I don't have an xbox or Rock Band, I bought these to convert to cheap
practice drum pads to use with a real drum module, ignore this review if
that's not your purpose. The four main pads are easy, just colour coded wires
leading into the main unit. Fairly straightforward to rip out the circuitboard
and rewire the cymbal input socks as outputs for the four drums. Worked straight
away with my D4 module. They're well designed to isolate noise and vibration
from other pads so there's no crosstalk. Cymbals are a slightly trickier, the
plugs are stereo with three wires because one of the wires is a DC supply that
powers a little circuit board inside the cymbal that must do some kind of
pre-processing, but just rip them out and wire the output cable direct to the
wires off the piezo. You will prob need 3.5 > 6.35 mm jack adapters to plug
the cables into your module and you're done, they work well. The bass pedal is
not so useful… It's an on-off switch, seems to be magnetic ( dry reed switch
maybe-). Works well as-is as a hi-hat controller pedal but not as a bass drum
trigger. I tried to stick a piezo on it but there's a lot of noise from the
pedal mechanism causing false triggers ( it's not designed to be silent since
it uses a magnetic trigger). I had a real kick pedal on a pad with a piezo so
I used that instead. Build quality is reasonable, the plastic nuts won't really
hold it together under brutal conditions, use some duct tape. But it's pretty
decent value for $150. Feel is better than a hard rubber pad, but not as good
and bouncy as the v-drums mesh head I'm using as a snare, but reasonable for
epic tom rolls.
