Double Rock Band Drum Kits with Drum Machine

Yesterday I saw Andrew Rudson had added support for two kits to his Drum Machine software, so I thought I'd finally give it a try. Software: http://andrewrudson.com

Spare kit thanks to a shipping delay on the replacement that was long enough that they told me to just keep my bad hardware.

I have 4 rock band 2 drum kits. Is it possible to connect two of them together and use one for cymbals for the game?

[rocketcarmike]

@TooYoungToGamble Each drum head is just a piezo sensor that runs 2 wires (ie one circuit) into the "brain". Each hit on the sensor pushes a tiny current through that circuit. The cymbals work the same way, so *theoretically* you could yank the leads coming out of 3 drum heads and solder each to a 1/8" mono jack to create 3 "cymbals" that can be plugged into a normal kit through the standard connectors. I'm only not sure if the current would be the right strength to work properly.

0:45... Fail. That's why you DON'T use two plastic drum kits as a real one. The extension for the pro-mode cymbals would work way better.

@dudecicero Oh, you mean like this 3-year-old video links to at the beginning?

[MaeEvelynn]

lol im sorry but are you holding the drumsticks by the head? cause in the video it looks like they get narrow atowards your hands, but pretty cool use of rock band drums.

I had the tips wrapped in tape to muffle them, combined with the motion blur.

I like how near the end the thing falls over...

Okay, everybody thats bitching and saying that they could play real drums. Good for you! I, as a person that had to sell his drums to support his family and have to face every day as a father, husband, day to day worker, and a person that lives paycheck to paycheck, I say unless you are going to get your daddy to buy me a new set of drums, this is the coolest thing Ive ever seen.

@rocketcarmike - Electronic drum sets existed 3 years ago! Yeah, they might be a bit expensive, but if anyone is serious about learning a proper instrument, why not starting with a real one?

[ChrisCavana]

@dudecicero one question do you think they had the pro cymbals back then?
