Manufacturer's Description for Ion Audio IED09 Drum Rocker Premium Drum Set Controller for Wii
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!
Features - Officially licensed Premium Drum Set for Rock Band video games for Wii game system
- 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, and a third cymbal is available as an optional accessory. 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 the third cymbal 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.
Expendable Create your own custom setup with the Cymbal Expansion Pack and Double Kick Expansion Pedal. Have a seat on the ION Drum Throne, and when you're ready to take your playing beyond the Rock Band Game, the Alesis DM5 Professional Drum Sound Module is a great choice for standalone drumming.

"An Incredible Drum Kit for Rock Band"
Feature:
The Wii ION Drum Rocker has the function to be a Rock Band drum kit and an electronic drum kit, making it have a wide spectrum of uses.
Ease of Use:
Although it is a great replacement for the Rock Band 2 stock kit, it took a little over 2 hours to set the whole thing up. The instructions were horrible, so most of the construction was done through logic.
Quality:
The drum kit came like it was just made. Every part was in the box and the quality of the drum kit is excellent.
Value:
It's worth every peeny if you want a Rock Band drum kit that'll last quite a long time.
Overall:
This drum kit is phenomenal compared to my old Rock Band 2 stock kit. After seeing many good reviews aboutthe ION Drum Rockers for XBox 360 and PS3, I decided to buy the Wii version of it as a replacement for my broken stock kit. The pads are extremely silent and offer good rebound unlike the stock kit pads. The cymbals are much more reliable than the PRO-Cymbal Extension for the stock kit. The bass pedal is a little nosiy and glitchy, but is negligible.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?
"If it seems like its not working, call vendor unless you have the skills to repair or want to wait for a new part"
Sound:
Its electronic
Quality:
Overall it rates high buit on of the cymbals had a bad transducer which I replaced from an old kit. Was very frustrating because I knew I could not play that badly but constantly dropped notes due to miss or non hits. Was not until I swapped cymbals that I found the problem to be a deffective cymbal. Self-repair of a brand new item always a bad situation for customer
Manufacturer Support:
Didn't try because its always more trouble than its worth
Overall:
Bad cymbal leaves bad taste
