Works with electronic MIDI drum kits that have assignable MIDI notes using a standard MIDI cable.

I use one of Xbox 360 versions with my Roland TD6 and TD3 to play Rock Band 2 and it works great.  I Y'd in my Xbox and TD6 to the same input on my receivers amp, turn down the games instruments, adjust the volumes on the TD6 and RB2 so they match. Now I have many snares and toms to choose from. Sounds Great.

Update: I now use a Roland PM-10 monitor instead of  Y'ing  into the same inputs on the receiver.

The GHWT Drums accepts MIDI Notes through the MIDI input and maps/translates the MIDI note to button/input the Gaming Console understands. The GHWT Drums will only map the following:

RockBand Settings:

RED - MIDI Note 38
YELLOW - MIDI Note 46
BLUE - MIDI Note 48
GREEN - MIDI Note 45
ORANGE - MIDI Note 36

Guitar Hero World Tour Settings:

RED - MIDI Note 38
YELLOW  - MIDI Note 46
BLUE - MIDI Note 48
GREEN - MIDI Note 45
ORANGE - MIDI Note 49
PURPLE - MIDI Note 36

 NOTE:
The Lower end Roland modules do not have ability to map notes assigned to Hi Hat Open/Closed independently. If you set the midi note number for the Hi Hat to 50 instead of 46. The closed Hi Hat would then be 46, so you can trigger the yellow with the Hi Ht closed and hear the closed Hi Hat sound from the drum module.

Here is a video using my DIY mesh drum kit, TD-6 and the GHWT midi controller. I turned down the in game instruments and using the drum sounds from the TD-6.

 

Here is how to get to the midi note settings with the TD6 module:

1. Press edit setup
2. Press right arrow to - CONTROL
3. Press Enter
4. Press right arrow to - NOTE NO.
5. Then hit the drum you need to change note numbers for and then push DEC/- or INC/+ to select the note numbers.

Here is how to get to the midi note settings with the TD3 module:

1. Press Edit a few times till the NOTE # indicator is lit.
2. Hit the drum you wish to set.
3. Press + or - to select the note number.

I have only had experience with the Roland TD6 and TD3.  For help with getting other drum modules working with the GHWT midi drum controller. Go to Docsrockbandmods.netforums.us There is a great community of people there that would be happy to solve any problems you may have.
