The cymbals are optional. They will just provide a secondary point to hit rather than the pad. For instance if you are rocking out on red during a solo you can hit the green cymbol right in front of you rather than reaching all the way around (and possibly missing) to green.

looks good. Is the drum set on stage gonna be available as a premium set?

Yes, and I think that if you buy an attachment from ION it will operate as a set of real electronic drums. Real electronic? Isn't that an oxymoron?

Whats up with the larger guitars in that display case? Anyone have any details on those? They look like game controllers based solely on the fact that they have the Rock Band strum bar, but they appear to be of a more realistic size and build than their smaller counterparts.
If those are premium guitars that will be available from another manufacturer, like the Ion drum-kit, sign me up.

Those are actual Fender Guitars modified to be Limited Edition Rockband controllers. I can't imagine the cost of each one. Has anyone heard how much the Ion drum set will retail for and where I can sign up to get one?
