Since Beatles Rock Band is coming out, I've decided to finally get the full set of instruments, but which drumset should I get? I'm considering either the Guitar Hero World Tour one, or the Rock Band 2 drums. Recommendations?

your best bet is either the $300 Ion drum  kit that works as a stand alone electric drumset also. Or get the rock band 2 drum kit and buy the 3 cymbal pack and the second bass pedal. It should run about $150.

I suggest the Rock Band 2 drums with the cymbal expansions, like he said. ^
  
I really don't like the Guitar Hero kit for a few reasons, but you might think differently about them. Look around your local Best Buys and such and see if they have the Rock Band and Guitar Hero kits set up on demos, because it's really just a matter of preference.
 
 The Ion, however, is a waste if you only plan on using the set for the game.

The Ion is clearly the best choice, but it is expensive 
If you don't want to pay for that or cymbal expensions I think the GH ones are the best, they just feel better for me, but I suggest trying all of them out

Ion.

My Rock Band 2 drum kit never, ever drops notes, even with the little drum silencer pads attached. $300 for a video game drum kit is way too much. "

Depends how often to you play really. The average player would be happy with the rock band 2 kit and if you want to upgrade the option is always there.
 
For more serious players who want more than just a Rock Band kit the Ion kit is totally the way to go
 
As for me I've gone thru maybe 3 RB1 drum sets and 1 RB2 set. Owned several different pedals, all breaking after a couple months of play. Then again I play real drums and I consider this my practice kit b4 I head into the studio

Eh,different strokes for different folks.  The rebound on the kits is also an issue I have with the rockband sets  You're pretty lucky with your set,ALL the rb1 and rb2 sets I've ever played on have drop notes here and there "

My Rock Band 1 set did do that after a few months, and eventually the red pad completely cracked, but I've had absolutely no complaints about the RB 2 kit. I guess I did get a little lucky since I have heard a handful of bad stories about even the RB 2 kit, though.

Hands down the Rock Band 2 drum set. I bought the GH:WT set and not only was it slightly broken, it was annoying to use and I didn't like its layout. If you prefer Rock Band over Guitar Hero definitely get the RB2 set. Or Ion of course.

I don't own drums yet, and I'm planning to get the ones that come with the Beatles set. I still need a 2nd guitar though, so if you don't, that may not be an option...

I wish I had your luck. I've had 1 Rock Band kit crap out on me, one RB2 kit crap out on me, and I've even had a RB2 kit with Goodwoods miss notes and overhit. At this point I've just given up on stock kits and I'm saving up for Ions, because this is just stupid. "

My friend bought the Ion drums, 2 different "rock pedals" or whatever those expensive pedals are called, a ton of expensive drumsticks, and he SUCKS at drums. Yeah, he's pretty much a douche. 

I wouldn't mind buying the Ion drumset but like Hobbies said, they're way too expensive and I think I can spend $300 on getting a PS3 or something else more valuable.
 
My rock band 2 drumset misses notes though but I guess I can play fairly good, I'm mixed between hard and expert anyways...my foot pedal broke so I can't even play drums anymore (well except no fail mode but it don't feel the same without the kick).  *cries*
