I have to say I've got many friends that are musicians, I play myself but guitar mostly, and if you can get a set of drums for what you are paying for the wii you definitely don't want them because it's the set that the monkey bangs symbols over.... a good drumset, is going to cost more than 250 dollars... save yourself the trouble get the wii and save up for some good drums... or bypass the wii and continue saving for drums
