So after nearly two years my Rockband 1 drums finally crapped out on me with the yellow pad comitting some kind of digital based suicide. This would be fine were I living in the land of America where you can simply walk in to a store and buy some Rockband 2 drums on their lonesome. Here things are decidedly more difficult as those wireless  marvels were never released here. My current options are to go all out and buy the Ion Drum Rocker or take a huge hit by buying a Beatles bundle with yet another guitar and microphone that I simply don't need.
 
This is the first generation where being in Europe hasn't been a total slap in the face software wise but hardware wise we're still bent over and taking it like champs.
