**Update** - Using Rockband 2 drums with Guitar Hero 5 for Wii - Final Answer?
**Update**
I bought Guitar Hero 5 for the Wii and it works perfectly with the Rockband 2 Wireless (Beatles) drums.
I also have the Mad Catz triple cymbal expansion pack. The Green and Blue cymbals also work perfectly - the only issue is that the yellow (hi-hat) cymbal triggers the bass pedal. Not sure why....
I would love a work around to this, but I am more than happy with the way it is now....
If you know anyway around that, however, please share...
Hey all,
I recently got the Beatles Premium Bundle for the Wii and love it.
Now, I know that there are conflicting stories with the following question when I search it online, so I am hoping that someone can speak from personal experience.
Will the Wireless Rockband 2 Drums (with usb dongle) work with Guitar Hero 5? I know that the drum lanes will be changed to adapt with the Rockband drums on other systems (Xbox 360, Ps3, etc)....but I want to check for sure with the Wii.
Also, has anyone tried the RB 2 drums with the Mad Catz triple cymbal expansion pack with GH 5?
I know that the RB 2 kit won't work with Guitar Hero World Tour, but I head that things have changed with the release of Guitar Hero 5. So, the drum compatibly issue is the only thing leeping me from buying GH 5. I don't plan on ever buying the GHWT drums.
**Update** - I just randomly ran across these videos - Looks like it works to me - [video=youtube;XGMAtl5ixYQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGMAtl5ixYQ"]HERE[/video]

Thanks a ton in advance,
Matt!
