If the DLC was 50 cents you wouldn't see any known bands up for download. Any known songs would probably be cover versions. That money needs to be split several ways: the band, the studio, the development team, the distributer, the MS/Sony/Nintendo, etc. Given that a MP3 is a buck, it makes no sense that the RB version be half as cheap. Also, the reason that pack-in songs can be cheaper is because everybody who buys the game gets a copy. Whereas with DLC only those interested will download. I'd rather spend $2.00 points on a song I like, than $2.50 on horse armor. But would you pay 2.50$ for musical horse armor? I totally would if it wasn't a cover and had been in the Top 40 at some point. :lol: |

So I got the 2 cymbal pack today. CC had one and at 20% off, I figured what the hell...
It will take some time to get used to them. |

I also noticed that the intro sections where you can freestyle maps the cymbals to cymbals, and leaves the pads as toms. Awesome. |
Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
Will take that into consideration. Thanks.
Also, what's the general consensus on two cymbals versus three? |

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
I use a two, and really like it. I'm sure the three would be even cooler, but i didn't feel like waiting. The crash is where it's at mostly though :)

As I said - I have the 2 pack, and really like it. Before that I had zero cymbals, and really liked it. |

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
I have the 2 cymbal set, but wish I had 3. Having 2 cymbals is still a lot of fun though. I may just buy the 3 cymbal pack at some point and either sell the 2 cymbals to a friend, or keep them as replacements if one breaks. Right now though, 2 is fine.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
Speaking of the cymbal pack, what are people doing to stop the 2 cymbal part from slipping down the pole? Since the screws are only plastic, it doesn't tighten completely.

Haven't opened my cymbals yet, but I've heard that you cannot just combine a two cymbal and a one cymbal set without some custom work done to mount them... so if at any point you're going to want 3, you might as well go for that set in the beginning.

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread of not having to cry about starting new threads as oft
My only "gripe" (ie, it's my fault) with the cymbals is that I can't get used to the blue and green essentially overlapping. Almost without fail, if a song is using a consistant ride, then a crash, then back to the ride, I catch my drum stick under the blue pad. I'm sure it's too high, but I haven't found a way to make it more comfortable.
But all in all, the cymbals are just freaking fun. |

They actually snap together, but it takes a lot of force. Once you get them to properly snap, they won't slip down anymore.

Chris Then stop hitting them so hard :) |

2 Cymbals = The Suck 3 Cymbals = The Awesome Sucks that they aren't taller. Too close to the toms for my tastes. But I'll keep at it. It's pretty interesting to play. I'll have to play around with how to dampen the sound. |
