That is usually the case, however some songs (Everlong comes to mind) switch up the positioning of the snare and high hat for more comfortable hand movement. It's all about the sticking. "

Yeah. that's what I meant.  For the songs where the hi-hat is on the red pad, with the snare on the yellow, I wonder if RB3 will change that in pro mode to yellow cymbal for hi-hat, yellow pad for snare.  I tend to doubt it, but it would be nice. "

Sadness will sear next week when I receive RB3 and my Keyboard in the mail, only to find out I have to return the Keys to Mad Catz :|

Same :( "

Sounds like great stuff, good to hear they're a quality product.

I'm assuming that these are not the ones for the Ion kit?

Good to hear. My RB2 kit has been faithful to me (aside from the yellow pad peeling), despite being unforgiving with it.
 
Now, if only the darned things were for sale over here (UK) :(. I do not want to have to buy a whole new drum set just for pro mode. Bah.

Haven't really been keeping up with RB3, but after playing RB2 at a friend's for the first time in over a year, I'm really pumped. Basically I have some questions for anyone in the know.
 
Any word on release date/price for that Fender pro guitar? I've been self-learning guitar for about a year now, and this could really help me improve/get a better grasp on the concepts.
Any place in Canada I can preorder the drums? I've checked Amazon, EB and the usual suspects, but none of the Canadian sites even list it.

I traded in a few PS2 games that were lying around today, along with some DS games that my wife no longer wanted.  I pre-ordered RB3 and picked up the Pro Cymbals that are running $40.  I've been using the RB2 cymbals for about a year now, and I really liked them.  However, one broke, so I figured that I might as well get the updated set.  After playing for a bit, I can tell you that the new cymbals are awesome!  First off, they are ridiculously quiet.  They make practically no noise at all, which is a welcome change from the plastic-y thump that the old ones had.  Also, the 30 degree tilt on them definitely helps keep me from accidentally getting caught up underneath them (a particular problem that I have on fast songs).  So far, I haven't noticed any cross talk or dropped notes.  I'm definitely looking forward to trying Pro Mode with these. 
 
Speaking of which, I'm interested to see how the hi-hat rolls will be charted for RB3.  I suspect that they'll just stick with the standard red as hi-hat, yellow as snare that they've done in the past.  However, I'd like to see if they chart Pro Mode as yellow hi-hat roll, with the snare being the yellow pad.  Guess we'll see in a week!
