Yeah it's silly to spend that much on a controller, but if you plan to do what I did and install a drum module and use it outside of Rock Band then it's a great price for a somewhat decent e-drum kit.  As for this Guitar Hero kit...let's just say it looks pretty familiar and I doubt it will have any of the perks of the Ion.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jarpo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 15th 2009 7:57AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Logitech ups its skins game with the Guitar Hero Wireless Drum Controller]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/logitech-ups-its-skins-game-with-the-guitar-hero-wireless-drum-c/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/logitech-ups-its-skins-game-with-the-guitar-hero-wireless-drum-c/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yes they do, I have a friend that got rock band last year and has gone through about 5 of the cheap drum sets... i'm sure he would like a quality set.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bob Denley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 15th 2009 7:58AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Logitech ups its skins game with the Guitar Hero Wireless Drum Controller]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/logitech-ups-its-skins-game-with-the-guitar-hero-wireless-drum-c/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/logitech-ups-its-skins-game-with-the-guitar-hero-wireless-drum-c/</guid><description><![CDATA[Jarpo's right, the ION kit is worth the money, seeing as it can also be used as an electronic drum kit. This is just an overpriced toy, though.

I play Metallica on my real set and dual bass pedals are badass, but when it comes to the world tour sets, it doesn't really pick up the dual kick pedals and the lil flap the holds the sticks broke. If there's really a good drumset for guitar hero/rock band , let me know. I'm tired of sending the P.O.S. drumset to RedOctane]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jose]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 15th 2009 8:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Logitech ups its skins game with the Guitar Hero Wireless Drum Controller]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/logitech-ups-its-skins-game-with-the-guitar-hero-wireless-drum-c/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/15/logitech-ups-its-skins-game-with-the-guitar-hero-wireless-drum-c/</guid><description><![CDATA[Get the ION set, you can get it dirt cheap from Amazon right now because they have a deal going on where you trade in at least $50 worth of used video games and you get a coupon for 50% off a video game or video game accessory.<br><br>I used my coupon for the ION set, here's how it broke down.
