The cymbals are awesome, all there is to it, makes it a more realistic drumming experience!

and I know alot of people have problems, specifically, the cymbals will get to where you hit the cymbal once, and it registers 3-4 hits. I had this problem as well, but it's a simple fix, or was for me anyway, look under the cymbal, see all those screws? Just tighten them up a little. It fixed my double-triple hit problem. They come loose with play, thus when you hit, the screws will cause enough vibration and the sensor thinks you have hit the cymbal more than once. Hope this helps people!

The product is top notch, but be careful. The detail product description mentions that 2 cymbals come with the kit. The kit only comes with ONE cymbal. I think the confusion stems from the product name "Rock Band 2 Cymbal Expansion". It's not a 2 Cymbal Expansion for Rock Band.... It's a Cymbal Expansion for Rock Band 2.

This cymbal trigger functions just like the two that are included with the ION Drum Rocker game controller. I used a gift certificate to make this effectively a $20 purchase, and let me tell you, at $45 I wouldn't be nearly as satisfied as I am right now.

Setup is relatively easy, though partial disassembly of your kit may be required depending on where you want to position this cymbal. Function so far is comparable to the original cymbals in other words you may have to play with the mount a little to dial it in just right. As with the original pieces, it's a "clunker", making a rather loud, dull noise when struck.

I have also used Pintech TC triggers with my ION, and while a bit more expensive overall, they are quieter and in my opinion have a better feel to them.

When I first got the ION, originally I didn't use the cymbals. I hooked them up because I was considering moving onward to a real drum kit and whether you agree with it or not, Rock Band is actually a great way to start. The only problem is, there's a lot of blue cymbal use that you double on the tom. I did this for less than a week before I decided to throw down on the extra cymbal and I have not had a single regret. The only real disadvantage is having to take the frame apart to get the hardware on. If you have an ION, you absolutely need this. Not only does it make the drums that much more realistic, but it also adds tons to the fun factor and replay value of Rock Band drums.

This is pretty much what you expect it to be: Yet another cymbal for an ION Rocker drum kit. It's almost exactly like the two that come with the ION (there's this weird extra foam thingy) and it feels just like the other two. It certainly made a difference in how I play Rock Band 3, as suddenly I have to pay attention to the blue track. :)

If you were wondering, the metal pole that comes with it is just as long as the longer of the two you received with your ION kit. This gives you a bit more flexibility, I suppose, if you're setting your kit up to be played by a trapeze artist.
