 Poor Warranty December 28, 2008
My son bought the cymbal expansion kit for his Rock Band 2 xbox 360 system. One of the cymbals was DOA as the micro switch did not register the hits properly. I was going to set up a return with the manufacturer, Madcatz, when I realized they did not pay shipping for defective merchandise, even within the warranty period. I'd had problems with the original Drum Kit when we first purchased Rock Band 2 and EA sports was incredibly great when it came to fixing the problem. They shipped us a new drum kit on THEIR dime, in other words, they paid for shipping both ways as it was under warranty. Please be aware of this when purchasing this product. We are returning it to Best Buy today.
 Good expansion kit for Rock Band 2, but... December 28, 2008
I bought the Double Cymbal Expansion Kit and one of the cymbals was defective. When playing a song, I'd hit it perfectly on time with the foot pedal, but it wouldn't register it and it was really frustrating, so make you get both cymbals to work properly. Other than that, great expansion kit. All's we need now is the double foot pedal and we're set.
Solving the "double-hit" problem... December 28, 2008
and yes it is a problem. Hitting a cymbal once often registers twice, throwing off your score and concentration. There are wingnut-like clamps that determine how much tilt, or how loose, the cymbal is when it's hit. I used to keep these as tight as possible, but after loosening the hi-hat a lot, and just barely loosening the crash cymbal everything has registered perfectly.
It can be frustrating, but take some time to go to Freestyle Mode or Beat Trainer and adjust them. It makes these things well worth the purchase. The other problem people have with the clamps during setup: just read the directions before snapping anything together.
Though it took me a week to figure out how to adjust them properly, the cymbals add a whole new dimension to game if you want to make it slightly more difficult.
RockBand 2 Double Drum Cymbals December 27, 2008
Great Product. Adds even more fun to the drum set. It makes it feel more like real drums and also adds a different sound to the game. Easy to install and set up.
A whole new experience December 23, 2008
To those looking for a new experience with their Rock Band 2 drums, I would recommend the double cymbal expansion. Not only is it more fun to hit more than four pads, but it's also more challenging. Songs I normally got 99-100% on, I saw that I was only getting 90-95% on because I was challenging myself to use the new cymbals. But once I got used to it, it became very fun to use.
Those with the problems of the cymbals sliding down while playing, you don't know how to install it properly. The instructions, although hard to understand, clearly state that the arm must be snapped in making the "clicking" noise. At first when I installed it, I too thought it was loose then I realize it wasn't snapped in properly. Once doing so, the cymbals felt very sturdy and I definitely recommend this product.
