MTV’s games blogger Stephen Totillo shows you how the drum kit from Rock Band, the upcoming Guitar Hero successor from original developer Harmonix.
How does Totillo get access to the equipment? MTV also owns Harmonix.
I know a tear down video of a videogame peripheral shouldn’t excite me, but I am totally obsessing about this game.
How To Assemble The “Rock Band” Drum Kit [MultiplayerBlog.MTV.com]
Kind of crappy that they’re not doing at least a separate guitar peripheral for the holiday launch. I guess a lot of people will pick up Guitar Hero III and use that one.
I have a Wii, so this is all moot for me at the moment. I’m still looking forward to it though.
As you all may as well discover when playing this game, when your rocking out on the drums, you tend to hear that noise that you just cant do away with unless you crank up the tv. Well, I found a solution for it without turning the TV way up, letting you actualy enjoy the sound of the game, instead of the sound that your drum kit is making.
This site rockbanddrumpads.com offers a sleak option of 2 mm pads that just apply right to your drum kit and make the sound disappear almost completely. It is very affordable (27$ with shipping included) and looks very nice. Alot nicer then the standard drum kit I think.

So if your tired of hearing your drums over the song, give this a try.
I found this site too – http://www.DrumPads4RockBand.com.
They have gum rubber, which is good for the pro’s (I am not one myself
), and the cool looking foam pads also!
