Matt Ellis Sun, 06 Dec 2009 19:34:48 +0000 http://bombmatt.wordpress.com/?p=4454#comment-634 Thanks for the kind words! I haven't played much on the Wii, so the calibration could be way different. As far as the ION goes, it's been one of the best hardware investments I've made. It takes about an hour to get used to, but once you do, you'll never want to go back to 'standard' drum controllers. I also picked up the Alesis 'brain' to convert the kit to a midi instrument, and I've been using it to record drum tracks. It's a really decent musical instrument as well. Thanks for the kind words!

My question: Is the Ion Rocker really worth the big bucks? Does it really raise the level of playing experience that corresponds to the $250+ w/ cymbals price tag? Also, I felt the calibration (at least on the Wii) was a step backwards on GH5. I had to enter my GH:Met setting to finally get it straight.

Any combination of cymbal and pad, just as long as they are blue and yellow will work. If you have the third cymbal expansion, it's easiest to hit the yellow and blue cymbal at the same time. Enjoy!

I also have a rockin' Ion Drum Rocker and I LOVE IT! But nowhere online (and i have looked at many dozens) will I be told how exactly to activate star power in GH 5 with my drum kit.....*fumes* I have tried both cymbals, red and yellow pads, red and blue, red and foot pedal, etc.... Any help? Ok so I agree that the RB series has more of my attention than GH. I also have a rockin’ Ion Drum Rocker and I LOVE IT!
