So lately I’ve been looking at the Omega GM-1 for Rock Band which pretty much let’s you play on a real acoustic drum kit to Rock Band. So I was wondering does anybody have it? I wanna get it but I want to know how it plays with Rock Band. I’ve heard good things about it on youtube but I wanna know more.
Hi/Lo sensitivity mode switchThis makes me a little nervous – compare that to the many parameters available to tweak each trigger separately on, say, the Alesis Trigger IO:
At $250, it doesn’t seem much cheaper than a Trigger IO and a set of triggers.

So you’re saying I should go with that instead of omega?
Yes. The Trigger IO guts are basically an Alesis DM5 without the audio output.
The Omega only lists one high/low sensitivity for all inputs.
The Trigger IO has separate settings for every trigger: gain, crosstalk, retrigger (delay), threshold, and trigger type (piezo, switch, or hi-hat). It also lets you do a “chase mode” where it switches to edit whatever trigger you hit – very convenient.

Pintech and ddrum make triggers that are pretty affordable. You can go even cheaper and make your own for probably $5 a piece.

Okay but the price is no issue for me so I’m still looking
You can use a Madcatz Midi pro adapter to use an electronic drumset,in case you have one already, as well.It works fine for a Roland HD-1,Yamaha DT Explorer,YamahaDD65 and Alesis DM5 (That’s the models they recommend in the back of the MPA’s box but I guess will work with other models as well).
