 New GH:WT Drums are much better. |

I bought the GHWT full band set and those first generation drums were not of the best quality. Even if they worked okay at first, they ultimately stopped working properly. The bass pedal was fake, felt flimsy and I hurt the sensor pad inside of it within 2 days. I just bought the stand alone drums and they seem to be a small bit better. The cymbals seem to be much sturdier. All drum pads and cymbal pads are covered with a nice smooth skin that feels excellent and sounds a small bit quieter than the original rubber drum pad notes. This drum kit is really accurate so far. Its sensitive enough and I haven't had any crosstalk issues yet (crosstalk = when you only hit the orange cymbal, the red pad also registers a hit).
My only protest is that the same fake crappy pedal is used in this kit. It doesn't feel too sturdy, but it has withstood a beating by my stout and heavy size 11's. Red Octane did improve the bass pedal sensor a bit by adding the same skin notes as the pads and cymbals. It looks like it is some kind of protective layer for the sensor pad bottom it. I reckon I am going to buy an upgraded electronic bass pedal so I can feel more comfortable bangin that thing with my stout feet. That will also give me the option to have some double bass action.
The kit comes with some cheap balsa wood drumsticks. I recommend sticking with these sticks, because heavier sticks will probably end this set with moderate beating. I can bang on the set as hard as want with these sticks and because they are so light, I don't feel like I am going to break the set.
Overall, I am pleased with this new drumset. I have had it for about a week now and it's still working well. I just hope it holds up for a while this time around. |
Fantastic for fun

They come nearly completely assembled. It took me a minute or two to place all together.
All is working properly, i will update if things start to break down (which i hope they wont). One small nag is that one of the drumsticks that came with it has a chipped part just around the holding area. Nothing huge, but i was worried that I'll end up with a splinter in my hand.
If drums are making too much noise for you, try putting them on the carpet. Compared to my g/f set that is on the hardwood floor, mine that are on thick carpet are making much less noise. Alternatively, you could remove the drums from their stand and position them on something soft(er).

| I bought the drums since I only had the guitar and since my husband has no interest in the game I did not want to buy the full band set and have two guitars. The drums work wonderfully but I played 3 or 4 sets on the first day I had it and at the end of the last song (thankfully) one of the sticks snapped right in half. Thankfully the other half didnt go flying off but I would recommend maintenance a strict eye on your sticks or they may snap like mine did. |
AWESOMMME!!!!!!!!!

after researching reviews from users, teck sites, and stores, one thing I found terrible about this set is some players got problems with the response of one pad and one symbal. after this I found this set used, and for this money, I took the bet... two months in constance use I'm still coming up for those problems, I am not sure is because is mend or used, but it response as it suposed to, sure I have some missed notes but I can tell its because I XXXX, I'm still need practice. Like the kit, looks like a bit small regular electronic drum kit, and feels like a electronic drum kit out of a music store. and even more like the price.
Now about my shop experience, was more than expected within 3 affair days delivery, pakaging was outstanding, the class said "condition honest" others a bit more money for, clarify as "as new" so I expected some scratches, notisable tear and wear, from used and abused, as long and it worked i will be pleased, but to my greatest surprise when unboxed it, it was like I just got it from a new retail store. |
