• Will the Drum Rocker be compatible with the new Rock Band 3 game? What about the new Pro Mode in the game?

  Drum Rocker is fully compatible with Rock Band 3, including the new “Rock Band Pro” mode. Users of existing Drum Rocker kits with cymbals will be able to have differentiated drum and cymbal response from their kits when used in game modes where differentiated inputs are supported.

• I received an invoice for the Drum Rocker kit but the accessories were not listed, why?

  We invoice only items that ship. We will send you another invoice for the accessories when they ship. UPS tracking information will be sent via email in 48-72 hours after your order ships.

• Can I use two kick drum pedals?

  To use two kick drum pedals in Rock Band 1 (not 2), you can connect a second pedal to the original kick drum pedal, which should be plugged into the controller module. You can purchase an additional Drum Rocker pedal soon from drumrocker.com.

• Are Drum Rocker pads single- or dual-zone?

  The pads are velocity sensitive, single zone pads.

• Can I remove the color rings from the drum pads if I want to use it as a regular electronic drum kit?

  Yes, the color rings can be removed using an allen wrench.

• Are these sold in any stores or only online?

  We are speaking with all of the major gaming and consumer electronics retail channels, and expect that you’ll be able to buy Drum Rocker from your favorite retailer, either in their store or on their website.

• Can I "choke" or stop the cymbals' sound by grabbing it?

  Drum Rocker cymbals are single-zone, so you can't "choke" them as you could with a regular cymbal or a dual-zone cymbal for an electronic kit.

• Where can I purchase Drum Rocker accessories like a third cymbal or an ION Drum Throne?

  Visit drumrocker.com or ionaudio.com to view and purchase Drum Rocker accessories.

• Will it be possible to "remap" the hi-hat to red for certain songs? Or can I plug the hi-hat cymbal into the (red) snare drum input on the game module?

  There is no cymbal input that corresponds to the red input for the game, and the sensitivity level of the cymbal input is different than that of the pads, so you can’t simply plug the yellow cymbal into the red drum pad input. In those rare instances where Rock Band maps the hi-hat to the red drum pad, you will have to play the part on the red Drum Rocker pad, just as you would with the standard Rock Band kit.

• When will I be able to order the third cymbal?

  The third cymbal is available for purchase now.

• I read that the Premium Drums are limited edition. Does that mean you are only making a certain number of them, or are they only available for a certain amount of time (and for how long)?

  Drum Rocker will be in limited supply for the holiday season; we are making them as fast as we can, but demand has been overwhelming. Your best bet is to preorder Drum Rocker here. We will be shipping units on a first come, first served basis.

• I want to use Drum Rocker as a real electronic drum set. What will I need to be able to do that?

  To use Drum Rocker as a real electronic drum set, you'll need the following:
  
  An Alesis DM5 drum module: Many drum modules can accept the Drum Rocker's 1/4" outputs, but ION recommends the Alesis DM5, which has over 500 professional quality sounds and 12 1/4" trigger inputs perfectly suited to handle the Drum Rocker pads' output levels.
  
  A Module Mount Kit: The Module Mount Kit allows you to mount the DM5 module to your Drum Rocker.
  
  A velocity-sensitive bass drum trigger pad and pedal: The bass drum input on the DM5 requires a velocity-sensitive trigger pad so it can properly respond to your kick drum playing. This kind of trigger pad and an appropriate bass drum pedal should be available at your local music retailer.
  
  An extra 1/4" cable: To connect the bass drum pad to the DM5 module. This is available at your local music retailer.
  
  Once you connect your new bass drum pedal, you can use the included Drum Rocker pedal as a footswitch for your left foot to take advantage of both "open" and "closed" hi-hat sounds on the DM5.
  
  We also highly recommend purchasing the Drum Rocker Cymbal Kit. Adding this third cymbal will give you the feel of playing on a true drum set, which typically has three cymbals: a hi-hat, crash and ride.
  
  Consult the DM5/Drum Rocker Setup Guide for more information on how to turn your Drum Rocker into a real electronic drum kit!

• Is Drum Rocker wireless?

  Drum Rocker is a wired game controller, but the cable is four meters long, which should give you flexibility in determining where the kit should be setup. (Drum Rocker is also quite easy to fold up for storage, as well.)

• I don't live in the US. Can I buy Drum Rocker and have it shipped to me in another country?

  We only accept pre-orders from U.S. and Canadian customers at this time.

• Does Drum Rocker work with other games, or just Rock Band?

  Drum Rocker is designed to work with Rock Band 2, and is compatible with the original version of Rock Band as well. If other music games choose to use the standard drum controller layout that was pioneered by Rock Band, then Drum Rocker should work with them. If other games choose to use a different drum controller layout, those games will not be compatible with Drum Rocker. For example, Activision has stated that Guitar Hero World Tour will work with Xbox 360 Rock Band drum controllers, which means that Drum Rocker should work with Guitar Hero World Tour in the same way that the core Harmonix drums will work.

• Is there a plug for the headset/Mic?

  Yes, there is on the Xbox 360 version.

• What gaming systems is Drum Rocker compatible with?

  There are three (3) specific models, one for PS2/PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. The PS2/PS3 and Xbox 360 models are available now.
  
