I played the Guitar Hero drum set at Best Buy and it felt cheap in comparison. And people had already broken the plastic cymbals included on the Guitar Hero drum set in two, both of them. It looked to me like the cymbals were horribly designed. A plastic piece like that is bound to break when put under even moderate abuse.
So yeah, go with Rock Band 2's drum set.

Heck, I can walk into any retail store and get a GHIII Les Paul for $40...and that's WITH a copy of GHIII or GH:A thrown in.
Pass.

I still can't believe the legions of people who pay $70 for what is essentially a specially-shaped regular controller. I have a GH III guitar I got for free and I gotta say, with how cheap the thing is built, if I would've paid anything over $40 I would've felt ripped off big time.

-_- Can't we just all get along and make instruments that are fully compatible? =/ People are just gonna stick with stuff they have and both sides'll lose business.

Too bad that in both situations Harmonics was the bereaved.

"WTF Harmonix! You can't release that patch!"
"It's Harmonix's fault. They need to release a patch."

But yeah, the compatability is the determining factor in which one I purchase, though I was hoping to purchase the GH one simply because it has more pads, and thus would be more realistic for my drummer (who actually is a drummer)

Hmm, the way I hear it, the Guitar Hero World Tour drum controller doesn't work too great with Guitar Hero World Tour either :)
As a UK-based PS3 owner with no existing music games or peripherals (but enthusiasm and a bunch of keen friends!), I had been planning to buy the full instrument set and game for World Tour and then just get the Rock Band game disks. However, this compatibility concern - in addition to reliability concerns about the Guitar Hero drum kit, and useability concerns about the guitars - has me thinking that I'll probably be better off just buying the complete Rock Band 2 instrument set and game, picking up the Rock Band 1 disk so that I can import most of the tracks, and just forgetting about World Tour altogether. Any thoughts?

I recommend everyone to do just this.
