I decided to play Orange Crush on pro drums to figure out how they chart hi-hat rolls in pro mode.  In the past, they made the hi-hat red and the snare yellow to keep you from having to cross your hands.  I was hoping that they'd chart the hi-hat to the yellow cymbal and the snare to the yellow pad, but instead they charted it as normal (yellow cymbal hi-hat, red snare).  That REALLY messed me up.  I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Honestly I think that's how it should be, since the snare should always be red in my opinion. 
 
It'll take some getting used to no doubt, but I think in the end it works out better.

Well there are only a few tracks that had that red = hihat charting, so it isn't a huge issue.  Maybe they'll reissue or something but I wouldn't count on it.

That sounds about right. I agree, snare should always be on red. Looking forward to see what older songs will be different in pro mode.

Hm, now I'm curious to try that out. Hopefully it's just something that'll take some getting used to, like Timma said.

red should be snare, my concern would be the positioning of the high hat. Is there a decent amount of adjustability for the cymbals? I just realized this would depend on what kit you're using, and whether or not you have the New Cymbals.

This is really good news to me. I have the IONs, so I can kinda set them up however I feel like. That makes it easy to adjust if it feels off with that stuff. Still haven't played any drums on account of it being past midnight when I got home with the game. I definitely will today though!
