It would be nice if they made the drum quality better for the shipping version - one would think for ~$180.

Was wondering when someone would do this. Would only take a midi to (Rock Band) USB converter. As for which piece to hit when you could just make it configurable. i.e. midi keys 2 and 5 go to red, etc. Be interesting to see if they get enough interest to build it. <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jason Schloer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2008 10:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ion Audio shows off prototype of alternate Rock Band drum set at CES]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/ion-audio-shows-off-prototype-of-alternate-rock-band-drum-set-at/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/ion-audio-shows-off-prototype-of-alternate-rock-band-drum-set-at/</guid><description><![CDATA[Chris Paladino from Xbox's official Gamerscore Blog posted a video.<br><br><a href="http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/archive/2008/01/08/555720.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/archive/2008/01/08/555720.aspx</a><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[johnporcaro]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 8th 2008 11:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ion Audio shows off prototype of alternate Rock Band drum set at CES]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/ion-audio-shows-off-prototype-of-alternate-rock-band-drum-set-at/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/ion-audio-shows-off-prototype-of-alternate-rock-band-drum-set-at/</guid><description><![CDATA[<br>They are crappy MIDI drums.  Here's a guess: that hardware alone will cost $100 - $150 or so.  Add the pads and you're looking at $250 - $350 for the setup.  If you really want a good "drum feel" then buy yourself some eDrums.  Better yet, how about a MIDI-to-RockBandThing interface?  That way you can make something like this and just hook them up.... <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kpfeif/2179209337/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/kpfeif/2179209337/</a><br><br>While you're at it, dump those terrible Rock Band sticks and get some decent ones.<br><br>  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kpfeif]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2008 12:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ion Audio shows off prototype of alternate Rock Band drum set at CES]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/ion-audio-shows-off-prototype-of-alternate-rock-band-drum-set-at/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/ion-audio-shows-off-prototype-of-alternate-rock-band-drum-set-at/</guid><description><![CDATA[.. better yet, just play real drums.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rjay]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 9th 2008 1:20AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ion Audio shows off prototype of alternate Rock Band drum set at CES]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/ion-audio-shows-off-prototype-of-alternate-rock-band-drum-set-at/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/08/ion-audio-shows-off-prototype-of-alternate-rock-band-drum-set-at/</guid><description><![CDATA[Haven't you watched South Park?
