So, I got my two Omega pedals (and twin rocker) two weeks ago. And holy shit, wow. Amazing. Having played drums for half my life now (15 years), they were easy to set up. I had no issues figuring it out, like some reviews of Omega pedal have pointed out. Since I’ve played Pearl pedals [...]

RockBand Drumkit Complete
February 11th, 2009
No Comments
I finally got all the stuff I wanted to incorporate into the Drumkit for Rock Band 2. It’s pretty bad-ass, if I do say so myself. Total cost is roughly $435 for everything, but totally worth it. So much fun. Check out the gallery below. [nggallery id=20] Breakdown: RockBand 2 Drumkit: $80 [...]
RockBand 2 Mad Catz Cymbals Review
December 3rd, 2008
No Comments
Update 12/16/2008: UPS just dropped a package from Mad Catz. They didn’t fix my broken cymbal, they sent me an entirely new package, cymbal, mounting hardware and all. No note included saying what was wrong, or anything, just a new cymbal. It looks like it’s been handled, which probably means that someone tested [...]
Guitar Hero World Tour – Last Impression

I’ve decided, due to Amazon’s gracious return policy, to return the game, and get my money back.

As you may know, from my earlier posts, my first drumkit was defective. [...]

I’m sick, so I stayed home from work today. After taking a nap, and feeling slightly better, I decided to try to finish the “single” tour, playing guitar, in Guitar Hero World Tour. I was 81% done last time I turned the game off. When I started today, I was somehow 79% done, [...]
RockBand Bandmate Arrived!
November 5th, 2008

I was pleased when the FedEx man dropped off an unexpected package yesterday. After all, I may not remember everything I’ve bought, but I certainly like getting packages. I looked at the return address: ZCorp. Which I know, from my wife’s employment at Harmonix, is the company who prints the Bandmates, which I’d ordered [...]
Guitar Hero World Tour – RMA Debacle
November 2nd, 2008
No Comments
For those that read the first impression post, here’s an update: The game itself has gotten slightly more fun. Not any less confusing, but at least somewhat challenging. I’ve yet to even come close to failing a song on Expert guitar, but there’ve been some tricky parts. (On a side note, I [...]
