On the USPS website it says 10-14 days but the seller said it would most likely take around 3 weeks. Im not too worried, Im pretty sure it will arrive, just hate having to wait. Time flies when your not waiting for something but as soon as you buy something days seem to drag on LOL

Yea, I know what you're saying hahaha.

(And I just bought 9 RB DLC songs

)

Yeah im getting the metal pedal upgrade & will either buy some support struts or try to make some myself but im waiting until I recieve the drums & game first. Might get some skins one day but they aint really essential. Rockband has some really good DLC, gonna have to control myself as I dont think I can afford to have every song. I have all DLC for GH3 but there aint as much so it aint a big problem.

Not essential. Just makes it prettier

Yea lol. But to be honest, I'm waiting for songs by Linkin Park, maybe Limp Bizkit ...
I'm dying for Linkin Park. Any Linkin Park song

yep - put my metal pedal upgrade on as well - but didnt bother with the poly hinge replacement (even tho it says to, but I have no idea why . . . )

The drum supports ? ? - think you'd have to sit on the kit before it was necessary, but guess its a safer bet.

Some really good DLC on the Music Store too - you'll ahve a ball with RB . . . . hope it turns up for you soon Crazynites.

Skins look great Wutang - now I'm suffering drum envy . . . .

Haha, thanks man.

Btw, want to let you know ... my Nyko Frontman is freaking sweet now.
I tap the Nyko link button and BAM it's connected already!

Switch from Guitar Hero to Rock Band and BAM it's connected within a second!

I'm impressed. Hard to setup, but man it makes life easy now

Ive seen pictures of the drums broken from heavy hitting & id just want to be careful I suppose but the struts really give it alot of extra support, I notice the GH-on tour drums appear to have solved this issue & they look very sterdy.

is anyone who was going to get rockband changed their mind to get GH:WT?
i'm not sure if i wanna just completely forget about rockband cos apparently GH:WT is on a October release for america and i have a feeling rockband should hit our shores very soon, month or two =o

Well if my RB ever arrives

ill be deciding after giving it a go for myself. If I dont like it then Ill proberly sell it on ebay & buy GH-WT as I cant resist what appears to be better drums & the new features of GH sound pretty cool. If I do like it then Ill proberly have to just have both.

Crowded entertainment room wooooooooooooooooooo! xD

Rock Band is awesome. I love it.
However, GH-WT ... I'll have to try out at a demo in a retail store.

Simply because I find the response times in Rock Band better than GH3. In GH3 it was frustrating. I couldn't use the song's rhythm (I'm a pianist) ... I had to strum like half a second earlier so that the game registers in time ...

Am I making sense? xD

couldn't you go calibrate the lag? oO"

See, I don't think it's lag. I think it's the time it takes to send the signal to the game?

I can 'calibrate the lag' to see how it'll help ... is it in Options?

I'll check it out.

I noticed this because I was testing my new Nyko Frontman. And I thought maybe I found it difficult because I had the original GH3 guitar.

I played on Guitar Hero first, and was very bad. Found it awkward, having to time it so that I hit the notes a tad earlier than usual.

Then I switched the Nyko Frontman mode from GH to RB. Played Rock Band and I was awesome (not bagging lol

) and I could play exactly in time with the song's rhythm.

Its proberly lag wutang, if you go into options, do the little test to calibrate the lag & then lets us know if its better.

One quote that has really stirred my attention (apart from the addition of cymbals):

I forgot who (Chad or Travis) asked if he closed his eyes and played his song on Guitar Hero World Tour ... would he be able to achieve a perfect score?

Answer was yes.

Yeah but could I achieve a perfect score ?

Answer is definately NO but I'll still have fun trying.

I suppose one thing that is kinda annoying is ive spent all this money on GH3 DLC & it will be wasted as I highly doubt they would be compatible with GH-WT & i proberly would sell my GH3 before getting this.

I'm can barely handle Medium on the Rock Band drums. I can't survive the first minute on Hard though lol.

Now imagine GH-WT. We basically have an extra note to handle

Oh man, I'm in limboland now. No GH-WT? Or yes ...

Surely our Rock Band has most of the songs already?

You guys reckon that when Rock Band 2 comes out ... will it support the DLC we've already bought? I'm assuming they'll release an improved drum kit ...
