  Save some money and put it towards a REAL electric drum set (or if you have the room, a regular set).

      - It is actually a great price and idea (none / 0)
        
        We have a 1000.00 electric drum kit (got it from a friend used for 200.00). However, I think playing the drums in a game is far more interesting than just practiciing, but the skills learned at the exact same (even better with Rock Band) in my opinion.
        This evolution in the RB set is absolutely no surprise. I may have to pick this up for the boys now and sell the set we have.
        AWESOME NEWS!

      and didn't even notice lol. I read it again and saw the sentence about the programmable drums. Will rockband support this interface? How realistic and efficient is it?

According to the site, the four high-durability, quiet, velocity-sensitive pads can be mounted and rearranged in any position and even outfitted with "professional drum brains" from Alesis.com
