"Great job on the premium set Ion!"

Feature:
Packed with features as far as video game controllers go. Highly adjustable, you can move the drums/cymbals wherever you want with wing nuts. Also, the pads AND cymbals are velocity sensitive, so the louder you hit them the louder they will play in rock band.

Quality:
Once again I'm grading this as a game controller, not a full-fledged electronic set. The quality is great! It feels natural (once you get a feel for it anyway) and is highly adjustable. Good bounce on all the pads, not loud, the whole thing is stable, it just don't feel cheap at all. (still, be careful not to over-tighten anything) also of note, the pedal feels much more solid, it's looser and easier to press, a bit louder but it's worth it to not have a pedal that's going to snap on you. one more thing, the tracking is way better, you get a lot less dropped notes. this is pretty important in RB2, as I've already run into a few songs with very fast straight 16ths on the snare that i KNOW would get dropped on the RB1 set but i can get up the 4x multiplier easy with this set (provided i pay attention to the tempo :P )

Value:
Pricey, but worth every penny if you're into drumming and like to play rock band.

Desirability:
This set makes chicks dig you. Or if you're a chick and you have this....... call me.

Sound:
Not really much to say about the sound, it's an electronic set and i don't have the drum module. As far as volume, the pads are quieter than the stock RB1 drums. I've heard the RB2 drums come with silencers so I can't compare that.

Ease of Use:
Ease of use.... as far as the set-up, it takes quite awhile and the instructions aren't too detailed, but even so putting it all together is quite easy (though a little extra length on the eye bolts for the cymbals would have been nice). Overall, took between 1 - 1.5 hours for me and I haven't ever set up an electronic kit before.

Support:
I haven't actually dealt with Ion, but I pre-ordered the set and it arrived the day after RB2 came out (i pre-ordered late, from what I hear if you pre-ordered in august they came the week before RB2 was released)

Overall:
GREAT product, definitely worth the upgrade from the RB1 set (i would assume the RB2 set as well, they're basically the same). If you're a drummer that loves your video games and don't want to take the time/effort/money to mod a higher-end set for use with rock band, this baby is for you.

Ion Audio Drum Rocker Set Customer Review

Feature:
More then meets the needs for playing the game. The build is extremely sold and though people complain about the hats wing nuts not being metal they are just nitpicking. The pads have a very nice bounce and the metal/plastic kick pedal is light years beyond the cheap plastic standard kick pedal. The set is made out of sturdy light weight aluminum tubing, heavy plastic (for the rims and parts of the kick pedal Please keep in mind that this is a game controller so drummers out there its not a set of V-Drums and they will never be so relax..

Quality:
Pretty damn good.. specially for a game peripheral

Value:
Buy it... totally worth it..

Sound:
Well they don't make sound on their own so don't know if this really applies.. But I will say that Rock Band 2 really takes advantage of these drums, the sounds soft or hard depending on the hits and in drum trainer mode the game can tell the difference between the hats/cymbals and the pads (so even though it's green it will play a tom if you hit a pad or a crash if you hit the hats/cymbals)

Ease of Use:
Takes a bit of work to setup and get adjusted properly but once it's done it's easy to use.

Support:
No idea haven't needed any support..

Overall:
It's a great deal.. go for it..

News
Drum Rocker delivers the most realistic drumming experience available to any gamer, regardless of platform. That's because it was built by the engineers at Alesis, one of the largest manufacturers of professional electronic drums in the world. As a result, you get a kit that's designed to take a real beating, with all the positioning flexibility that professional drummers demand. While other drum controllers lock you down to a pre-molded plastic array of pads, Drum Rocker's professional aluminum drum rack lets you position your snare, tom and cymbal pads wherever you want. When you're ready to move from playing Rock Band to playing in a rock band, you can swap the game controller module with one of the professional drum brains made by Alesis, and you're ready to hit the road for real!

Designed for Rock Band 2, the Drum Rocker also works great with the original Rock Band as well as any other game that uses the same standard drum controller mapping that Rock Band uses and that also includes Guitar Hero 4 World Tour.

Features
Officially licensed Premium Drum Set for Rock Band 2 video game

Low-noise, velocity sensitive pads

Fully-adjustable setup

Extremely durable

Expandable with third cymbal or second bass pedal

Can be used as a standalone drum kit when used with optional Alesis DM5 module

Can be connected to a PC to trigger sounds using the optional Alesis Trigger|iO

Ultra-quiet velocity sensitive pads.
Drum Rocker's velocity-sensitive drum pads feature a playing surface that is much quieter than other drum controllers. They also feel great - the stick rebound off of the pad is much more natural and consistent than anything else available. The pad housing is made of high-impact plastic, designed to be whacked on stage night after night. No matter how much you punish them, the Drum Rocker drum pads can take it.

The pads are mounted to the drum rack with a metal L-Arm and clamp system, which allows them to be tilted, swiveled, raised and lowered to whatever position you want. Just one warning - once you play these pads, nothing else will do!

Complete the experience with up to three cymbals.
There's nothing like finishing a monster fill by whacking a crash cymbal. Or crossing over to play your hi-hat with your right hand while you keep the backbeat on the snare with your left. Or keeping time on a ride cymbal during the chorus. Drum Rocker lets you do all that and more, with cymbals that can be placed anywhere around the kit.

Drum Rocker comes with two cymbals and mounting hardware out of the box. You get to decide how you want to use the two cymbals that come with the kit - set them up as a hi-hat/crash, crash/ride or hi-hat/ride combination, then add a third cymbal (not included) to round out the kit.

All-metal kick drum pedal.
The kick drum pedal with any drum controller takes a lot of abuse. No need to worry with Drum Rocker - this pedal is all metal and built to last! It's also got the right amount of tension to replicate the feeling of playing a real drum pedal, and we're even building an accessory pedal to allow for double-pedal setups.

The pedal comes with Velcro and retractable spikes, so you can be sure it will stay put. You're not limited to where you place it either - put the kick pedal wherever you feel most comfortable playing it.

Awards from the top critics!
ION Audio has also been awarded Best Hardware/Peripheral by the Game Critics Awards: Best of E3 (Electronics Entertainment Expo) 2008, for the Drum Rocker Premium Drum Set for Rock Band.
