONs and Destroyer Pedal

[stormingsharks]

this is not a real kit this a kit for people who are unsatisfied with their original plastic crap thing. any electric kit is not real drums, but its made to simulate real drums. im NOT saying this is a stupid idea, im saying that its not something i would do. those games were made intentionally made for the purpose for fun and horseplay. but what it looks like people arent satisfied with what they have and they have to get an FC, whatever that means. they get this just so they can get higher pts

i love my ion just finished jamming on it. the only downer is that the cymbals are too loud, upgrade to the pintech cymbals!

[numanuma20]

This is the best drum kit and cheeper too. I can tell you that most drum kit hat are good are $500-$100, and to add more cymbals is $100s of dollars plus another bass is $100 so this is cheeper. I want this so bad.

[DjDrumfreak]

Yep you just put it to your console (Mostly Xbox)

And the game rocognizes and adjust to the game

[anrk94]

[onthebridge98]
