I purchased this for my daughter in college as a gift. She loves the drum set, but says that one of the cymbals is not very responsive. I have sent her the info to contact the company, but the hassle of packing to ship...I do not know yet. Otherwise, the ordering process was better than expected. The item was in stock, for the correct system, and shipped right away. The problems with the product has nothing to do with any mishandling of the order. I will say that we are really happy with the compatibility issue that will allow us to use the drums on other systems. ZZounds had the BEST PRICE for a new unboxed item.

"An Incredible Drum Kit for Rock Band"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
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.
Features
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.

Bad cymbal leaves bad taste
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
