Are The Rock Band 2 Drum Kits Broken?
This article was written by: Steven Artlip (Steve519)Remember all the issues the first set of instruments had for Rock Band 1? Well it looks like it might have carried over to Rock Band 2 as evident in this video. I’m noticed a lot of hit detection errors where the pad is hit but the kit and game is not registering contact. Go ahead and watch the video and decide for yourself.
Update: It has been brought to our attention from the Youtube comments that when the blue and red pads are being hit, the yellow pad is registering a slight hit as well. Look closely at the video during those segments. This explains the high percentage of hit notes at the end of the songs but the low score due to the loss of our multiplier.








I was just on line to see how to replace mine….if you look closely i noticed that it isnt that they are not registering but it is that the yellow pad is for some reason being registered as hit….if you look close you can see that when you hit the blue bad continuously….the yellow pad is set off slightly
I've already gone through two drum kits the pads start becomming unglued and bubble upwards making fast patterns hard without a good bounce.
I get so mad because songs like Chop Suey-System of a Down? have alot of red and blue combos and I almost always miss them. I even tried banging a little bit softer and it helped a little bit but it's hard to do so when a fast part comes up. Now that doesnt even work
PS3 wtf my drum pad are hitting by themselves, they pick there own song and difficulty without me doing anything!!!!!
Okay, so i just bought rockband for ps3..and my yellow pad is not working properly..does anyone know where i can get a new drumkit..like replaced for FREE cuz i just got it last week.. im pissed off..and not sure who to contact… if you could email me back, kristin.dann@live.ca with some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much everyone!!
You are hitting those things damn hard though
