Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use the “Rock Band” 2 Cymbal Kit with a “Rock Band” 1 drum kit?
A: The “Rock Band” 2 Cymbal Kit was designed for “Rock Band” 2 drum kits only and will not work with the original “Rock Band” 1 drums.
Q: How do I hook up my “Rock Band” 2 Cymbal Kit to the “Rock Band” 2 drum kit?
A: Connect the cable underneath the cymbal head to the ports on the back of the “Rock Band” 2 control panel. Match the port on the back of the drum kit to the same colored cymbal. Ensure the color on the cymbal jack cable corresponds to the proper drumhead and cymbal.
Q: The cymbals for the “Rock Band” 2 Cymbal Kit are really loose, how can I fix this?
A: Above each cymbal is a wing nut that can be adjusted for varied tension. The tighter it is, the less movement there will be for each cymbal and vice versa.
Q: Will mixing the wrong colored wires for the “Rock Band” 2 Cymbal Kit damage my drums?
A: No. The colors are meant as a guide to show which colors correspond to each cymbal.
Q: What is the difference between hitting the drumhead and cymbals when using the “Rock Band” 2 Cymbal Kit?
A: The only difference in hitting the cymbals over the drumhead for the same colored notes is the hit effect noise that is produced while playing “Rock Band” 2. There is no difference in scoring and you always have the option to hit either the cymbal or the drumhead. The preference is entirely up to the player on which area to hit (drumhead or cymbal).
Q: Which area do I hit on the cymbals for them to work?
A: The best location is directly in the center of the rubber area on the cymbal for ride, and the edge of the cymbal for crash, which produces a louder hit.
Q: Can I hit the hard plastic area on the cymbals?
A: It is not recommended and may damage them.

I've been waiting for these cymbals to hit shelves since they were announced. I bought them and took them home and immediately put them on my Xbox 360 Rock Band 2 drum kit. First song ("I Was Wrong" by Social Distortion), I ran into a few problems and thought I had made a mistake in buying these. While playing the high hat notes, every other note would register as a double hit. Being a real drummer, there are times when I hit the pads harder than other times (such as if the drummer in the song you are playing does the same thing). In "I Was Wrong," I tend to hit the cymbal harder than I would in "Roxanne" for example.
Turns out, the nuts just need to be tightened over the cymbal some more. Once I did this, I moved on to "...And Justice for All" by Metallica and played the song with no problems (other than my own mistakes). The key to using this accessory is making sure you set it up correctly, and tighten all the nuts properly. If anything...[More]

| When I first heard about Rock band and Guitar hero i didn't like the idea of a music game i kind of figured it was dumb. Now that I played them I am a huge fan of music games. I love getting a bunch of my friends together i rocking out with fake instruments. I (of course) am usually the drummer. I owned the Rock band 1 instruments and traded them in for the Rock Band 2 ones. When i heard abou...[More] |

I absolutely LOVE the cymbals. I've played with the 2-pack for a couple months, and just recently bought the one-pack to have the full 3 cymbal setup.
When I first set mine up, I was a little disappointed. I had the nuts tightened completely down, yet as I would play, I would gradually beat the cymbals lower and lower. Upon closer examination, i noticed that there are clips situated ju...[More] |

| I bought these back in November and haven't looked back. Taken my Rockband drumming to a whole new level. Yeah the tightening screws can be a little iffy but about the cymbals themselves I've never had them miss a note. Not once. It took about 2 hours to get used to them because I'm not a "real" drummer and play most of the time on Medium. After I did I was able to FC 5 Gold Star "C...[More] |
