Guitar Hero World Tour - Stand Alone Drums (Xbox 360)

I got Guitar Hero World Tour in mid-January. I actually wrote a positive review about the band kit, but that was before my drum kit literally disintegrated. It's not because I played it too hard, because I'm really not THAT good. The pads stopped responding properly, the yellow cymbal straight-up died. The kick pedal stopped working and the cheap plastic snapped in half (this happened pretty much simultaneously).

I would put the actual price of this item somewhere around twenty bucks, yet the company expects you to lay down one hundred for it. The stabiliser inside the actual body of the drum set dislodged, and when I tried to fix it, I cut myself on it. This product has been nothing but agonising trouble for the last two months. I regret buying this 100% and I hope my review stands as a warning to anyone who is interested in getting this product. Considering how worn it gets, you would think that it was thrown around a mosh pit or something. Actually, it just sits still in the corner of the room and gets played 2 or 3 times a week. You'd think a bomb went off on it with how badly it is falling apart.

I was still under warranty at the time, yet RedOctane stalled so much with the process that it isn't under warranty now. I probably can't send the kit in for a replacement. I probably can't even send it to Amazon for a refund. And even if I did try to ship it, it would probably cost an insane amount to ship such a large and heavy item.
