I’ve been dying to relive those younger days with the drum peripheral but it’s damn hard to find nowadays. I wish I could find something for my Series X to play with my preschooler. She’d get a kick out of it.

Just to add that I took a look on CL and eBay, and the prices ranged from $350 to $900. That’s nuts!

I chucked my perfectly working drums years ago because my PS3 died and couldn't play any more. Kicking myself hard rn

I chucked an old hard drive with something like 20 bitcoin on it from my college days without ever giving it a second thought. I think it was like $5 each then. Imagine my surprise when BTC hit $20k.

Me too man. I had two GH kits and a RB one. Never used them, they gathered dust, then eventually they went in the bin.
They were just so bloody bulky.

I did manage to keep two GHWT guitars and the microphone, thankfully.

Clonehero is pretty good. People sell auduino guitars that work better than the old controllers. I converted my old guitar hero guitars into an auduino guitar.

What about the drums and mic?

[-] ReeferPirate@lemy.lol 4 points 10 months ago

Drum support was weeks away last I played a couple years ago. I haven't been keeping up with development but I imagine they're supported by now

Drums are implemented but unfortunately no vocals. Still pretty fun but not the classic experience

Worth noting you can mute the vocal track and kareoke over the songs

YARG is still in development but has vocal support. I've been putting off trying it out since Clone Hero works for me, but I've been keeping an eye on it's development.

Clone Hero can run on any PC. And it works with any USB MIDI drum kit. You can find used cheap ones as low as $100 or buy a new professional E-kit for $2000. If you really want to learn to play the drums (instead of just dragging it out to play video games), the Alesis Nitro is a really great quality kit in the $300-400 range.
