When my Rock Band drums broke, I placed an order with WalMart.com for new ones since they were a mere $54.  Shortly after that, Brandy told me to just go buy a set in the store so I could get back to rocking.  I did so.

And then I sent my broken drums back to EA.

Earlier this week, the EA replacements and the WalMart order arrived on the same day, giving me three sets of drum kits for Rock Band.  That’s some major overkill right there.

I’m actually going to keep two sets and return one (unless somebody reading this wants a cheap set of 360 drums), but the important part is that I’m back in action.  And tonight, Brandy will join me in a drum duel.

I guarantee this will be the first and last time she plays drums with me.

I’d be interested, depending on the “cheapness” portion of the drums. My “blue” drum has started rattling, which is a bad sign.

Give me a call after work today - my cell # is 441 24 25

I ended up cheating the system during my lunch break today. I returned the drums purchased online sans receipt in order to get their in-store value.

But WalMart.com is still selling them for $54 if you’re interested: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8811790

Keep in mind, though, that EA still is not asking for purchase verification and they’re not even looking at what’s wrong with the returns. You could always cross-ship new drums before the blue goes bad.
