    My Guitar Hero drums starting acting up recently (the orange cymbal is sometimes triggered when the blue or red pad is hit, maybe once every 5 - 10 hits but often enough to get annoying and kill a streak).

    I saw a Beatles Rock Band pack in HMV today for €70, it comes with the Rock Band guitar and drums. Worth getting?

    Was it the value edition or the one with the overtly beatles branding on the box?

    The Rock Band one kit, which I have been using, isn't fantastic, but it certainly doesn't register hits where there are none. I would say it drops notes a the odd time though. The Beatles (overly branded kit) drums are actually a modded RB2 set though which is apparantly perfect.

    RB Beatles for €70 is the value edition. I have the original RB drums and find that it sometimes miss the occasional note...

    i have the rb2 drums i brought back from America 6 months ago. Batter them reasonably a few times a week. never had a prob with missed notes or anything, but he red drum pad has 'bubbled', there's an air pocket from the middle of the drum, separating the rubber pad from the rest of it. just re-glue it and tis good as new. despite that i love using the rb drums:)
