Give your Rock Band drums some extra lives

One of the complaints of those who have picked up Rock Band for consoles that aren't the Wii is that the drum set included can be kind of loud. We get it; you're jamming along to your favorite song and don't realize you're actually shaking the walls because you're drumming so damn loudly. The landlord gets upset, kicks you out and you're forced to now call the box that Rock Band came in your home.
Well, there might be hope for an alternative future. Thanks to the mod above, you can add some style to those boring drums, as well as help mute the loud banging that comes as a result from wailing on them. For those of you living in close proximity to other human beings, we imagine this is something you're going to want to look into.

You're assuming someone is going to buy this on the Wii. I admit I was stoked to get it. Now, I just realize it is another game that the developer gave to a group that is inexperienced just to make a quick buck. Unless Harmonix/Pi makes a drastic change in the next two months, they can kiss my $190 good bye

No Way I am buying this for the Wii either unless then get off their asses and dome some actual development work, and not just a half-assed ps2 port...

No DLC, but it's still a great game. Remember that the DLC is an investment on top of the game.
If I had no other console besides the Wii, I'd still buy it. There's a lot more gameplay there than Wii Sports, and people often buy Wiis just for Wii sports.

But with the things the wii can do, and all we're getting is a lousy last-gen port! I'd rather they take the 360 version and try to cut back the graphics a little. Not to mention make all the instruments plug into wii remote. No wires going to the system. Allow the singer's actions to mimic the motions of the mic. They could have made a top notch game that actually catered to the Wii, not one that was delivered in the drive-thru
