Rockband drum set 6.99 at K-Mart

[SAWYER]

I just picked up a set, I don't think they are wireless but still a good deal.

Obviously huge YMMV. I don't even think there's many K-marts around in the first place, let alone many that still have RB1 sets.

Yeah, there's only ~1,400 of them across 49 states. Surprised the OP could even find one.

Lol

Didn't have any at the KMart in Mandeville, LA. This might be an isolated deal that the OP found.

What platform? Wii, PS3??

Wow... this would be a cool deal, not just for the game, but you can use MIDItar and LoopBe to connect it to your MIDI capable music app, like Fruity Loops.

I'd prefer the GH World Tour drumset, but at clearance prices, I'll take a Rock Band set. I believe any set with a USB interface will work.

MIDItar also works with the guitar.... but it isn't perfect. The drums would be perfect, though... MIDItar even handles acceleration.

Thsi OP was talking about the drum kit only.

I picked up the Wired Drum Kit (Original Rock Band, not the newer kits) for the Xbox 360 at WalMart today for $9.96. It wasn't even marked with a clearance sticker.

Just to note, this is the version with a USB connector, kick drum pedal, and four pads. If you want to play Rock Band 2, or the newer Guitar Hero games, I believe you'll need to more complex set with the high-hat/cymbal pads.

Rock Band 2 works just fine with Rock Band 1 drum set. They designed it so you wouldn't have to keep buying a bunch of fake plastic instruments every time you bought a new game, which tends to piss people off.

Wrong about RB2. It's exactly the same as RB1 gameplay wise, only you have the OPTION of buying cymbals for it, and they're just extra yellow and blue pads. It's still just 4 colors and the bass pedal.

Cool then... it's a hell of a deal, then. Anybody know if it works in Guitar Hero World Tour?

Yes it will it sync up game to use only what the drum set has.

Checking out the MIDItar drum demos, you can actually set up two sets of RB Drum kits, using the second set for your "upper" tier. Basically, for $20 and some free software, you get a 10-pad drum kit MIDI input device.

The only caveat is that you need to hook them directly into the PC, sans a hub (potential timing issues through the hub)
