 New GH:WT Drums are much better. |

I bought the GHWT full band set and those first generation drums were not of the best feature. Even if they worked okay at first, they eventually stopped effectual properly. The bass pedal was plastic, felt flimsy and I smashed the sensor pad inside of it within 2 days. I recently 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 roofed 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 right so far. Its understanding 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 complaint is that the same plastic 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 increase 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 shielding layer for the sensor pad underneath 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 satisfied with this new drumset. I have had it for about a week now and it's still effectual well. I just hope it holds up for a while this time around. |
Fantastic for fun

They come nearly absolutely assembled. It took me a minute or two to place everything together.
Everything is effectual 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 land area. Nothing huge, but i was worried that I'll end up with a crack 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 spot them on a touch soft(er).

| I bought the drums since I only had the guitar and since my husband has no appeal 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 keeping a careful 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 rejoinder 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 refurbish or used, but it rejoinder as it suposed to, sure I have some missed notes but I can tell its because I XXXX, I'm still need do. Like the kit, looks like a bit small fixed 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 encounter, was more than probable within 3 business days delivery, pakaging was outstanding, the class said "shape up honest" others a bit more money for, describe as "as new" so I probable 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. |