  Drum Rocker for Wii development is moving forward and we will be taking preorders on drumrocker.com in the coming weeks. We expect to ship the Wii version in early Q3.

• Can I purchase just the Drum Rocker module without the drums?

  We are not planning to sell the Drum Rocker controller module separately.
  
  The Drum Rocker module was designed specifically for use with the Drum Rocker drum and cymbal pads, which have a unique set of output characteristics (as do all electronic drum and cymbal pads and pedals). Plugging another set of triggers with 1/4" outputs into the Drum Rocker module will not yield the same results as using a Drum Rocker kit, and in fact may not work at all.
  
  Although, if your goal is to have a single electronic drum set that can be used with your existing drum module and Rock Band as well, you can go at this from another angle. If your module has 1/4" inputs (and its input sensitivity can be adjusted), we suggest purchasing a Drum Rocker and using its pads with your existing electronic drum module. This way, you can have a single kit for playing games and playing music!

• Can I use Drum Rocker on my original rock band game?

  Yes, Drum Rocker is fully compatible with Rock Band and Rock Band 2.

• Is Drum Rocker compatible with Guitar Hero: World tour?

  While Drum Rocker was designed specifically for use with the Rock Band franchise, Activision has included Rock Band peripheral support in Guitar Hero: World Tour. If you plug your Drum Rocker into your console and play GH:WT, the game recognizes the kit and changes the drum part accordingly. Note that Drum Rocker works with GH:WT exactly the same way the Harmonix drum kit works: your Drum Rocker cymbals will duplicate the drum pads of the same color just as they do in Rock Band.

• Is there a way to differentiate between cymbals and toms of the same color while playing in game?

  Rock Band doesn't differentiate between cymbal and tom pads, so you're free to hit whichever feels most comfortable to you. There are some gameplay modes, however, like the Drum Trainer in Rock Band 2, which use intelligent software to determine when you are hitting a cymbal or a drum and provide the appropriate sounds.

• Is there a diagnostic mode so I can make sure all the drums and cymbals are working properly?

  Drum Rocker works just like the Harmonix drum set in terms of calibration and diagnostics.

• Is there a controller to convert the set into real drums? If so, how much does it cost?

  While Drum Rocker pads can be used with any drum module (or "drum brain") with 1/4" inputs, you will get the best results from a module that has adjustable input sensitivity, so it can be "tuned" to the output of the Drum Rocker pads and cymbals. We recommend the Alesis DM5, which has been tested with Drum Rocker. The DM5 can generally be found for $349 at musical instrument retailers like Sweetwater and Guitar Center. The Alesis Trigger IO has a street price of around $149 and can connect Drum Rocker to a PC to use software as a sound source.

• If I have my own electronic drum pads, cymbals or pedals, will I be able to plug them in to the Drum Rocker module to play Rock Band?

  While you may be able to plug other electronic drum triggers into the Drum Rocker controller module, they may not work with Rock Band.
  
  The Drum Rocker module was designed specifically for use with the Drum Rocker drum and cymbal pads, which have a unique set of output characteristics (as do all electronic drum and cymbal pads and pedals). Plugging another set of triggers with 1/4" outputs into the Drum Rocker module will not yield the same results as using a Drum Rocker kit, and in fact may not work at all.
  
  Although, if your goal is to have a single electronic drum set that can be used with your existing drum module and Rock Band as well, you can go at this from another angle. If your module has 1/4" inputs (and its input sensitivity can be adjusted), we suggest purchasing a Drum Rocker and using its pads with your existing electronic drum module. This way, you can have a single kit for playing games and playing music!

• Why does my Drum Rocker come with three cymbal color rings but only two cymbals?

  We included three color rings so you can be flexible with which cymbal triggers which color. For instance, you may prefer to use the right-hand cymbal as a green or blue trigger. Just remember to match the color of the cymbal ring with the color of that cymbal's connection on the drum module.

• How do I reinitialize Drum Rocker back to its factory defaults?

  Drum Rocker is a controller and doesn't include any software or default "settings". All of the settings related to Drum Rocker are found inside the Rock Band game, so there is no need to reinitialize Drum Rocker itself.

• Where can I get technical support or parts and warranty information?

  Call Tech Support at (401) 658-3743.

• How do I contact ION Audio or inMusic with questions about my order?

  Contact us by e-mailing us through the Drum Rocker website. You can also call (888) 800-0681 for U.S. orders or (954) 761-7550 for Canadian orders.

• How can I get replacement Drum Rocker parts?

  Visit https://www.drumrocker.com/replacement/

• Does Drum Rocker come with a MIDI output?

  Drum Rocker can be used as a MIDI device when connected to a drum module with a MIDI output such as the Alesis Trigger|iO or DM5, though not with the included Drum Rocker module.

• How much is shipping?

  Drum Rocker ships via UPS Ground to U.S. customers for $25.00. Canadian customers will be notified individually regarding the cost to ship Drum Rocker to Canada.

• Is Drum Rocker sold in any stores or only online?

  We are speaking with all of the major gaming and consumer electronics retail channels, and expect that you’ll be able to buy Drum Rocker from your favorite retailer, either in their store or on their website. Be sure to tell them you want Drum Rocker.
