I must admit that when all the Cymbals were functional it added a great "authentic" feel to my Rock Band 2 drum kit.

However after about 3wks of drumming I noticed the Cymbals where not responding well until they eventually stopped working all together. It was fun while it lasted but not worth the price for the quality of the product.

Let's face it, the double cymbal set is the one you're most likely to find in a store (say, Gamesmop or Fest Fry). But once you have that, you realize how much you need 3 cymbals. Well, if you manage to find the single set anywhere, you're in luck it comes with the same mounting tools as the triple, so you can upgrade the double set very easily with this one.

I rated 4 stars instead of 5 because really, what you want is the triple set. But since that's pretty impossible to find, getting the double and then this is a good way to fake it.

Best Deals for Rock Band 2 Single Cymbal Expansion Kit

My son and I enjoy playing the drums more with the expansion pack. We purchased both the two-pack and the single cymbal pack. But we've had some issues which limit our enjoyment of them--especially for the cost.

A NOTE FOR LEFTIES:

I you play in left-handed mode, the left-hand red tom becomes a crash or even a ride cymbal. The cymbal expansion packs don't allow for a RED cymbal. They give you BLUE, GREEN, and YELLOW which is perfect for the RIGHT handed player.

NOTE ON CONSTRUCTION:

We've now broken two cymbals. The plastic pin assembly just below the cymbal is a weak point and with some energetic playing, easily crack and break. I managed to repair them by installing a hose clamp over the pin assembly. Also, the clamps that grab the drum set itself don't lock tightly enough so the cymbals slip down while playing. I repaired this by wrapping tape around the shaft of the cymbal mount to widen it so the clamps can grab better.

In summary, the cymbals are fun, but the poor construction is a major issue.

Easy to install and comes with two brackets so you can set up a three cymbal kit.

I was a littel scared that this and the two-pack(sold everywhere) would not be as good as getting the three pack but, it came with everything I needed to either install it as a single cymbal, or to make the set of three. (There are two separate attachments, one that makes it easy to set it up as a crash and ride cymbal)

I love the game, and this really lets you immerse yourself into the drumming.
